A sophisticated prompt for turning a personal travel photo into a vertical calendar card by adding a clean UI overlay without altering the original person's features.
Use the uploaded photo to generate a 9:16 vertical calendar card.
[1. Execution Mode — Critical]
This is an image editing task, NOT image generation.
Use the original photo as the base layer
Do NOT recreate, redraw, or reinterpret the image
Strictly preserve:
face, identity, expression, hair, body, clothing
original lighting, shadows, color temperature
environment and composition
❗ No beautification, no smoothing, no retouching
❗ The photo must look unchanged
[2. Allowed Operations — Overlay Only]
Only add design elements on top:
bottom 30% soft gradient extension (for calendar area)
subtle translucent mask for readability
calendar layout, month title, and short caption
Forbidden:
repainting or altering existing pixels
changing global color style
applying “design filters”
[3. Color Strategy]
Colors must come from the current image:
extract primary / secondary / accent colors
apply slight desaturation and brightness normalization only
keep original photo color feeling
👉 Respect the image, do not redesign the color system
[4. Layout Structure]
Top 70%: original image (untouched)
Bottom 30%: gradient + calendar
smooth transition, no hard edges
clean spacing, minimal design
magazine-like, not template-style
[5. Calendar Content — Must Be Accurate]
Generate correct calendar for the given month:
Title: July 2026 / 2026.07
Weekdays: Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
Dates: accurate alignment based on real calendar
[6. Caption Rules — Important]
Length: 8–16 words (or equivalent short phrase)
Requirements:
max 2 lines
no exclamation marks
no clichés, no motivational tone
do NOT explain emotions
Preferred style:
subtle, atmospheric
fragment-like, not fully explanatory
leave emotional space
👉 Make people pause, not finish reading
[7. Image Selection Guidance — Key to Success]
Prefer:
side face / partially hidden face
natural遮挡 (hat, hand, shadow)
motion (walking, turning)
mood > facial detail
Avoid:
front-facing portraits
strong identity-focused close-ups
👉 Reduce face-modification risk
[Final Principle]
👉 Do NOT generate a better photo.
Gently place design on the original photo.
