Design a vertical A4 school notebook cover in a Japanese Igari-inspired alternative stationery aesthetic. Create a cute but slightly edgy scrapbook collage, inspired by Japanese school stationery and handmade paper-cut crafts. Use a soft muted color palette of dusty blue, icy blue, cream, white, charcoal, and small accents of muted pink/red. Feature multiple hawks as the main visual theme — cute stylized hawks with expressive eyes, fluffy feathers, small doodle details, and different poses. Mix realistic feather details with simplified kawaii illustrations. Include hawks flying, perched, and looking toward the viewer. Do not make the hawks look like eagles or other birds. Use layered paper-cut elements throughout the cover: torn paper edges, handmade cut-out stars, clouds, feathers, hearts, tiny flowers, moons, bows, stickers, postage-stamp shapes, tape strips, and irregular paper scraps. Make the elements look physically cut from paper, with subtle shadows between layers and slightly imperfect handmade edges. Add Japanese-inspired handwritten doodles, tiny stars, sparkles, arrows, hearts, decorative symbols, and scribbled notes around the composition. Give it an alternative/cute street-fashion feeling rather than a childish cartoon style. The overall design should feel like a Japanese teen's decorated notebook or scrapbook. In the center, create a clean white or cream paper label with a slightly irregular cut-paper border. Clearly include the following text: SCHOOL NOTEBOOK Grade: __________ Name: __________ Make “SCHOOL NOTEBOOK” the largest text. Keep “Grade” and “Name” neat and easy to write on. Use a cute Japanese stationery-style handwritten font mixed with a simple clean font. Make all text spelled correctly and highly readable. Arrange the hawks and paper-cut decorations around the label without covering the writing area. Add subtle grain, halftone dots, photocopy texture, pencil outlines, ink doodles, and slightly imperfect printing to make it feel like a physical handmade Japanese notebook cover. Composition: balanced but playful, layered collage, lots of small details, slightly chaotic scrapbook arrangement, white space around the central label, vertical A4 notebook cover, full-bleed design, cute + alternative + dreamy + slightly rebellious Japanese aesthetic. Avoid: photorealistic birds, generic school clipart, childish cartoon style, overly bright colors, excessive pink, 3D glossy graphics, clean corporate design, clutter over the text, illegible typography
