## Prompt

```text
Please turn each photo I upload into an individual high-end design poster, with each photo output separately rather than spliced together. The overall format is a {composition_ratio}, with top and bottom sections strictly 1:1 in height, each occupying 50% of the image.

The top half preserves the original photo, maintaining the subject structure, real texture, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere, with only slight high-end photographic color grading for an art magazine or exhibition photography feel. The background can be naturally extended, but the subject must not be distorted.

The bottom half extracts the most recognizable subject and posture to reconstruct as a minimalist black-and-white hand-drawn editorial illustration. Use a horizontal or vertical solid black rectangle as the main visual field, with the subject mostly inside but having key features like the head, roofline, or limbs naturally breaking the boundary, forming a clear "crossing the line" relationship. The subject shouldn't look pasted on, but rather emerging from the black space.

The subject uses only essential outlines and key structures shown in {line_style}. The lines resemble ink pens or photocopied sketches with slight variations in thickness and manual errors, avoiding smooth vector precision. Internal details are minimal.

The composition highlights the conflict between the geometric order of the black rectangle and the free contour of the subject. A large area of white paper surrounds the black zone, creating a strong yet restrained area relationship between black, white, and gray.

The text forms a lightweight black-and-white editorial micro-typography system, extracting a {title_content} from the photo's mood or action, paired with tiny annotations or numbers. Use black handwriting or thin sans-serif fonts kept at a small scale to look like artist notes rather than commercial titles.

The overall aesthetic is white paper × black geometric field × naive hand-drawn lines × subject crossing borders × minimal grayscale—humorous, restrained, clever, slightly quirky, and artistic. Avoid color cartoons, smooth vector edges, 3D textures, or standard centered templates.
