Turn every photograph I upload into its own independent premium design poster. Do not combine multiple images; output each photograph separately. Use an overall 3:4 portrait composition with two horizontal regions in a strict 1:1 height ratio, each occupying 50% of the canvas.
Keep the original photograph in the upper half, preserving the subject's identity, structure, pose, authentic texture, natural light and shadow, and original colour atmosphere. Apply only subtle, sophisticated colour grading so it has the visual quality of an art magazine, independent publication, and exhibition image. To fit the format, the surrounding environment may be extended naturally, but the subject must not be stretched, distorted, or altered.
In the lower half, use a **two-layer paper and material collage texture**. The outer layer is an off-white, rough handmade-paper ground with coarse visible fibres. Across the middle of the image, place a **narrow horizontal rectangular collage colour field** with casual, irregular edges. Automatically derive its colour from the photograph above, keeping the combined palette low in saturation yet alive. Do not reproduce the photograph in full. First understand the source image's most memorable **structure, direction, visual memory points, and character**; remove irrelevant details, keep only the core forms and relationships that best represent the original, then reinterpret them through paper collage, layered colour fields, and hand-drawn lines. The result must remain recognisably connected to the photograph above at a glance.
Place the subject as a **small, stamp-like motif** within the middle colour field. Position it freely according to its own direction, proportion, and visual centre of gravity; it may be off-centre, touch an edge, float, or be partially cropped, with no need to explain the whole form. The composition must preserve **abundant, deliberate whitespace**. Leave ample empty space above and below the colour field so that the whitespace itself becomes part of the image, working with the subject, the colour-field edges, and a few elements to create breath, spatial depth, and quiet editorial order. Reduce rather than fill.
Render primarily with **deep, matte dark-crayon / wax-pastel-style hand-drawn lines**. Keep the lines minimal, relaxed, naive, spontaneous, and irregular, with slightly rough strokes and natural handmade errors. Supplement them only with a small amount of incised linework, silhouettes, simple colour fields, and light layering; do not produce realistic rendering or add complicated detail. **Some key contours, incised lines, or local details may receive slender gold lines / gold-powder strokes**, like a faint dusting of gold foil adhering to the edges of the linework. The shimmer must be restrained and refined, used only as a finishing touch and never made gaudy.
**Parts of the subject or key forms may naturally cross beyond the middle collage colour field** and extend into the whitespace, breaking through the original boundary to create foreground-background depth, spatial pauses, and a more evocative visual relationship. This boundary crossing should be restrained and intentionally designed, making the image more agile rather than neatly trapped inside a frame.
Introduce only a small amount of text, decorating the broad whitespace with **casual, scribbled, soft handwritten English phrases**, like private notes or spontaneous annotations in an independent publication. The text should be small and light, forming a natural rhythm with the subject and whitespace without taking over the composition.
The overall atmosphere should be **quiet, vintage, comforting, minimal, and literary**, like a paper card reconstructed through art. The paper may have a faint aged texture, overlaid with **fine, subtle granular noise like Risograph stencil printing** to strengthen the tactile qualities of paper and print. Avoid heavy shadows, realistic rendering, strong dimensionality, complex decoration, filling the frame, and templated effects.
