Turn each uploaded photograph into a separate high-end design poster. Do not combine multiple photographs; output each one independently. Use a 3:4 portrait composition divided into two horizontal regions of exactly equal height, each occupying 50% of the canvas.
Keep the original photograph in the upper half, preserving the subject's identity, structure, pose, realistic texture, natural lighting and original colour atmosphere. Apply only subtle refined colour grading for an art-magazine and exhibition-image quality. Extend the surrounding environment naturally if the format requires it, but never stretch, distort or alter the subject.
Extract only the photograph's most recognisable **subject, contour, structure, pose and narrative relationships** in the lower half, reconstructing them as **naïve hand-drawn illustration with digitally simulated crayon / oil-pastel texture**. Do not reproduce the entire photo, redraw objects one by one or retain most backgrounds and unrelated objects. Remove irrelevant detail and keep only the structure, directional flow and visual memory points that best represent the original. Simplify, subtract and rearrange so that its correspondence with the photograph above is instantly recognisable.
The lower half must **make a fresh artistic judgment**. Even if the original composition is weak, the background cluttered or the subject small, rescue it through **subtraction, rearrangement, cropping, changes of scale and whitespace**, genuinely giving the model authority to redirect the image. The subject need not be complete or faithfully reproduce the original layout. It may sit off-centre, at an edge, suspended or partly cropped, provided the final work is more successful and refined.
Use the **dry-medium texture of crayon / oil pastel / wax pastel**, keeping conspicuous paper gaps, grain, friction, scraped marks and uneven coverage. Describe contours with **loose, rough, interrupted hand-drawn lines**. Do not pursue neatness or realism; emphasise a playful, simple, relaxed **naïve illustration** character. Proportions and perspective may be moderately weakened and simplified, but the subject's identity must remain clear.
Maintain **a small stamp-like form and generous whitespace**. Place it freely according to its direction, proportions and visual centre of gravity, including off-centre, at an edge or partly cropped. Include **abundant intentional whitespace**: it is not merely a blank background but part of the image, combining with the subject, lines and colour shapes to create breathing room, spatial depth and rhythm. Prefer subtraction to filling the canvas, keeping the lower half quiet, relaxed and resonant.
Extract **2–4 of the liveliest, most everyday and theme-defining colours** from the upper photograph, organising them into a **limited palette of mainly low-saturation natural colours with a local bright accent**. The base may be warm off-white paper, with soft light blue, grass green, ochre, cream, grey-green or similar natural hues; use one more vivid orange, coral, warm red or bright yellow as the visual centre or accent. Keep it warm, natural, approachable and soothing. Avoid dirty grey, darkness, excessive nostalgia, fluorescent colours and cheap candy-like colour.
Use only a very small amount of editorial text, with no restriction on language. Freely generate a few words or short phrases from the subject, place, action, mood or metaphor; place them quietly in the whitespace or beneath the subject for a refined image–text relationship, without piling up large headlines.
The overall refined effect combines **Japanese-style playful hand drawing, crayon/oil-pastel texture, rough linework, naïve forms, a small subject, exceptionally abundant artistic whitespace and a lifestyle picture-book character**. Avoid object-by-object copying, excessive background retention, complex scenes, realistic tracing, smooth vectors, 3D, photo filters, filled canvases and templated illustration.
