A comprehensive prompt for transforming individual photos into high-end artistic posters using a hand-drawn doodle collage style. The layout features a split screen with the original photo and a minimalist, sketch-like interpretation.
Please create a separate high-end design poster for each photo I upload. Use a 3:4 vertical layout, with the top and bottom sections strictly at a 1:1 ratio, each occupying 50% of the frame.
The top half retains the original photo, maintaining the subject's identity, structure, posture, realistic texture, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere, with only slight high-end color grading to give it an art magazine and exhibition quality. The background can be naturally extended to fit the frame, but the subject must not be stretched, distorted, or changed.
The bottom half extracts only the most recognizable subjects, outlines, structures, postures, and narrative relationships from the photo, reconstructing them into a Hand-drawn Doodle Photo Collage. Do not copy the entire photo or keep all objects and backgrounds. Instead, remove irrelevant details and select only a few photo fragments that best represent the theme and visual memory points of the original image. Re-express these through cropping, scaling, reorganizing, and white space so the correspondence between it and the photo above is immediately recognizable.
The bottom half requires a new artistic judgment. Even if the original composition is poor, the background is messy, or the subject is small, proactively save it into a valid work through deletion, reorganization, cropping, scale changes, and white space, truly giving the model the power to re-direct the scene.
The composition uses small-scale collage groups + large open spaces. The bottom half should only contain one set of small photo collage units, like a cluster of visual notes placed on white paper. It can be off-center, edge-aligned, suspended, or partially cropped. It should not fill the entire space or replicate large scenes. White space is not just an empty background; it is a part of the image, creating a sense of breath, space, pause, and asymmetrical balance together with the photo fragments, hand-drawn lines, symbols, and text. Less is more.
The visual language uses a mixed media approach of photography collage + hand-drawn doodles + graphic layout design. Photo fragments can be organized in irregular grids, staggered modules, or loose arrangements; edges can have rough, hand-drawn black borders. A few freehand suns, stars, smiley faces, brackets, arrows, cups, lines, symbols, or doodle-style notes can be added to enhance the personal record feel of a scrapbook/zine/editorial collage, but this must be restrained and not overshadow the subject.
The background should be a clean white or very light warm white with large areas of blank space, like a sketchbook, scrapbook, or independent magazine page. The overall vibe is relaxed, everyday, clever, and loose, but the layout must be exquisite, balanced, and durable.
Extract 2–4 of the most recognizable and emotionally valuable colors from the top photo to use in the bottom half's photo fragments, hand-drawn elements, and minor accents, ensuring the overall color is unified, soft, and natural without being cluttered or gray.
Text intervention should be minimal and not restricted by language. Generate a few words or short phrases based on the subject, location, action, emotion, or metaphor, distributed lightly in the blank areas like casual notes in a journal or zine, forming a refined relationship with the photo fragments and doodles.
The final result is a high-end visual effect composed of large white spaces, small-scale photo collages, black hand-drawn doodle lines, a magazine-style layout, and a personal journal atmosphere. Avoid full replication of the original image, excessive background retention, filled screens, complex scenes, heavy decoration, commercial template feel, cheap journal feel, or excessive flashiness.
