Split Photo and Paper-Cut Editorial Poster

Create a high-end, unique poster design for each photo I upload. Never combine multiple photos into one poster; each image must become an independent design.

Use a vertical 3:4 layout divided into two equal sections, with the upper and lower parts each occupying exactly 50% of the frame.

UPPER PART — ORIGINAL PHOTO

Preserve the original photo’s composition, main subject, realistic materials, natural lighting, shadows, and overall color atmosphere.

Apply only subtle, high-end color grading with the feel of an art magazine, independent publication, or exhibition photography.

If needed for composition, naturally extend the sky, ground, or surrounding environment, but never stretch, distort, or alter the main subject.

BOTTOM PART — PAPER CUT / PAPER SCULPTURE

Use the most recognizable elements from the original image:

* Main subject
* Silhouette / key lines
* Pose
* Relationships between important elements

Reinterpret them as a minimalist, multi-layered paper-cut artwork, paper sculpture, or paper collage.

Choose one core visual theme and reconstruct the subject through folding, cutting, overlapping, masking, and layered paper forms. Preserve the essential proportions, structure, and visual identity without mechanically copying every detail.

Translate selected spatial relationships from the original image into paper layers:

* Foreground
* Midground
* Background

Create hierarchy through scale differences, geometric axes, positive and negative shapes, front/back overlaps, and generous negative space.

The subject must remain immediately recognizable, while the overall design feels modern, restrained, elegant, and highly organized.

COLOR & PAPER MATERIAL

Derive the palette directly from the most distinctive colors in the original photo and reduce them into a limited, harmonious, sophisticated paper color system.

Use warm ivory or light-toned paper as the base, combined with:

* Main color from the image
* Dark structural tones
* Light accent layers
* A few restrained accent colors for depth

Use premium matte art paper with:

* Visible paper fibers
* Clean, sharp cut edges
* Soft tactile appearance
* Naturally diffused light
* Realistic thickness between layers
* Clear handmade craftsmanship

Avoid plastic-looking 3D effects, cheap cardboard, neon colors, and complex gradients.

TYPOGRAPHY — HIGH-END EDITORIAL SYSTEM

Build the typography as a refined micro-typographic editorial system.

Create a short, concise main title inspired by the photo’s subject, location, action, material, atmosphere, or symbolic meaning.

Add 2–4 very small supporting text groups, which may include:

* Subject name
* Location
* Number / serial number
* Chapter number
* Coordinate-like information
* Direction or location words
* Material terminology
* Categorization labels
* A very short poetic caption

Do not use years.

The main title should create identity and emotion, while the smaller text provides rhythm, order, and subtle editorial detail.

INTEGRATE TYPOGRAPHY WITH PAPER ART

Typography must be integrated directly into the paper-cut composition rather than simply placed over the image.

Align and interact text with:

* Paper-layer edges
* Subject contours
* Geometric axes
* Negative space

Possible treatments include:

* Horizontal or vertical text
* Rotated text
* Wide tracking
* Edge-aligned placement
* Corner embedding
* Text passing through color layers
* Text partially submerged behind paper layers
* Masking or interlacing text with the subject

The main title may be subtly adapted into a paper-cut or origami-inspired form, while the smaller typography remains thin, modern, minimal, and restrained.

Use contrast in scale, direction, spacing, and layering to create a natural visual flow.

The final result must feel like one unified visual system in which photography, paper sculpture, color, and typography are fully integrated.
