Prompt

Same treatment:
Turn each uploaded photo into a separate, standalone premium design poster. Do not create a multi-image collage; output each photo individually. Use an overall 3:4 vertical composition with two strictly equal upper and lower regions, each occupying 50% of the canvas.

In the upper half, preserve the original photo's subject structure, authentic texture, natural light and shadow, and existing color atmosphere. Apply only subtle premium photographic color grading so it feels like a lifestyle magazine, independent publication, or art photograph. The environmental background may be extended naturally to fit the format, but do not stretch, distort, or alter the subject.

For the lower half, first understand the original image's true **visual core and meaning**. Decide that what matters most is not simply “what is there,” but “what is most worth remembering”—perhaps a subject, an action, a relationship, a contrast, an emotional instant, or a symbolic idea. Extract the most recognizable **subject, silhouette, posture, spatial relationships, and narrative clues**, then reconstruct them as a playful editorial poster combining “a realistic subject + black-line doodle figures.” Do not mechanically crop out the largest object in the source image. Preserve the visual anchor that best represents the photo's spirit and story, so the lower half is instantly recognizable as corresponding to the original while also feeling like a clever reinterpretation.

Keep the realistic subject's material qualities and identity traits. You may moderately optimize its angle, proportions, lighting, and color to make its defining features clearer. Information unrelated to the meaning may be omitted, but the key relationships supporting the theme must remain. Add a small number of minimalist black-line doodle figures around the subject. Their actions, positions, and interactions should emerge naturally from the source image's form, context, and implied meaning, as though they are responding to, amplifying, or reversing the photo's original story—not performing arbitrary actions.

Derive the palette from the most distinctive and spirited colors in the upper photo; these may be moderately purified, brightened, and reorganized. Use warm white, a pale color, or the most comfortable light tone from the source as the background, with abundant negative space. Let the realistic subject carry the primary color, while the figures and text use black or dark-gray fine lines for contrast. Keep the overall result clean, light, and restrained.

Let the text also grow naturally from the source image's **core meaning, emotion, and visual relationships**. Do not directly name the objects or apply fixed copy. Turn the photo's most memorable underlying idea into extremely short, light, clever handwritten text with a touch of humor or wordplay, as if it were a note, thought, or line of voice-over left by the little figures. The text may follow the subject's contour, a person's movement, or the rhythm of the negative space, working with the figures and subject to complete the narrative rather than appearing as a title pasted on afterward.

Maintain a balance among **the realistic subject, core meaning, miniature narrative, naive linework, and abundant negative space**. Whether the source image depicts a person, animal, plant, food, building, object, vehicle, or natural scene, first identify “what this photo is truly saying” before deciding how to reconstruct it. Avoid capturing objects without their relationships, adding cute interactions without a theme, creating a cartoon-sticker look, using complex decoration, or producing a template-like result.
