Prompt to Turn Photos into Art-Book-Style Posters: Photorealism × Minimal Hand-Drawn Illustration

Create ONE independent high-end editorial poster for EACH uploaded photo. Never combine photos. Each photo must become a separate poster.

FORMAT
Strict 3:4 vertical. Divide the canvas into two exactly equal 50% horizontal sections.

TOP 50% — ORIGINAL PHOTO
Preserve the photo faithfully: identity, face, body proportions, pose, clothing, objects, composition, lighting, shadows, atmosphere, and colors. Keep it photorealistic with subtle premium editorial color grading. Seamlessly extend the background if needed; never distort or alter the subject.

BOTTOM 50% — MINIMAL ILLUSTRATION
Reinterpret the most recognizable elements as a small, centered, hand-drawn paper illustration occupying only 10–20% of the bottom half. Preserve the key subject, silhouette, pose, objects, and narrative.

Use delicate imperfect lines, bold flat acrylic-style shapes, rough paper grain, handmade brush marks, and organic edges. Keep the background warm white/off-white with generous negative space.

COLOR
Extract dominant colors from the original photo and reduce them to a maximum of 4 restrained, harmonious colors.

TYPOGRAPHY
Optional minimal editorial text such as a short title, location, year, or keyword. Do not force text if unnecessary.

STYLE
Quiet, poetic, refined, minimal, innocent, artistic, thoughtful, premium, and highly recognizable — like a contemporary art book or independent editorial cover.

Summary

Divide the photo into a 3:4 portrait and split it into equal upper and lower 50% sections. Place the top half as photorealistic, and the bottom half as a minimal hand-drawn illustration that depicts only the main subject in small scale. Upload one photo — people, pets, objects, landscapes, etc. — and input the original text as-is. There are no replacement slots. Reduce the original photo's colors to a maximum of four colors, and achieve a finish resembling an art book or independent magazine cover with generous white space.
