## Prompt

- Model: GPT Image 2

```text
Create a premium vertical travel-journal poster in an exact 50/50 split.\n\nTop 50%: Keep the original reference photo completely real and unchanged same composition, architecture, people, colors, lighting, perspective, and details.\n\nBottom 50%: Transform the same photo into a delicate hand-drawn colored-pencil + watercolor sketch on warm cream paper, with visible pencil strokes, soft washes, subtle paper grain, imperfect outlines, and gentle cross-hatching. Keep every subject recognizable.\n\nAdd elegant handwritten text: “A Beautiful Day” above and “Memories to Keep” below. Minimal, nostalgic, sophisticated travel-magazine aesthetic. No extra objects, no photorealism in the bottom half, exact 50/50 layout.
```

Variables you can change (shown above with their defaults):

- top text: A Beautiful Day
- bottom text: Memories to Keep
