Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Create a premium 4:5 vertical destination artwork for ${location} as part of a collectible WORLD DESTINATIONS visual series.

## Core visual style
Create one sophisticated mixed-media miniature artwork combining:
- Bold, hand-drawn 2D travel illustration
- Selected handmade plasticine or clay 3D elements
- Imperfect black ink-like contour lines
- Tactile handmade surfaces with subtle fingerprints
- Flat, saturated graphic colors
- Soft physical shadows beneath 3D elements
- Clean white or off-white negative space around the artwork
- Charming miniature-world scale
- A premium editorial travel-poster aesthetic

The result must read as one artwork made from illustration and handmade miniature materials.

Do not make it photorealistic or photographic. Avoid generic CGI, making everything clay, making everything flat illustration, or adding cartoon elements to a realistic travel photograph.

## Composition
Create one strong, self-contained miniature scene specifically designed around ${location}, not adapted from another destination. Choose one dominant composition concept appropriate to the location, such as an architectural portal, street, staircase, vehicle, train window, market, bridge, landscape opening, doorway, cave, plaza, rooftop, boat, or another location-specific structure.

Do not automatically use an arch, doorway, window, or portal. Do not reuse another destination's composition. Let the main composition occupy approximately 75–85% of the vertical artwork while retaining clean surrounding negative space.

## Destination details
Include one unmistakable hero landmark or landscape feature from ${location}, plus only 2–4 supporting visual cues that reinforce the place. Avoid tourist-collage compositions, showing every famous landmark, or generic travel-poster symbolism.

## Recurring traveler
Include one recurring miniature traveler with:
- A wide-brim tan travel hat
- A warm brown or orange backpack
- A simple cream shirt
- Blue or neutral trousers
- White sneakers
- Simplified handmade miniature proportions
- No visible detailed facial features

Keep this character visually consistent across destinations, but change the traveler's position and action to suit ${location}. The traveler may walk, sit, climb, photograph, explore, look upward, ride transport, rest, or interact with the environment. Make the traveler feel physically present inside the miniature scene.

## Mixed-media balance
Aim for approximately 70% illustrated 2D scenery and 30% tactile 3D miniature elements. Use 3D selectively for the traveler, foreground architecture, plants, objects, local craft or materials, and one or two destination-specific props. Keep distant scenery primarily flat illustrated artwork, with a deliberate visual transition between 2D and 3D.

## Style and color
Make the artwork handcrafted, playful, sophisticated, collectible, tactile, editorial, and highly recognizable. Use slightly imperfect outlines, subtle handmade asymmetry, realistic clay or plasticine texture on 3D elements, restrained soft shadows, and simplified graphic scenery.

Create a unique palette inspired by ${location}. Make it bright, harmonious, and graphic, distinct from palettes used for other destinations. Do not default to blue-and-white Mediterranean colors.

## Visual hierarchy
Prioritize one hero destination feature, one traveler, one strong foreground element, 2–4 supporting details, and generous visual breathing room. Avoid visual clutter.

## Series consistency
The artwork should belong to the same world as other destination artworks made with this prompt without looking like a copy. Keep the illustration language, clay/2D relationship, traveler character, handmade texture, black contour language, miniature scale, and white negative space consistent.

Vary the composition, framing device, viewpoint, traveler action, destination palette, foreground materials, landmark, and environmental storytelling. The result should communicate: “Same artist, same universe, completely different destination.”
