Description
Ideal for turning a photo into a highly distilled, flat symbol. The top half shows the original image; the bottom half keeps only the outer silhouette, structural relationships, and emotional features, using layered color blocks and geometric simplification to create a memorable visual. The subject can be centered, offset, cropped, or floating. The style is modern flat illustration: simple shapes, soft contours, limited color blocks, and a subtle hand-drawn touch. No realistic textures or complex lighting. Avoid filling the frame or adding secondary objects.

Imagexiaoxiaodong P151 | Naïve Flat Sketch
Ideal for organizing personal photography, independent publishing, exhibition studies, and lifestyle visual projects. Even when the original photo has an ordinary composition, a cluttered background, or a small subject, you can reestablish the focal point through reduction, reorganization, cropping, and changes in scale—instead of simply applying a filter to the photo. The lower section extracts only the most recognizable subjects, contours, structures, gestures, and narrative relationships from the photo. It then makes new artistic judgments and reconstructs them in a Naïve Illustration + Flat Character Illustration + Hand-drawn Doodle style. Do not copy the photo in full or redraw every object individually, and do not retain the complete background. Actively remove most unrelated information, leaving only the structures, visual direction, and visual memory cues that best represent the spirit of the original. Recreate them with highly simplified geometric forms, irregular organic color blocks, and a minimal number of hand-drawn lines, so viewers can immediately recognize their correspondence with the photo above.
Imagexiaoxiaodong P149 | Flat Art
Suitable for organizing personal photography, independent publishing, exhibition practice, and lifestyle visual work. Even when the original image has an ordinary composition, a cluttered background, or a small subject, you can reestablish a focal point through reduction, recombination, cropping, and changes in scale—instead of simply applying a filter to the photo. In the second half, extract only the most recognizable subject, contours, structures, gestures, and narrative relationships from the photo, then reconstruct them as a hand-drawn, textured flat illustration. Do not copy the photo in full, redraw every object literally, or retain a cluttered background. Actively remove most irrelevant information, keeping only the visual memory points that best represent the original objects and theme. Through further reduction, recombination, cropping, changes in scale, and negative space, re-direct the original image into a more coherent finished work.
Imagexiaoxiaodong P150 | Paper-Cut
Suitable for organizing personal photography, independent publishing, exhibition exercises, and lifestyle visual creation. Even when the original composition is ordinary, the background is cluttered, or the subject is too small, you can reestablish the focus through reduction, rearrangement, cropping, and changes in scale—instead of simply applying a filter to the photo. The lower section extracts only the most recognizable subjects, contours, structures, poses, and narrative relationships from the photo, reconstructing them as a retro-modernist paper-cut collage illustration / Mid-century Modern Cut-paper Collage Illustration. Do not reproduce the photo in full, redraw every object individually, or retain the complete background. Actively remove most irrelevant information, leaving only the structural flow and visual memory points that best represent the original subject. Use silhouettes, large areas of colored paper, organic and geometric color blocks, minimal layering, and positive and negative space to create a concise interpretation, so the relationship to the photo above is immediately recognizable.
