Portrait to Retro Poster
Turn daily photos into character poster art with huge typography.
Showcase
Description
Upload a real-person photo to transform daily moments like drinking, cycling, shopping, or resting into a textured retro typographic poster. It preserves visible features, outfits, and poses while cleaning up cluttered backgrounds. Characters are redrawn using delicate ink lines, color blocks, and paper textures. Short titles are then designed around the actions so that figures and huge typography overlap in the foreground and background. Each poster features an independent composition tailored to the pose rather than a generic template. It defaults to a 3:4 vertical format with cobalt blue paper texture and off-white large lettering. Color schemes, titles, languages, and illustration directions can be customized. Execution is supported in hosts with image capabilities. Image fidelity and typography accuracy depend on the model and source photo quality. Other art styles are optional directions and have not all been thoroughly tested. Product Design: leowang.

Why we love this skill
Transforms real-person photos into recognizable semi-realistic retro illustration posters, precisely preserving character features, poses, and key props while creating spatial depth through giant titles and front-back layered composition. It is a complete protagonist visual design, not just simple text overlay.

ImageTurn Photos into Art Posters
Upload a photo of a person, pet, building, travel scene, street view, vehicle, product, still life, or everyday moment. The Skill first identifies the details that matter most to preserve, then automatically selects an artistic approach—such as translucent watercolor, coarse screen printing, knife-mark rubbing, impasto, or conceptual collage—based on the composition, colors, lighting, and mood. It rearranges the subject’s scale, negative space, material field, and English headline so text and imagery weave together naturally, generating a 3:4 vertical art poster with a clear visual focal point and collectible appeal. You can also specify the artistic material, an English or Chinese title, aspect ratio, color direction, mood, intended use, or a text-free mode. If you don’t specify, the Skill will decide automatically and generate the poster directly.
ImageLive-Action Manga Collage
Turn a portrait photo into a 9:16 vertical collage poster that combines photographic realism with comic-style storytelling. The lower right preserves the person’s real appearance and original pose, while multi-panel manga scenes featuring the same face surround it on the left and upper right. Facial features, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, and overall character remain consistent between the real-person image and the illustrations. The poster blends retro Korean manhwa and American comic styles, with color cel shading, sharp black linework, halftone shadows, and finely rendered hair. Bold white outlines, black panel divisions, white geometric paper strips, and layered shadows create a magazine-inspired live-action manga collage. The comic panels can explore emotional angles such as a side profile, a particular gaze, looking down, or a low-angle view. The background extends the mood of the photo into scenes such as nighttime bokeh, a seaside sunset, streetlights on a lawn, or warm indoor lighting. By default, the image is clean and contains no text, speech bubbles, watermarks, or interface elements. It prioritizes preserving the body orientation, gestures, and expression from the photo without replacing the person or changing the pose. You can also specify the background, clothing, accessories, number of panels, or text. If you do not have a photo, it can create a person based on your description of their gender, age, and overall character, using the same vertical collage composition.
ImageGeometric Photo Collage
Turn photos of people, pets, buildings, or landscapes into geometric collage illustrations with asymmetrical forms, offset paper pieces, a grayscale palette, and fine printed grain. Provide a subject photo and optionally add a target style image. The photo determines the subject’s identity and recognizable features, while the reference guides the styling, composition, negative space, and paper layering. First create a standalone illustration, then optionally make a 3:4 comparison poster with the original photo on top and the illustration below. No text by default; multiple photos are rendered separately. The result can be refined based on actual comparisons, including facial proportions, hair and beard structure, building hierarchy, the negative space within bridges, and the paper texture. This helps avoid generic geometric cartoons and three-dimensional block effects. Version 1.1.0. Three sets of original photos and corresponding target images have been calibrated locally for reference; city details may still appear overly fragmented or too three-dimensional. Cross-subject performance and image generation on the YouMind platform still require practical testing, so exact reproduction is not guaranteed. Image generation capabilities, operating costs, and precise collage alignment depend on the environment used.
