Create a premium 4:5 vertical handcrafted travel poster for [LOCATION], following the established “Cities Made by Hand” visual style. Automatically interpret the location through its most iconic architecture, landscape, streetscape, culture, transportation, vegetation, and atmosphere, creating one cohesive cinematic scene rather than a landmark collage. TYPOGRAPHY: Large expressive black hand-painted CITY NAME at the top, small widely tracked COUNTRY NAME beneath, and a short poetic tagline specific to [LOCATION] at the bottom. Keep this hierarchy consistent across the series. PAPER WORLD: Build the city as a sophisticated handcrafted miniature using layered paper, visible grain, cut-paper depth, deckled edges, restrained watercolor, fine black architectural ink lines, physical micro-shadows, and subtle handmade imperfections. Premium editorial craftsmanship - not children's papercraft or CGI. CLAY ICON: Feature the most recognizable local mode of transport as a hand-sculpted clay miniature. Give it tactile surfaces, subtle fingerprints, slight asymmetry, soft handmade edges, realistic contact shadows, and a distinctive color accent. This is the recurring collectible signature of the series. HUMAN STORY: Include 1–2 naturally styled, expressive human figures interacting with the environment. Keep them realistic and not clay. COMPOSITION: Top - typography. Midground - iconic local landmark or landscape anchor. Sides - layered architecture and streetscape. Foreground - tactile street, path, square, or waterfront. One side - human story. Opposite side - clay transport icon. Add one authentic local foreground object. Use authentic location-specific details and a restrained natural palette. Maintain the permanent hierarchy: PAPER WORLD → CLAY ICON → HUMAN STORY The result must feel premium, collectible, cinematic, tactile, editorial, handcrafted, and globally consistent with the New York, London, Mumbai, and Cape Town posters, while allowing [LOCATION] to define its own architecture, colors, climate, culture, and atmosphere. Avoid: generic tourist clichĂ©s, AI gloss, photorealistic CGI, clutter, plastic-looking paper, or inconsistent materials.
