Use a 2:3 canvas, ideally 1024x1536, divided by one straight horizontal line at exactly 50% height. Treat the upper and lower full-width halves as two 4:3 panels. Keep the split clean, level, and non-overlapping.
In the upper 4:3 panel, use the supplied photograph directly. Preserve people, animals, buildings, action, proportions, spatial relationships, natural light, original colors, and sharp photographic texture. Only use proportional smart crop to fit the panel. Never stretch, compress, blur, mirror, outpaint, repaint, recolor, or redesign the subject/background.
In the lower 4:3 panel, extract three to five most recognizable subjects, silhouettes, poses, and narrative relationships from the same photograph. Rebuild them as a lively, bright, young independent travel-magazine hand-drawn illustration. Remove irrelevant crowds, advertisements, clutter, and secondary objects, while keeping the source's story and visual correspondence.
Use fine, slightly irregular dark hand-drawn lines with opaque gouache and marker fills, plus restrained paper grain. Keep shapes simplified, crisp, and recognizable. Do not use oil-paint impasto, blurry brushwork, photoreal rendering, smooth vector polish, or a mechanical copy of every detail.
Derive the palette from the source: one bright but soft main field color, two or three supporting colors, and a small accent. Keep vivid colors softened by about ten percent while remaining fresh and clear. Avoid fluorescent, harsh, grey, washed-out, overly nostalgic, or mostly black treatment, and do not force every source into the same blue palette.
Integrate one complete handwritten English title of two to four words and one short English sentence directly into the colored illustration. Do not add a fixed white title bar. Keep every word fully visible and legible, with no extra text, watermark, logo, signature, border, UI, or unrelated decoration. Return one clean poster only.04 / Negative prompt
