ASPECT RATIO: 4:5 - VERTICAL PORTRAIT
Create a premium vertical 4:5 layered papercut collage x VOX-style flat-vector illustration of [CITY], [COUNTRY].
Use a warm cream paper background, crisp layered cut-paper shapes, thick pure-white keylines, subtle short shadows, minimal matte paper grain, and a sophisticated low-saturation color palette. Premium editorial explainer aesthetic - playful, witty, elegant, and never childish.
TOP TITLE:
Place a clean centered title at the top:
[CITY]
[COUNTRY]
Use thin uppercase geometric sans-serif typography with wide tracking and deep ink navy. Add a thin horizontal rule underneath. No other text anywhere.
COMPOSITION:
Make the most iconic and recognizable landmark of [CITY] the dominant central hero, with a strong, clean silhouette and layered papercut construction.
Surround it with 4-6 additional authentic landmarks, architectural elements, cultural objects, and natural features that immediately identify [CITY]. Arrange them at different heights and depths rather than symmetrically.
Include recognizable local elements such as:
- One major architectural landmark
- 2-3 supporting landmarks
- A distinctive local natural or geographic feature
- Characteristic vegetation
- A recognizable street, bridge, waterfront, or public space
- Small everyday details that communicate the city's culture
FOREGROUND STORY:
Add 2-3 small faceless human figures naturally interacting with the environment - for example, walking, sitting, eating, sightseeing, cycling, shopping, or enjoying a local activity.
Keep figures small and secondary to the landmarks. Use simple geometric papercut shapes, no facial features, no fingers, no realistic clothing folds, and individual white keylines.
Add one or two subtle visual details or deadpan humorous elements that feel authentic to the destination without becoming cartoonish.
STYLE:
Every landmark, person, tree, vehicle, and object should appear as a physically separate layered paper cutout with a thick clean PURE-WHITE external keyline.
Use flat color fields, crisp edges, subtle short hard-edged shadows, and clear layered depth. No gradients.
Use a restrained palette inspired by the destination, keeping colors sophisticated, muted, and cohesive. Allow one small accent color for visual interest.
The image should feel like a premium modern editorial travel illustration - highly recognizable, visually rich, witty, sophisticated, and handcrafted.
IMPORTANT:
Prioritize recognizable silhouettes and strong composition over excessive detail. Keep enough negative space around major elements so the image does not feel crowded. Avoid excessive symmetry.
NO photorealism.
NO 3D render.
NO gradients.
NO realistic faces.
NO crowds.
NO excessive tiny details.
NO random landmarks.
NO fantasy architecture.
NO unnecessary text.
NO watermark.
