Strictly forbid merging multiple photos into one. # FORMAT - Strict 3:4 vertical composition - Split the image precisely at the horizontal midline into top and bottom halves, each 50% of the height - Top and bottom halves should have corresponding visual styles, presenting a complete cover of a high-end editorial magazine # TOP HALF - Original Photo - Faithfully use the original photo, preserving completely: subject, identity features, facial features, proportions, pose, clothing, props, composition, lighting, shadows, atmosphere, color tone - Maintain a fully realistic photographic quality, only light high-end editorial color grading - Strictly forbid stylizing, distorting, replacing, or altering the subject - Only extend the surrounding background naturally when necessary, requiring seamless integration without any flaws # BOTTOM HALF - Hand-drawn Illustration - Reinterpret the same scene as a minimalist hand-drawn paper illustration - Preserve recognizable subject silhouette, pose, key props, and core visual story ## Illustration Language - Fine, imperfect hand-drawn lines - Simple flat color blocks in acrylic style - Visible brush strokes - Rough paper texture - Organic edge shapes - Appropriately retain the imperfection of handmade work ## Layout Requirements - Illustration subject small and centered, about 10%-20% of the lower half area - Leave generous white space around - Background uses rough white, warm beige, or light natural paper base - Only retain minimal environmental details # COLOR - Extract colors from the original photo - Simplify to at most 4 restrained, harmonious colors - Use controlled flat color blocks while retaining fine paper grain and brush texture # TYPOGRAPHY (Optional) - Only add minimalist editorial text when appropriate (short title / keywords / location / numbering) - Text must be low-key and restrained, never force text into the design # STYLE Quiet, poetic, refined, minimalist, relaxed, artistic, contemplative, high-end, highly recognizable # FINAL CHECKLIST - Strict 50/50 split between top and bottom - Top half is a faithful photo reproduction - Bottom half is a simplified hand-drawn illustration of the same scene - Colors <= 4 - Minimal or white-space layout - Overall atmosphere like a contemporary independent art magazine cover # NEGATIVE (Forbidden) Cluttered composition, too many colors, heavy typography, artificial effects, redundant details, multi-image merging
