## Prompt

- Model: GPT Image 2

```text
Turn each uploaded photo into a 3:4 design poster. Top half: original photo with editorial grading. Bottom half: lighthearted, naive, vintage hand-drawn illustration. The style mixes Bauhaus composition, children's books, and fashion sketches. Shapes are simplified with slight proportion exaggerations for humor. Uses a high-brightness, low-saturation pastel palette with watercolor, pencil, and crayon textures. Features large white space and 'imperfect' printed edges. Typography uses vintage hand-written styles and restrained fonts that blend into the illustration. The vibe is playful, chic, and romantic.

Original prompt (zh):

请将我上传的每一张照片分别制作成一张独立的高级设计海报，不多图拼接，每张照片单独输出。整体采用3:4竖版构图，上下两个区域高度严格1:1，各占画面50%。

上半部分保留原始照片，准确保持主体身份、情绪、姿态、空间关系、真实质感、自然光影和原有色彩氛围，仅进行轻微高级摄影调色，使其具有时尚杂志、艺术出版物与展览摄影质感。为适配画幅，可自然扩展天空、地面或环境背景，但不得拉伸、扭曲或改变主体。

下半部分提取照片中最具识别性的主体、轮廓、姿态与叙事关系，重构为轻盈、稚拙、复古的手绘编辑插画。不要机械复刻细节，以概括造型、适度夸张比例、符号化特征和幽默视觉隐喻重新表达，同时保持原物一眼可辨。融合现代主义编辑插画、包豪斯平面构成、儿童绘本、稚拙艺术与时尚速写气质，形体简练，轮廓略带迟疑与手工误差，局部特征可适度放大，让画面兼具故事感、时尚感与俏皮感。

配色从上方照片中提取，采用高明度、低至中等饱和度的柔和有限色盘，以近似色统一氛围，小面积互补色制造视觉跳点。使用水彩、水粉、彩铅、粉蜡笔与干刷混合质感，保留纸张颗粒、透底、笔触断裂、边缘毛糙、轻微脏色与旧印刷套色偏差。背景大面积留白，仅以松散淡彩、局部斜线或简单几何元素承托主体，避免复杂场景堆积、写实光影、光滑矢量、3D渲染和过度精修。

文字从照片的地点、人物、场景或主题中提炼少量英文关键词、标题、编号或适配金句，并延续下半部分的手绘编辑语言。主标题采用略带稚拙与复古感的手写艺术字，辅助文字使用克制温和的无衬线或衬线字体，可轻微错位、倾斜、拉伸、叠色或产生旧印刷套色偏移，让文字像插画的一部分自然生长在画面中，而不是后期贴上的排版元素。

整体使用米白或浅色背景与大量留白，上下画面通过相同的主体特征、色彩、姿态和视觉符号形成呼应。整体气质轻松、俏皮、复古、温柔、聪明、时髦、幽默、浪漫、松弛，略带笨拙与古怪自信，像一页被精心保存的旧时尚绘本与现代艺术杂志。
