Turn each uploaded photograph into its own independent, refined design poster. Do not combine several photographs; output each separately. Use a 3:4 portrait composition with two vertically stacked 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 color atmosphere. Apply only subtle, refined grading for the feel of an art magazine, independent publication or exhibition image. Extend the surrounding environment naturally if needed to fit the frame, without stretching, distorting or changing the subject.
In the lower half, extract only the photograph's most recognizable subject, contours, structure, pose and narrative relationships and reconstruct them as **Mid-century Modern Cut-paper Collage Illustration**. Do not copy the entire photograph, redraw every object or retain the full background. Actively discard most irrelevant information, keeping only the structural flow and visual anchors that best represent the original. Reinterpret them through silhouettes, large pieces of colored paper, organic and geometric color shapes, a little layering, and positive and negative space, so the relationship to the photograph above is immediately recognizable.
Give the lower half full **freedom to redirect the scene**. Even if the original composition is ordinary, its background cluttered or its subject too small, reassess the visual center and use subtraction, regrouping, cropping, scaling, repositioning and reconstructed relationships to make an independently convincing work. Be faithful to the original theme and core visual relationships, not its composition.
Emphasize a **small-scale visual focus with exceptionally generous, intentional negative space**. The subject may be off-center, edge-aligned, suspended or partially cropped. Keep the graphic area restrained, with empty space clearly exceeding solid content. Emptiness is not leftover background but a formal element as important as the subject. Use positive and negative shapes, density, distance, direction and asymmetrical balance to create breathing room, spatial presence and resonance. Prefer a few precise shapes to filling the page just to explain the scene.
Reduce perspective, volume and realistic detail. Emphasize **complete cut-paper contours, flat color shapes, overlapping paper pieces and decorative rhythm**. Preserve slightly hand-cut edges, paper grain, rough print texture and minor color misregistration for the physical-paper character of Cut-paper Collage, Folk Art and Mid-century Modern Illustration. Avoid smooth vector graphics and digital plasticity.
Extract **2–4 of the most distinctive and lively colors** from the photograph above and reorganize them into a limited palette. Moderately brighten and purify them and remove grayness so they remain vivid, warm and clean without becoming harsh. Establish clear area relationships between a dominant color, supporting colors and small accents, preserving the source's color spirit with refined mid-century collage character. Avoid muddy gray, dullness, fluorescent colors, cheap candy colors and chaotic palettes.
Use text only as a minimal editorial intervention, without restricting language or prescribing a fixed title, number or information category. Freely derive a few words or short phrases from the photograph's theme, place, action, emotion or metaphor. Let them enter the broad empty space, subject edges or gaps between shapes quietly, forming refined image–text composition with the cut-paper forms.
The overall effect combines **selective distillation, cut-paper collage, flat composition, a limited palette, paper texture, exceptionally generous artistic negative space and refined editorial typography**. Avoid object-by-object copying, excessive background retention, filled-up compositions, complex perspective, accumulated detail, realistic illustration, cartoon effects, 3D effects and templated posters.
