Make a separate premium design poster from every uploaded photograph, without multi-photo collage. Use a 3:4 portrait canvas split into top and bottom of exactly equal height, 50% each.
Preserve the original photograph above, including subject identity, structure, pose, real texture, natural light and original colour atmosphere. Apply only subtle refined grading for an art-magazine and exhibition-image finish. Naturally extend the environment if needed to fit, but never stretch, distort or change the subject.
Below, extract only the most recognisable subject, contours, structure, pose and narrative relationships, rebuilding them as vintage limited-colour printmaking illustration. Do not copy objects one by one or retain every object and background. Actively delete most irrelevant information and keep only the core visual memories representing the original object and theme, so the correspondence with the upper photograph is immediately recognisable.
Use Vintage Printmaking Illustration / Retro Engraving-style Illustration: printmaking linework, hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, halftone dots, limited-colour overprinting, slight ink grain and aged-paper printing texture. Render the subject and a few environmental elements with fine lines, incisions, hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, halftone dots and screen-print / riso-inspired texture. It should resemble engraved printing and vintage multicolour prints, not modern flat-fill illustration.
Compose as a vignette / spot illustration. Make the lower subject distinctly small: one compact, refined scenic unit, central or off-centre, surrounded by exceptionally abundant intentional whitespace. Whitespace is not blank background but a vital partner in breath, space and rhythm. Allow edge placement, suspension or partial cropping; redirect the source into a stronger, more refined work through deletion, rearrangement, scale and whitespace. Never fill the canvas.
Extract 2–4 of the source’s most lively and distinctive colours, compressing them into a limited overprint palette. Moderately brighten, purify and remove grey for fresh yet restrained spot-colour relationships. A few hues such as forest green, lake blue, navy, warm yellow, ochre orange and soft red may suit, with warm white, ivory or aged-paper white. Keep it warm, vintage, fresh and print-like. Avoid dirty greys, gloom, neon, cheap oversaturation and modern digital gradients.
Text is only a minimal editorial intervention with no language restriction. Derive a few titles, keywords or short phrases from subject, place, action, mood or metaphor. Use restrained, widely tracked serif lettering with a movable-type or typewriter quality, placed quietly in whitespace in a refined editorial relationship with the illustration.
Combine vintage print illustration, limited-colour overprinting, engraved linework, halftones, aged paper, a tiny vignette, vast whitespace and editorial typography. Reference vintage engraving + limited spot colors + risograph/screen-print texture + halftone + textured paper + vignette illustration. Avoid object-by-object redrawing, excessive background, full coverage, modern flat-vector aesthetics, complex details, cartoon or 3D effects and formulaic results.
