Split Editorial Photo and Pastel Crayon Poster

SOURCE & OUTPUT Use each uploaded photo as the sole visual reference. Create one independent, high-end editorial poster per photo and output each separately. Never combine images or create a collage. FORMAT & LAYOUT Use a strict vertical 3:4 composition divided into two exactly equal horizontal halves (50/50). UPPER HALF — ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH Preserve the original photograph faithfully, including the subject’s identity, facial features, structure, pose, proportions, natural texture, lighting, and color atmosphere. Apply only subtle premium editorial color grading for an art-magazine or exhibition-photography aesthetic. If necessary, extend only the surrounding background naturally to fit the frame. Never distort, replace, or redesign the subject. LOWER HALF — PASTEL CRAYON MEMORY Reinterpret the photograph as a minimalist, retro paper-texture pastel crayon doodle. Identify the scene’s most memorable subject, pose, relationships, direction, emotional tone, and visual essence. Reconstruct only these defining elements rather than copying every object or illustrating the entire scene. Use thick, loose, grainy, hand-drawn chalk-and-crayon outlines with dry pigment texture, subtle breaks, faded patches, imperfect edges, slight hand wobble, and naturally rounded stroke endings. Add only a few simple pastel color blocks, stripes, dots, or scribbles to suggest essential details. Avoid realistic volume, detailed rendering, and excessive shading. COMPOSITION & NEGATIVE SPACE Keep the illustration small and visually balanced within the lower half, surrounded by generous empty space. Position the subject naturally according to the original photograph, allowing asymmetry, off-center placement, suspended elements, or partial cropping where appropriate. Include only a few tiny environmental clues or abstract doodles, drawn in the same rough, simplified crayon style. Keep them minimal, imperfect, and contour-based. Prioritize breathing room, scale contrast, visual rhythm, and intentional emptiness. Never overcrowd the composition. BACKGROUND & COLOR PALETTE Use a bright, near-white paper background: ivory, cream white, pale off-white, soft apricot white, or very light gray-white. Add only subtle paper fibers and fine grain. Keep the background clean, bright, and clearly lighter than the illustration. Avoid dirty gray, dark yellow, or aged brown paper. Extract 2–4 defining colors from the original photograph and reinterpret them as fresh, soft pastel crayon tones, such as peach pink, apricot orange, cream yellow, mint green, sky blue, or pale lavender. Use sufficiently distinct coral, blue, blue-green, warm orange, or violet outlines for clear contrast. Maintain a gentle, playful, emotionally warm, and refined palette. OPTIONAL TEXT Add only a tiny handwritten note if it genuinely enhances the composition. Keep it sparse, legible, secondary, and unobtrusive. Never use decorative text as filler. FINAL AESTHETIC Create a sophisticated editorial poster combining authentic photography above with a reduced, recognizable, hand-drawn memory of the same scene below. The illustration should feel airy, naive without being childish, playful without looking cheap, and minimal without losing the photograph’s identity or emotional meaning. Emphasize expressive linework, selective color, paper texture, asymmetry, and negative space. NEGATIVE PROMPT No collage, multiple photos in one image, unequal split, distorted subjects, altered identities, full realistic redraws, excessive detail, dense backgrounds, polished vector art, glossy digital rendering, 3D effects, oil painting, thick impasto, heavy crayon buildup, muddy colors, dirty or aged paper, realistic shading, sticker icons, decorative mini illustrations, clutter, overcrowding, ornamental dividers, logos, watermarks, UI elements, or gibberish text.
