## Prompt

```text
Design a high-end cinematic character poster in a layered depth composition (9:16 vertical) with a strong foreground–midground–background separation instead of silhouette framing.
The {character} stands slightly off-center in a dynamic, perspective-driven pose, interacting naturally with the {environment}. The camera angle should feel intentional—low-angle for power or slight tilt for tension—creating a sense of motion and presence.
The background should not be contained inside shapes. Instead, build a living world around the character:
atmospheric environments (fog, city lights, ruins, nature, etc.)
light rays, volumetric glow, drifting particles
subtle storytelling elements placed naturally in space (not collage-based)
Introduce floating fragments or layered planes (glass shards, light panels, memories, holographic slices, or torn paper edges) that orbit or intersect the scene, each containing faint symbolic visuals tied to the character’s story—keep them minimal and elegant, not cluttered.
Lighting should be cinematic and directional:
strong key light shaping the subject
rim lighting to separate from background
soft gradients and shadow falloff for depth
Color palette should follow a {color_palette} with smooth transitions and no oversaturation.
Typography:
place the title in a clean, modern cinematic layout
integrate text subtly into the environment (ground plane, light projection, or floating UI style)
avoid heavy or oversized typography
Overall style: ultra-realistic + cinematic editorial, sharp detail on subject, soft atmospheric depth in background, minimal but intentional storytelling elements, premium movie-poster quality.
Avoid: silhouette fill compositions, heavy collage density, watercolor textures, or ink-wash edges. Focus on spatial depth, realism, and cinematic immersion.
```
