FORMAT. 3:4 vertical travel poster - handmade risograph screenprint and cut-paper collage, scanned from physical paper. PRINT. Warm cream fiber paper (#F1E7D6), visible paper tooth and one subtle fold crease. Paper is the lightest value; no white ink. Use three plates only: black, pale sea teal, and coral. Plate overlaps create the only additional hues. Keep black coverage under 35%. TYPE. [landmark_name], ultra-condensed heavy grotesque uppercase lettering, arranged in two stacked lines bleeding slightly past both side edges and filling approximately 65% of the frame height. The second line is wider than the first. Black lettering with a 3mm coral misregistration ghost. FIGURE. Young adult woman, early twenties, wind-lifted hair, standing in the defining pedestrian/public area of the destination. Three-quarter view, turned back over her shoulder, with one hand holding her hair away from her face. She stands in front of the typography and partially covers it — letterforms are cut off at the figure, while the top third of every letter remains clear. Skin rendered as dense black halftone photo-transfer with varying dot density and visible paper showing through the highlights. Hand-cut paper silhouette with a 4mm bare-paper margin and a thin teal offset outline. COLLAGE FILLS. Clothing and accessories use glued-paper textures with torn edges. Jacket or windbreaker: coral cross-hatch weave. Trousers: pale teal cloud-print. Add a distinctive local visual fragment behind her shoulder, plus a torn kraft-paper scrap attached to or near the bag. EYE BAND. Flat semi-opaque coral rectangle across her eyes, slightly wider than her face. Eyes remain visible underneath as dark halftone. Edges should be slightly imperfect and physically printed. BACKGROUND. One instantly recognizable architectural or structural landmark placed left of centre. Signature lines, cables, streets, coastlines, or structural elements fan outward toward both edges as thin black lines. The destination's recognizable background environment appears far behind in flat teal halftone. Foreground surfaces, paths, streets, steps, or architectural lines converge naturally across the bottom. ACCENTS. Add a coral drybrush band low on the horizon and a teal diagonal band in the upper-left area. Include small destination-specific environmental silhouettes in the upper-right and lower-left corners. Mid-right on the coral band, place two lines of small lowercase marker handwriting: "[SHORT TRAVEL NOTE LINE 1] / [SHORT TRAVEL NOTE LINE 2]". SURFACE. Ink visibly sinking into paper fibre, authentic plate misregistration, physically cut paper edges, faint scan noise, matte printed finish, subtle handmade imperfections. Maintain an even 8% margin on all four sides. AVOID. Photorealistic skin, glossy or vector-smooth finish, 3D shading, painterly rendering, neon glow, gradients. No signature, watermark, or edition number. No extra peo
