Premium Editorial Poster with Cut-Paper Collage Lower Half
View full prompt & copy

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.

Second World Editorial Photography Poster
View full prompt & copy

Create a vertical 3:4 “Second World” editorial photography poster based on the uploaded photo. ### COMPOSITION Divide the image into two perfectly equal horizontal halves. Upper Half: Preserve the original photograph exactly, allowing only proportional cropping. Keep the original subject, colors, composition, natural lighting, and realistic textures. No redraws or illustrations. Lower Half: Use a warm ivory-white paper background with generous negative space. ### CORE CONCEPT Identify the photograph’s most recognizable visual structure and transform it into a tangible, three-dimensional photographic object in the lower half. The object must retain the original photographic textures and look physically real, with visible thickness, subtle folds or curves, natural shadows, perspective, and realistic contact with the paper. Subject preservation is essential: If the photo contains a recognizable person, building, animal, landmark, or distinct object, make it the centerpiece of the lower half. Preserve its identity, realistic texture, and most of its complete silhouette. Never replace the main subject with background elements. The lower half must clearly display a substantial photographic object, not merely torn paper or a tiny character. ### CHARACTERS & CAPTION Include 0–2 minimalist black line-art characters interacting meaningfully with the photographic object, such as lifting, unfolding, pushing, repairing, or entering it. Add one short, casual, slightly humorous handwritten English caption. Avoid motivational quotes and clichés. ### VISUAL STYLE Realistic photography + warm ivory paper + minimalist black doodles + subtle handmade collage + independent magazine aesthetics. Keep the design clean, bright, minimal, and visually striking. ### AVOID Full-image illustration, generic torn-paper templates, tiny decorative characters, unrelated ornaments, clutter, complex illustrations, and commercial aesthetics. FINAL RULE: The lower half must feel like a real, three-dimensional piece of the original photograph brought into a second world. The main subject must remain immediately recognizable at first glance, even if its physical properties are creatively transformed.
