Turn each uploaded photograph into a separate, sophisticated design poster. Do not combine multiple photographs; output each one individually. Use a 3:4 portrait composition, with the upper and lower regions strictly equal in 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 light and shade, and original colour atmosphere. Apply only subtle, refined colour grading for an art-magazine and exhibition-image finish. The surrounding environment may be extended naturally to fit the canvas, but never stretch, distort or change the subject.
In the lower half, extract only the photograph’s most recognisable subject, silhouette, structure, pose and narrative relationships. Reconsider its emotions, relationships and visual metaphors, and reconstruct them as a poetic narrative illustration in a Naïve Art + Poetic Surrealism style. Do not redraw objects one by one or copy the full scene. Boldly remove background and irrelevant details, retaining only a few genuinely important forms. Allow displaced scales, substituted objects, floating, pulling, misalignment or illogical combinations to express the original theme anew, making the image unfamiliar yet immediately connected in feeling to the photograph above.
Use a simple, naïve, slightly awkward hand-drawn language. Proportions need not be strictly realistic; contours may hesitate and be irregular. Render with thin acrylic-on-canvas or gouache-like acrylic layers, retaining delicate canvas texture, slight brush marks and uneven paint coverage. The result should resemble a quiet, small canvas painting, not a polished digital illustration.
Build the composition around a tiny subject and an enormous open field. The reinterpreted narrative graphic occupies only a very small visual area and is placed freely according to its direction, proportions and visual centre of gravity: off-centre, at an edge, suspended or partially cropped. Extensive whitespace is the main compositional element, not background; its relationship to the subject creates distance, solitude, air, pauses and room for imagination. Prefer a single absurd yet precise visual relationship to filling the canvas.
Use soft, retro natural colours based on blended warm off-white, grey-green, ochre, terracotta orange, old red and misty blue, adapting flexibly to the photograph’s overall colour temperature. Keep saturation low to medium, warm, gentle and lived-in, without muddy greyness, gloom or an aged yellow cast. A very small amount of clearer warm accent colour should preserve poetry, familiarity and vitality.
Text is an extremely small poetic intervention, with no language restriction. Freely derive a few words or short phrases from the subject, action, emotion, place or metaphor. Set them quietly within the large whitespace in small, fine serif lettering with a literary-publication character or natural handwriting. Maintain deliberate distance from the subject, establishing an art-book / editorial typography relationship.
Combine naïve art, poetic surrealism, absurd metaphor, canvas-painting texture, miniature subjects and enormous negative space. The visual language is quiet, humorous, solitary, gentle and slightly fairy-tale-like, with mature art direction and editorial design. Avoid full-scene redrawing, filled backgrounds, realistic modelling, complex scenes, cartoon styling, a 3D look, commercial illustration and template compositions.
