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

Create a scroll-stopping 4:5 vertical (1080×1350 px) modernist editorial travel collage for ${location}. Generate the entire artwork creatively from the location alone; do not require a reference image.

CORE CONCEPT
Translate the location’s visual identity into bold graphic fragments rather than a realistic scene. Make the concept instantly readable at thumbnail size, with one clear focal point and one clear story. Mood: ${mood}.

FIGURES
Include ${figure-count} figure(s). ${figure-specifications}
Render figures as ${figure-rendering}. Represent them respectfully and naturally, without caricature.

ANIMAL
Include ${animal}, smaller than the figure(s) and placed near them. If an animal is included, show it ${animal-action}.

COMPOSITION
Place the figure(s) slightly off-center, together occupying roughly one-third of the composition. If there are two figures, group them as one unified shape, with one slightly larger or overlapping the other. Reduce the surrounding environment to a few symbolic flat shapes with no realistic depth.

Build the layout from bold matte-black rectangles, one dominant destination-inspired geometric shape (${dominant-shape}), horizontal bars, thin rules, cropped blocks, and small circles. Let selected elements overlap, crop, or partially mask the figures, animal, and scenery.

INSTAGRAM SAFE ZONES
- Keep all key elements, including faces, the focal subject, and main motifs, inside the central 80% of the canvas, with a comfortable margin on all sides.
- Keep the main subject and dominant shape within the central 3:4 area so the image still works when cropped in the profile grid.
- Leave a clean, calmer strip near the bottom for an optional caption or text overlay.

SCENERY AND FORM
Simplify the location into 2–4 instantly recognizable motifs: ${location-motifs}. Use clean cutout silhouettes and flat graphic fragments, with large simple shapes and minimal fine detail so everything stays legible on a phone screen.

STYLE
Use warm cream paper as an active background with generous negative space. Add crisp cut edges, dry ink texture, subtle print grain, and slight paper wear. Use controlled asymmetry and strong visual hierarchy. Create high contrast between black shapes, cream paper, and accent colors so the image stands out in a busy feed.

PALETTE
Use matte black, warm cream, dominant color ${color-1}, contrasting accent ${color-2}, and muted supporting tone ${color-3}. Keep colors flat, sufficiently saturated to stand out on mobile, and restrained.

TEXT
${text-instruction}. If including a micro-mark, set it in a clean, bold sans-serif, large and legible on mobile, at ${text-position}. Include no other text.

FINAL AESTHETIC
Modernist editorial collage × contemporary travel graphic × cut-paper abstraction × restrained surrealism × strong geometric hierarchy × sophisticated negative space. Make it feel intelligent, tactile, and collectible, with a strong graphic rhythm that stops scrolling.

AVOID
Photorealism, gradients, 3D rendering, glossy surfaces, excessive detail, clutter, generic icons, symmetrical layouts, logos, watermarks, and tiny text.

FORMAT
One unified composition, 4:5 vertical, 1080×1350 px.
