## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a colorful hand-drawn vintage travel poster collage for {city_name}, styled like an illustrated scrapbook page full of stickers, taped notes, tickets, landmarks, food, and street details.

Canvas: Vertical 3:4 poster with an aged beige paper background, worn edges, light stains, tape pieces, ink outlines, watercolor washes, and dense travel-journal composition.

Main layout: At the top center, write a huge bold brush-lettered title “{city_name}” in red-orange with white highlights and dark shadow, filling the upper third. Beneath it, add large black Chinese characters “纽约” with a red underline. Behind the title, paint a blue sky with fluffy clouds, small black birds, and a simple yellow sun in the upper right.

Central city scene: Show an energetic Manhattan skyline across the middle with recognizable skyscrapers including the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and One World Trade Center. Include the Brooklyn Bridge spanning the center. On the left foreground, place a large Statue of Liberty in green patina on its pedestal. In the lower middle, show a street perspective with tiny pedestrians, a yellow NYC taxi facing forward, and a subway train emerging from the lower left track labeled with line “7” and destination “New York.” Add a traffic light, ornate street lamp, green “WALL ST” sign, and black-and-white “ONE WAY” sign on the right. Add red-brick apartment buildings with fire escapes on the right edge.

Scrapbook notes and stickers: Include exactly 12 separate paper items around the city scene: 1) top-left yellow sticky note reading “CITY TRIP / EXPLORE / DISCOVER / TRAVEL” with a red heart, 2) left circular stamp reading “NEW YORK / NYC / NEW YORK,” 3) left torn checklist reading “MANHATTAN / BROOKLYN / QUEENS / THE BRONX / STATEN ISLAND” with a red heart and small flower, 4) lower-left map scrap with a red NYC location pin and “Central Park,” 5) purple note reading “ADVENTURE WAITS” with a star, 6) bottom-left subway ticket reading “SUBWAY RIDE” with route circles “A C E,” 7) teal circular sticker reading “CITY OF DREAMS,” 8) center-bottom welcome card reading “WELCOME TO New York / EXPLORE HISTORY, ENJOY THE JOURNEY!” with hearts and blue doodles, 9) top-right pink ticket reading “ADMIT ONE” with serial numbers, 10) top-right cream sticker reading “I ♥ NY,” 11) right blue note reading “DREAM PLAN GO!” with an arrow, 12) lower-right beige note reading “TRAVEL MORE WORRY LESS” with a heart.

Food details: In the bottom-right foreground, illustrate exactly 4 iconic food items: a steaming paper cup labeled “NYC COFFEE” with a heart, a sesame bagel with cream cheese labeled “NY BAGEL,” a paper plate with a pepperoni pizza slice, and a slice of strawberry cheesecake labeled “Cheesecake.” Add a small yellow sticky note near the food reading “GOOD FOOD GOOD MOOD” with a smiley face.

Visual style: Whimsical urban travel sketch, saturated watercolor and colored-pencil texture, black ink hatching, imperfect hand lettering, layered collage, playful tourist-map aesthetic, nostalgic postcard energy, very detailed but cohesive.

Constraints: Preserve all readable text as hand-drawn lettering, avoid photorealism, no empty background, no modern minimalist look, no watermark or logo. Use {accent_color} for the main title and heart motifs, and make the overall mood {poster_mood}.
