Image prompt
3,904 charactersTurn each photo I upload into a separate high-end design poster—no multi-image collages; output each photo individually. Use a 3:4 vertical composition, with the upper and lower areas strictly 1:1 in height, each occupying 50% of the frame. The upper half keeps the original photo, preserving the subject's identity, structure, pose, real texture, natural light and shadow, and original color mood, applying only a subtle, refined color grade to give it the quality of an art magazine, independent publication, and exhibition image. To fit the frame, the environmental background may be naturally extended, but the subject must not be stretched, distorted, or altered. The lower half extracts the most recognizable **subject, outline, pose, and narrative relationship** from the photo and reconstructs them as a **flat illustration in a new folk-art paper-cut collage style**. Do not fully copy the photo; remove irrelevant details and keep only the most representative structure, flow, and visual memory points, re-summarizing through silhouettes, color blocks, engraved lines, positive/negative shapes, and a little layering, so the correspondence with the photo above is recognizable at a glance. The subject, plants, architecture, animals, objects, or environmental elements should be recombined like individual pieces of colored paper, with moderately naive, symbolic, geometric forms, not pursuing realistic perspective or complex detail, but emphasizing a cultural, handmade, and contemporary design feel. The composition keeps the relationship of **small-scale subject / seal-like main visual + large area of white space**, freely arranged according to the subject's own direction, proportion, and visual center of gravity; it may be off-center, edge-hugging, or partially cropped, but always maintains clear hierarchy, a rhythm of density, and editorial balance. The subject may concentrate on one side or below to form a visual landing point, with only very few auxiliary elements around it, not forming multiple equal focal points. The material presents **paper-cut collage + printmaking feel**: color-block edges may have a slight hand-cut feel, minor registration offset, ink-drop-off feel, and gentle grain, preserving the texture of paper fiber and art-paper ground, avoiding smooth vectors, 3D rendering, photo filters, and over-retouching. The background is mainly ivory white, warm white, or light paper color, keeping a quiet, ample white space. The colors extract the **2–4 most recognizable** hues from the photo above, converted into a **flat color-block system that is vivid but restrained, bright but not glaring**; they may be moderately purified, brightened, and organized, forming a clear hierarchy of main color, auxiliary color, and a few accent colors, preserving the mood and identity of the original while carrying the contemporary sophistication of folk-art collage, avoiding grimy gray, dull, cheap candy-like, and cluttered palettes. Text intervenes minimally, with no language restriction. Based on the photo's subject, location, emotion, cultural imagery, or symbolic meaning, freely distill a short title, small annotations, numbering, color-value labels, or caption fragments. The text should be small, light, and restrained, falling naturally into white-space areas or layout corners, forming a refined image-text relationship with the graphics, without piling on commercial headlines. Overall it presents a high-end visual effect composed of **new folk art, paper-cut collage, symbolic forms, printmaking texture, large white space, and editorial layout**, referencing contemporary folk-art illustration with paper-cut collage aesthetics, symbolic geometric forms, screen-print texture and editorial layout. Avoid realistic illustration, complex perspective, overly dense detail, cartoon feel, 3D feel, templated poster feel, and cheap cultural-merch feel.
How to use it
Upload one photo, since the prompt is written to turn each uploaded image into its own poster. It was shared as a GPT Image 2 prompt. Keep the instructions about the 50/50 split and the restrained two to four colour palette, because those carry the editorial balance. Swap the title, caption fragments and any cultural imagery to suit your subject or place.
