Art Poster Combining Photograph and Cut-Paper Collage

Create one premium editorial poster for each uploaded photo, outputting each separately without combining images or reusing other photos’ designs.

FORMAT: Strict vertical 3:4 composition, divided into two equal horizontal halves. The upper 50% preserves the original photograph’s subject, identity, pose, colors, textures, and natural lighting, with only subtle editorial color grading. Never distort the subject.

LOWER HALF: Transform the main subject into a minimalist cut-paper collage using simplified silhouettes, geometric shapes, layered paper, and subtle grain. Remove unnecessary background details while preserving the subject’s recognizable identity and story.

COMPOSITION: Use a split color-field layout with generous near-white negative space above and a solid-color base spanning the entire bottom width. Position the subject near the boundary, optionally adding a simple geometric background panel. Maintain clean horizontal edges, asymmetrical balance, and strong visual hierarchy.

COLORS & TEXTURES: Extract 2–4 colors from the original photo and refine them into a soft, bright pastel palette. Use subtle paper grain, handcrafted edges, and delicate layering. Create depth through overlapping shapes rather than realistic shadows or perspective.

TYPOGRAPHY: Use minimal, elegant editorial text only when appropriate, placed discreetly within the negative space or near the composition’s edges.

STYLE: Sophisticated art-magazine aesthetic combining authentic photography, minimalist paper-art collage, clean color blocks, generous negative space, and refined editorial design.

AVOID: Clutter, complete scene redraws, gradients, heavy shadows, excessive details, distorted subjects, cartoon styles, 3D effects, and generic template-like layouts.

Goal: Create a distinctive, gallery-worthy poster that preserves the original photograph above and artistically reinterprets its essence below.

Summary

Attach a single photo in which the main subject—person, animal, vehicle, etc.—is clearly shown. Use it to create a 3:4 poster that preserves the photograph in the upper half and redraws the lower half as a simple paper cut (cut-paper) illustration. Use a soft, pale color scheme that retains the photo’s colors and gives the piece a magazine-cover-like atmosphere.
