## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Reveal [TEXT] with a torn-paper collage. The frame starts covered by gray newsprint with columns of tiny text, black headline bars and a halftone photo block. Horizontal strips of it are ripped away one after another, alternating left-to-right and right-to-left: the tear front races across, the detached strip rolls into a shaded curl as it goes, and the jagged tear lines left behind show a fibrous white paper core and a soft shadow on the layer below. Underneath sits a saturated yellow poster with [TEXT] in huge black condensed capitals and orange halftone dots in the corners. Hold on the ragged reveal, then slide a fresh sheet of newsprint down over everything and loop.
```
