Retro Editorial Illustration Split Poster

Please turn each photo I upload into a separate, high-end design poster. Do not combine multiple photos into a collage; output one poster per photo. Use an overall {argument name="composition ratio" default="3:4 vertical composition"}, strictly divided into two equal sections, with the top and bottom each occupying exactly 50% of the canvas height.

For the top half, preserve the original photograph, maintaining the subject’s structure, realistic texture, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere. Apply only subtle, refined photographic color grading to give it the quality of editorial magazine photography and fine-art exhibition imagery.

For the bottom half, extract the most recognizable subject, silhouette, pose, and narrative relationships from the photograph, then reinterpret them as a light, naïve, retro hand-drawn editorial illustration. Do not mechanically trace or reproduce every detail. Instead, reinterpret the subject through simplified forms, slightly exaggerated proportions, symbolic features, and humorous visual metaphors. Blend the aesthetics of modernist editorial illustration, Bauhaus composition, children’s picture books, and fashion sketching. Keep the forms concise and the lines thin, delicate, and slightly imperfect by hand.

Derive the color palette from the photograph above, using a limited palette with high lightness and low-to-medium saturation. Leave generous areas of off-white or pale negative space. Use a mixed-media texture inspired by watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, oil pastel, and dry-brush techniques. Preserve visible paper grain, rough edges, and slight misregistration. Keep the overall composition balanced, airy, and spacious.
