Do not retype or reflow the headline; keep its exact appearance from the input. Do not add/delete any visual object.\nCOLOR MAPPING: change the black paper background to white #FFFFFF; change every neon cyan paper patch and cyan underline/marker stroke to the site's deep blue #163E9C. Keep the white torn headline strips white with subtle cool blue-gray paper texture and soft shadows so they remain distinguishable against white. Convert black text and black photocopy ink on white paper to deep navy #1A202D or deep blue #163E9C. Preserve white highlights within dark blue ink, and preserve all internal shape details. Change any cream tape to white or very pale blue-gray tape, keeping its original shape and texture. The final palette is dark blue, navy, white and subtle blue-gray only. No cyan, no neon, no black background.\nKeep the headline and NCD / BLOG signature exactly as shown in the reference. Subject identity and every icon remain identical. Same landscape aspect ratio and same pixel dimensions. One image only, not a before-and-after grid.",
