REFERENCE IMAGE LOCK - ABSOLUTE PRIORITY: Use the uploaded reference image as the primary and strict visual reference for the person's identity, appearance and overall poster composition. Recreate the visual structure as closely as possible while adapting the poster's cultural and cinematic details to the country and regional identity represented by the uploaded reference image. RESOLUTION LOCK: Generate the final image in 16K resolution - 15360 Γ— 8640 pixels (β‰ˆ132.7 million pixels), 16:9 aspect ratio. Preserve maximum possible detail, sharpness, texture, fine edges, realistic skin and material details, with no cropping, stretching, compression, pixelation, or loss of quality. Maintain the exact composition and framing of the reference image while rendering at true 16K quality. REFERENCE IMAGE = PERSON + IDENTITY + CULTURAL CONTEXT Use the person shown in the uploaded reference image as the exact main subject. Preserve their facial identity, facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairstyle, age, body proportions and recognizable characteristics. Do not change the person's gender, ethnicity, nationality or recognizable identity. COUNTRY / CULTURAL ADAPTATION LOCK: Automatically determine the subject's country, regional culture, fashion tradition, cinematic heritage and visual context from the uploaded reference image. The final poster must feel authentically connected to that person's country and culture. If the reference represents Pakistan, create a Pakistani-inspired vintage cinema poster using authentic Pakistani fashion, architecture, colors, typography influences, cultural motifs and classic Pakistani film-poster aesthetics. If the reference represents India, use authentic Indian regional fashion, cinematic styling, architecture, decorative motifs, typography influences and vintage Bollywood/regional cinema aesthetics appropriate to the subject. If the reference represents Japan, use authentic Japanese fashion, typography influences, graphic design, architecture, cultural motifs and vintage Japanese cinema aesthetics. If the reference represents Korea, use authentic Korean fashion, typography, architecture, color palette and classic Korean cinema/editorial aesthetics. If the reference represents Turkey, use Turkish fashion, architecture, cultural motifs, typography influences and vintage Turkish cinema aesthetics. If the reference represents France, Italy, UK, USA or another country, adapt the poster naturally to that country's fashion, cinema history, architecture, graphic design, typography, cultural motifs and visual language. Do not force one country's aesthetic onto another country. The cultural styling must be determined by the uploaded reference. POSTER STRUCTURE LOCK Create a high-end vintage retro cinema magazine / movie-poster cover based on the uploaded reference image. Preserve the reference's overall structure: Large bold cinematic title typography Secondary headline / promotional text Decorative geometric shapes Vintage color blocks Film-strip graphics Small editorial bullet points Side promotional text Large central portrait of the subject Distressed paper texture Retro printing imperfections Slightly faded analog colors Authentic mid-century / retro cinema-poster appearance Keep the same visual hierarchy and overall composition as the reference, but intelligently replace the textual and cultural elements with content appropriate to the subject's country. MAIN PORTRAIT The uploaded person is the hero of the poster. Create a cinematic vintage portrait that preserves their exact identity while naturally adapting their styling to their cultural/country context. The subject should wear an authentic fashion style appropriate to their country, era and cinematic culture, rather than automatically wearing the clothing from the reference poster. If the person is wearing traditional or culturally recognizable clothing in the reference, preserve and enhance those characteristics naturally. If the reference depicts modern fashion, reinterpret it into an appropriate retro cinematic fashion version without losing the person's identity. Preserve natural facial proportions, realistic skin texture, realistic hair and authentic human anatomy. VINTAGE CINEMA AESTHETIC Make the final poster look like an authentic old printed cinema magazine / film promotional poster, not a modern digital graphic. Use: aged paper texture, subtle scratches, faded ink, halftone printing, analog grain, imperfect registration, slightly distressed edges, vintage color separation, soft contrast, muted retro colors, subtle film wear and authentic printed texture. The image should feel like a genuine collectible vintage poster from the country's own cinematic history. COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DESIGN Adapt the following automatically according to the uploaded person's country: Fashion β†’ culturally appropriate clothing and styling Architecture β†’ recognizable regional architectural influence Typography β†’ country-appropriate retro typography Color palette β†’ culturally and historically appropriate colors Decorative motifs β†’ authentic regional graphic elements Cinema style β†’ appropriate classic film-poster aesthetic Editorial language β†’ naturally inspired by the country's film/fashion culture Background imagery β†’ culturally relevant environment or cinematic imagery Keep these elements subtle and believable. Avoid stereotypes, clichΓ©s or random cultural symbols. TEXT / TYPOGRAPHY Replace the example poster's text with original fictional movie/editorial text appropriate to the person's country and cinematic context. Use typography that looks authentic to that country's vintage cinema posters. Maintain the same approximate text placement, scale, hierarchy and graphic balance as the reference. All generated text must be clean, intentional, correctly spelled and readable. Do not copy unrelated real movie titles, logos or copyrighted branding. COMPOSITION & CAMERA Preserve the reference's portrait orientation, subject scale, camera perspective, crop, framing and visual hierarchy. The subject remains the dominant central visual element. Maintain the same balance between portrait, typography, decorative graphics and background imagery. PHOTOREALISM Ultra-photorealistic cinematic portrait photography integrated into a vintage printed poster, realistic skin texture, natural pores, individual hair strands, realistic fabric, physically accurate lighting, natural facial details, authentic photographic depth and believable analog film rendering. RESOLUTION LOCK Generate the final image in 16K resolution - 15360 Γ— 8640 pixels (β‰ˆ132.7 million pixels), 16:9 aspect ratio. Preserve maximum possible detail, sharpness, texture, fine edges, realistic skin and material details, with no cropping, stretching, compression, pixelation or loss of quality. Maintain the exact composition and framing of the reference image. MASTER REFERENCE RULE Reference Image controls WHO the person is. Reference Image also determines the cultural/country context. The reference poster controls HOW the final poster is structured and designed. Adapt the fashion, typography, cultural elements, architecture, colors and cinematic language according to the person's country while maintaining the recognizable structure and visual impact of the reference poster. The final result must look like that person's own country's authentic vintage cinema poster, not like a generic international poster. NEGATIVE PROMPT: generic cultural styling, wrong country aesthetic, stereotypical cultural elements, incorrect ethnicity, changed identity, different person, changed gender, altered facial features, Western styling forced onto non-Western subject, random traditional clothing, inaccurate architecture, random symbols, modern UI, modern graphic design, clean digital appearance, CGI, 3D render, cartoon, anime, plastic skin, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, malformed hands, unreadable text, misspelled text, random logos, watermark, low resolution, blurry face, oversaturated colors, excessive digital sharpening.
