Preserve the original scene, composition, subjects, poses, proportions, colors, and important details accurately. Do not replace or rearrange the main elements. Create a vertical 3:4 editorial poster with a refined photograph-to-hand-drawn-illustration transformation. TOP SECTION — ORIGINAL PHOTO •Keep the uploaded photograph essentially unchanged. •Preserve the exact environment, people/animals, objects, architecture, lighting, colors, and composition. •Make it look natural, sharp, and photographic. •The photo should occupy approximately the upper 50% of the poster. BOTTOM SECTION — ILLUSTRATED VERSION •Recreate the same scene from the photograph as a delicate hand-drawn illustration. •Keep the same subjects, positions, poses, perspective, and recognizable details. •Use a soft watercolor + colored pencil + ink sketch aesthetic. •Fine expressive outlines, subtle pencil texture, gentle watercolor washes, slightly imperfect hand-drawn edges. •Simplify the background while retaining the most recognizable environmental elements. •Use soft pastel tones, natural paper colors, subtle grain, and an elegant editorial/art-book feeling. •The illustration should feel like a premium travel/lifestyle postcard, not a cartoon or generic digital painting. •Maintain visual continuity between the photograph and illustration. LAYOUT & DESIGN •Vertical 3:4 composition. •Upper half = original photograph. •Lower half = warm off-white textured paper/canvas background. •Create a soft, seamless transition between the two sections. •Place the illustrated recreation centrally in the lower section with generous negative space around it. •Add a few subtle hand-drawn decorative elements such as tiny petals, leaves, hearts, or sketch marks only if they naturally fit the scene. •Minimal, elegant typography beneath or around the illustration. •Use a sophisticated handwritten/script font for the main title and a small minimalist serif/sans-serif font for the subtitle. •Keep typography understated and balanced. TEXT Replace the title and subtitle with context-appropriate wording, or use: “A Brighter Day” “A Slower Life” For pet/family images, use: “Good Friends” “Brighter Days” “Happier Tails ♡” IMPORTANT •Do not alter the identity or appearance of people or animals. •Do not add extra people, animals, buildings, structures, etc. ``` ## About A prompt for transforming an uploaded photo into a split-layout editorial poster featuring both the original photograph and a hand-drawn illustration version, created with GPT Image 2.
