Travel Pop-Up City Book Poster Prompt

Please convert each travel photo I upload into an independent **TRAVEL POP-UP CITY BOOK|旅行城市立体书** premium travel photo illustration poster. Each photo output separately, no multi-photo collage. Overall use 3:4 vertical composition, composed of two areas: "real original photo" and "physical pop-up book illustration". Default top and bottom each occupy about 50%, use straight, clear horizontal boundary to separate, no feathering, no blending, and do not let paper art structure cross the boundary line. ## Top: Real Original Photo Top faithfully uses the original photo. Accurately preserve in the photo: - Location identity and core architecture - River, canal, road, or square direction - Bridges, towers, domes, and main building silhouettes - Left-right order and front-back occlusion between buildings - Position and direction of boats, vehicles, and few people - Terrain elevation, viewing angle, and spatial depth - Real materials, natural light and shadow, and original color atmosphere Top must clearly appear as a real photograph, not a re-generated realistic illustration. Only make subtle and restrained travel magazine, art publication, and photography exhibition color grading, and add a very thin, almost imperceptible film grain. To fit vertical frame, may naturally crop or extend sky, water, road, and surrounding environment, but must not stretch, warp, mirror, move, replace, or redesign buildings, bridges, boats, or people. ## Bottom: Physical hardcover pop-up book Bottom uses a clean warm white background. Place a fully opened, flat-laid collector-grade hardcover pop-up book in the center of the background. The pop-up book typically occupies 65%-85% of the width of the illustration area, with continuous clean whitespace around it. Use a slightly frontal perspective so the viewer can see simultaneously: - Hardcover cover - Central spine and binding groove - Left and right pages - Stacked page edges - Cover wrap - Paper thickness - Pop-up scene rising from the pages Cover color extracted from the deepest, most stable color of the original photo, e.g., deep blue, ink green, charcoal gray, ochre, or dark red. Book block uses warm ivory thick paper. Must make it look like a real physical pop-up book that can be closed, not a paper sculpture base, flat illustration, or architectural model. ## City extraction Select 3-8 elements from the original photo that best prove location identity, e.g.: - Core architecture or landmark - River, canal, road, or square - Distinctive towers, roofs, or domes - Bridges or arches - Waterfront buildings - Boats, vehicles, or small people - A set of building layers that establish foreground-background relationships Maintain left-right order, building heights, traffic direction, front-back occlusion, and observation angle from the original photo. Actively remove: - Dense windows - Repeated roofs - Complex signage - Large crowds - Fine vegetation - Small water ripples - Unrelated street furniture - Architectural details that do not help identify location Do not add landmarks, people's clothing, cultural symbols, or a second city that do not exist in the photo to make the pop-up book richer. ## Pop-up book layering Organize the same location into a paper structure with clear foreground, midground, and background. ### Low layer page River, canal, road, square, or ground spreads along the central spine, becoming the low paper surface connecting left and right pages. Water can be represented by a continuous gray-blue, blue-green, or dark green printed paper, must cross the spine and continue the spatial direction of the original photo. ### Mid layer structure Main building groups, waterfront facades, bridges, trees, or street blocks rise from the mid-layer pages. Buildings do not need to replicate every window, only keep: - Main silhouette - Roof direction - Key openings - Facade proportions - A few representative windows - The most recognizable color of the location ### Back layer structure Towers, clock towers, domes, castles, mountains, or the tallest landmarks go in the back layer, becoming the tallest vertical structure of the whole pop-up book. High structures must have reasonable fold lines, support tabs, or connecting tongues, not floating models. ### Front layer structure Boats, vehicles, people, railings, or other scale references can be independent foreground tabs, rising from pages closer to the viewer. They must not form a second visual center, but need to help establish location scale and spatial depth. ## Paper mechanics Clearly show realistic, believable paper construction: - mountain folds - valley folds - scored fold lines - die-cut edges - paper slots - insertion tabs - connecting tongues - hidden support pieces - triangular rear braces - layered cardstock - central page hinge - visible page thickness - exposed paper fibers - matte printed ink - slight handmade registration errors Bridges can span left and right pages, supported by building paper layers or hidden support pieces on both sides. Towers can rise using central vertical folds, slots, and rear triangular braces. Boats, vehicles, and people can use independent small tabs connected to the page. There should be clear front-back layering and contact shadows between buildings, but shadows must be subtle, realistic, and consistent with paper thickness. Do not use impossible floating structures that cannot be folded or closed. ## Color Completely extract colors from the original photo, and compress, soften complex colors into a limited printed paper palette. Prioritize preserving: - Building and landmark identity colors - Roof colors - Water colors - Vegetation colors - Stone neutral colors - One accent color from a boat, door, window, or vehicle Remaining colors use warm ivory, gray-blue, terracotta, olive green, warm brown, stone gray, and other adjacent tones to unify. All colors should appear as matte printed paper, dyed cardstock, or slightly aged ink, not plastic, resin, or glossy 3D materials. Avoid high saturation and children's toy colors, neon colors, and fixed palettes unrelated to the photo. ## Small text system Add a small amount of English small text on blank page edges related to the location structure. Each page typically includes: 1. A 1-3 word English structural title 2. A line of location and series number 3. A 6-14 word English observation sentence For example: `CANAL FOLD` `VENICE POP-UP STUDY 01` `The water becomes the hinge between two rows of walls.` Or: `RIALTO ARCH` `VENICE POP-UP STUDY 02` `The bridge rises while the gondola slips below.` Titles should describe spatial structures that actually exist in the photo, e.g.: - `CANAL FOLD` - `BRIDGE LAYER` - `LAGOON AXIS` - `TOWER RISE` - `WATERFRONT PAGE` - `CITY HINGE` When location is reliable, write: `VENICE POP-UP STUDY 01` When location cannot be reliably confirmed, use: `CITY POP-UP STUDY 01` Observation sentences only describe buildings, water, boats, roads, directions, or spatial relationships that actually exist in the photo, do not invent people, dates, coordinates, or building names. Text must look like a native part of the pop-up book: - Small serif, narrow sans-serif, or plain typewriter - Stone gray, deep blue-gray, or cover-matching ink - Slight embossing, debossing, letterpress, or paper-absorbed ink effect - Arranged along page edges, spine, or low water axis - Clearly readable, but not as large headings Text total area does not exceed 5% of the page area. Add at most one page number, one short horizontal line, or one tiny binding note. Do not add author name, account, signature, logo, QR code, URL, invented brand, or nonsense text. ## Overall mood The final image looks like a travel chapter in a collector-grade architectural paper art book: Real photo records the city as it was, the open book refolds the canal, road, bridge, and architecture into a space that can be preserved. High-end, quiet, precise, gentle, with the quality of an architecture firm publication, art book exhibition, independent travel magazine, and paper art collection. ## Forced avoidance Avoid: missing original-photo comparison, multiple-photo collage, flat illustration printed on open pages, ordinary paper collage, single-layer paper silhouette, origami terrain, paper-clay model, plastic 3D, resin miniature, realistic architectural model, children's toy book, invented landmark, mixed cities, different location on each page, incorrect building order, missing central spine, missing page edges, missing fold lines, impossible floating structure, book filling the entire lower field, no surrounding negative space, desk props, hands, bookshelf, room mockup, large typography, fake place names, author name, signature, logo, QR code, watermark, nonsense text.
