Create a soft, abstract gradient background with smooth transitions. Use a color palette that shifts from deep black on the left, fading into warm orange in the center, and transitioning into soft yellow on the right. The gradient should be seamless and subtle, with a slightly grainy texture for a vintage, retro aesthetic. Ensure the background is plain with no geometric designs. In the bottom right corner, add a minimalist, square podium, facing directly forward, with clean lines. The podium should have soft, subtle lighting, blending smoothly with the background. The overall style should be modern, minimalistic, and calming, with a soft-focus effect that enhances the gradient and podium
