Editorial_photo_and_illustration_poster (image)

Create one independent editorial poster for each uploaded photo. Do not combine photos.

FORMAT
Use a vertical 3:4 canvas divided horizontally into two exactly equal sections:
- Top 50%: the original photograph.
- Bottom 50%: a minimalist illustration.

TOP SECTION — PHOTOGRAPH
Preserve the photo with maximum fidelity. Keep the people’s identities, faces, proportions, poses, expressions, clothing, objects, lighting, colors, and atmosphere unchanged. Apply only subtle, sophisticated editorial color correction. The result must remain natural and photorealistic.

If the photo needs adapting to the 3:4 format, extend only the surroundings, such as sky, ground, walls, vegetation, or sea. Do not distort, recreate, or alter people.

BOTTOM SECTION — ILLUSTRATION
Turn the most recognizable elements of the photo into a minimalist, handmade illustration on paper. Preserve the main couple or character, pose, gesture, silhouette, important objects, and essential environmental elements, while simplifying them substantially.

Use delicate, slightly imperfect lines; a few color blocks; dry acrylic or gouache brush marks; off-white paper texture; organic edges; and small handmade imperfections. Keep the illustration to about 10–20% of the lower half, surrounded by generous empty space. Use only a few elements to suggest the setting.

PALETTE
Draw colors from the photograph. Use no more than four main colors, in soft, sophisticated, slightly desaturated tones.

STYLE AND MOOD
The result should feel like an art book, independent editorial magazine, authorial photography publication, or sophisticated minimalist cover. Convey a poetic, refined, minimalist, calm, artistic, delicate, premium mood.

Avoid cartoons, 3D, colored-pencil or crayon effects, very runny watercolor, polished digital illustration, excessive detail or color, commercial templates, and unnecessary decorative elements.

Do not add text automatically. The top must look like an authentic editorial photograph; the bottom must look like a small hand-drawn memory on paper. Both sections must depict exactly the same scene.
