Turn each uploaded photograph into its own independent, sophisticated design poster. Do not combine multiple photographs; output each one separately. Use a 3:4 portrait composition with two 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, authentic texture, natural light and shadow, and original colour atmosphere. Apply only subtle, refined colour grading for the quality of an art magazine, independent publication or exhibition image. The environment may be extended naturally to fit the format, 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**, and reconstruct them as typographic illustration in which **text is the image**. Do not copy the entire photograph or retain every object. Remove most backgrounds and irrelevant details, and use text as points, lines, surfaces and particles. Through **repetition, scaling, rotation, density variation, arrangement along paths and selective overlapping**, rebuild the subject’s silhouette, volumes, directional flow and defining features, so its relationship to the photograph above is immediately recognisable.
The text itself must construct the form, not decorate an image. Larger letters may build the skeleton and main contours; dense small text may form shadows, texture and weight; sparse text may create edges, air and a sense of dissolution. Locally, text can bend along the subject’s direction, gather, break or gradually thin out, creating the language of **Typographic Illustration / Calligram / Typographic Texture / Visual Poetry**. Derive the words from the photograph’s subject, place, emotion, action, memory or metaphor, choosing the language freely according to context. Avoid meaningless gibberish and mechanical repetition.
Preserve **abundant intentional whitespace** in the lower half. The subject occupies only a small or moderate visual area and may sit off-centre, touch an edge, float or be partially cropped. Whitespace and text density jointly compose the image, using positive and negative forms, gathering and dispersal, scale contrast and asymmetrical balance to create air and space. Even if the source background is cluttered or the subject is tiny, redirect the composition through subtraction, rearrangement, cropping and changes of scale instead of copying the original layout.
Extract **2–4 of the most lively and distinctive colours** from the photograph above and remix them. Moderately brighten, purify and remove muddiness so the text colours feel clear, vivid, warm and modern. Use expansive near-white or very pale ground echoing the source’s overall colour temperature as breathing room. Avoid dirty greys, dark dullness, cheap oversaturation and complex multicolour palettes.
The overall artistic effect combines **text made graphic, representational forms built from words, typographic particles, visual poetry, expansive whitespace and sophisticated editorial composition**. From a distance, the viewer first recognises a simple, powerful image; up close, they discover that the whole subject consists of text. Avoid ordinary typography, words overlaid on photographs, complete scene reproduction, realistic drawing, filled backgrounds, gibberish, commercial headline templates and complex ornament.
