## Prompt

```text
Please make each photo I upload into an independent high-end design poster, no multi-photo splicing, each photo output separately. The overall use of a {aspect_ratio} vertical composition, the height of the top and bottom two areas is strictly 1:1, each occupying 50% of the screen.

The upper part retains the original photo, maintaining the main body's identity, structure, posture, real texture, natural light and shadow and original color atmosphere, and only performs slight advanced color grading to give it the texture of art magazines, independent publications and exhibition images. To adapt to the frame, the environmental background can be naturally expanded, but the main body must not be stretched, distorted or changed.

The lower part extracts the most recognizable **subject, contour, posture and narrative relationship** from the photo, and reconstructs it into a **flat illustration in the style of new folk art paper-cut collage**. Do not copy the photo completely, but delete irrelevant details, and only keep the structures, trends and visual memory points that best represent the original object, and re-summarize them through silhouettes, color blocks, engraved lines, positive and negative shapes and a small amount of cascading, so that people can recognize its corresponding relationship with the photo above at a glance. Subjects, plants, buildings, animals, utensils or environmental elements should be recombined like independent pieces of colored paper, and the modeling can be moderately naive, symbolic, and geometric, not pursuing realistic perspective and complex details, but emphasizing the sense of culture, handmade and contemporary design.

The composition maintains the relationship between a **small-scale subject / seal-like main vision + large areas of white space**, and positions are freely arranged according to the subject's own direction, proportion and visual center of gravity. It can be eccentric, edged or partially cropped, but always maintain clear primary and secondary, sparse and dense rhythms and editorial balance. The subject can be concentrated on one side or below to form a visual landing point, with only a very small amount of auxiliary elements around it, and not forming multiple equivalent focuses.

The material presents a **paper-cut collage + printmaking printing feel**: the edges of the color blocks can be slightly hand-cut, slightly misaligned in overprinting, ink-dropping and gentle particles, retaining the texture of paper fibers and art paper bottoms, avoiding smooth vectors, 3D rendering, photo filters and excessive refinement. The background is mainly cream white, warm white or light paper color, retaining a quiet and sufficient white space.

The color scheme extracts **2-4 most recognizable** colors from the photo above and transforms them into a **bright but restrained, clear but not dazzling** flat color block system; it can be moderately purified, brightened and organized to form a clear hierarchy of main colors, auxiliary colors and a few eye-catching colors, which not only retains the emotion and identity of the original image, but also has the contemporary high-end sense of folk art collage, avoiding gray, dirty, dull, cheap candy-like and messy color matching.

A small amount of text is involved, not limited to language. Short titles, small annotations, serial numbers, color value markings or explanatory snippets can be freely refined according to the subject, location, emotion, cultural imagery or symbolic meaning of the photo. The text should be small, light, and restrained, naturally falling in the white space area or corner of the layout, forming an exquisite graphic relationship with the graphics, and not doing commercial title stacking.

The overall presentation is a high-end visual effect composed of **new folk art, paper-cut collage, symbolic modeling, printmaking texture, large areas of white space and editorial layout**, referring to contemporary folk-art illustration with paper-cut collage aesthetics, symbolic geometric forms, screen-print texture and editorial layout. Avoid realistic illustration, complex perspective, overly dense details, cartoonishness, 3D feel, templated poster feel and cheap cultural and creative feel.
