For each uploaded photo, create one separate, high-end design poster. Do not combine multiple photos into a collage; output one poster per photo.

Use a 3:4 portrait layout divided into two regions of exactly equal height, each occupying 50% of the canvas.

In the upper half, preserve the original photo, including its subject’s structure, realistic texture, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere. Apply only subtle, refined photographic color grading, giving it the feel of an art magazine, independent publication, or exhibition photography. To fit the format, you may naturally extend the sky, ground, or surrounding background, but do not stretch, distort, or alter the subject.

In the lower half, identify the photo’s most recognizable subject, silhouette, pose, and narrative relationships, then reconstruct them using isometric spatial logic. Do not simply turn the original object into a 3D model. Instead, break the subject into clear volumes, layers, planes, and spatial relationships, then recombine them along a consistent isometric axis. Aim for the structural order of an architectural model and the visual concision of an editorial illustration. You may adjust the viewing angle, proportions, or local structure as needed to show the subject’s most representative form, but preserve the distinctive features that make it immediately recognizable.

Also derive a thematic visual metaphor from the photo’s central content, action, structure, or symbolic relationships. Geometrize and stylize this motif, integrating it into the isometric composition. It may become a base, plane, spatial void, path, enclosing structure, or use of negative space. Make the subject intersect, interlock with, float within, pass through, rest upon, or overlap the motif. The motif must shape how the subject exists in the space, rather than serve as an added decoration.

Adapt the composition to the subject’s visual center of gravity, silhouette, and spatial characteristics. Establish professional visual order through isometric axes, volume proportions, layered offsets, scale contrasts, selective cropping, and generous negative space. The subject need not be mechanically centered: it may be offset, suspended, or extended. Let the isometric structure and thematic motif work together to create a single visual focal point.

Render the subject in a bright, clear, soft Japanese-inspired palette with a delicate matte finish. Draw colors from the liveliest tones in the upper photo that best express the subject’s character, then refine them. Use soft white, cream, or an extremely pale warm tone as the base, translating the key colors into clean, luminous, gentle color planes. Distinguish volumes with tonal variations of the same colors and a few accent colors. Keep the lighting soft but legible, using subtle light and shade to clarify the structure. Avoid heavy 3D shadows, plastic-looking materials, and muddy, gray tones.

Keep the background spacious and mostly empty. Add faint traces of creative research in the manner of Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks: subject-related contour sketches, structural breakdowns, detail enlargements, proportion and measurement lines, arrows, geometric studies, observational nature sketches, and tiny annotations. Distribute these lightly around the subject, with the barely visible quality of pencil, ochre ink, or a faded manuscript. Let them feel like traces of the design process, contrasting thoughtful, expressive research with the precise isometric subject. They must not form a second focal point.

Organize the typography around the theme and spatial structure. Derive a short title from the photo’s subject identity, action, emotion, or symbolic meaning, and pair it with only a few location or status words, or tiny annotations. Arrange the text along an isometric axis, the boundary of the thematic motif, a structural plane, or a manuscript guide line. It may be horizontal, vertical, offset, interwoven, or concealed in negative space. Make the typography feel like an information layer in a design drawing or refined art publication, not a title pasted on afterward.

The overall visual character should combine thematic metaphor, isometric spatial order, Leonardo-style research sketches, clear Japanese-inspired color, Eastern restraint in the use of space, and sophisticated editorial design. Whether the subject is a person, animal, plant, building, object, food, vehicle, or natural landscape, find an isometric reconstruction suited to its own structure. Avoid generic 3D models, video-game environments, engineering-axonometric drawing, cartoon low-poly styling, mechanical centering, e-commerce display aesthetics, and templated results.
