Travel_memory_postcard (image)

Use the uploaded reference photo to create a 3:4 vertical travel souvenir postcard in the style of “real photograph × quirky crayon memory illustration.” First understand the photo’s content and visual story, then generate the final artwork directly. Do not output explanations, analysis, or prompt text.

## Overall composition
Divide the 3:4 vertical composition horizontally into two equal sections, with the top and bottom exactly the same height. Make the sections feel naturally connected while clearly contrasting a real photographic moment with a hand-drawn memory of it.

## Top half: real photograph
Use the uploaded photo as the primary visual source. Preserve its original subjects, number of people or animals, identity, pose, body proportions, facial expressions, clothing, objects, spatial relationships, perspective, composition, and realistic photographic texture.

Preserve natural lighting, shadows, atmosphere, and environmental details as much as possible. Apply only subtle editorial color grading for a warm, refined, slightly nostalgic feeling.

If the image must be adapted to the 3:4 format, use natural cropping or seamlessly extend existing environmental edges such as sky, ground, walls, water, roads, or vegetation. Never stretch, mirror, duplicate, redesign, or alter the original subjects.

## Bottom half: quirky crayon memory illustration
Transform the visual memory of the photo into a simple horizontal hand-drawn illustration, rather than applying a full-photo-to-illustration filter. Extract 2–5 of the most recognizable and memorable elements from the photo and rearrange them into a clean, centered horizontal mini-scene. For people or animals, preserve their recognizable pose, silhouette, proportions, and key facial characteristics.

Remove complicated distant backgrounds, tiny textures, repetitive structures, realistic photographic shadows, and irrelevant clutter. Make the illustration feel like someone came home from a trip and redrew the scene from memory with crayons.

Use a warm ivory, cream, or off-white handmade-paper background with subtle fibers, grain, and a slightly vintage printed texture.

## Hand-drawn style
Make the illustration naive, relaxed, slightly clumsy, warm, and handmade—as if carefully drawn by someone with good taste using crayons and colored pencils, without trying to make it technically perfect.

Use crayon as the main medium, supported by colored-pencil details. Draw lines in dark gray, gray-brown, or soft black, with uneven thickness, slight trembling, occasional breaks, small overlaps, imperfect angles, and visible hand-drawn inaccuracies.

Use rough crayon grain, hand hatching, uneven color filling, layered strokes, slight color overflow, and areas where the paper texture naturally shows through. Even simple geometric objects should retain subtle handmade imperfections. Aim for the visual language of retro children’s picture books × independent magazine illustration × personal travel journal.

## Color
Extract 2–4 representative colors directly from the uploaded photo and use them as the main crayon colors. Keep the colors soft and slightly muted, but still clearly visible and lively. Do not make the illustration pale, gray, washed out, or lifeless. Preserve the most memorable color from the original photo so the illustration remains visually connected to the photograph.

## Text and typography
Include only two very short English handwritten phrases in the bottom half: one 1–4-word phrase above the illustration and one 2–6-word phrase below it. Derive the wording naturally from the actual content, atmosphere, or emotional tone of the photo. Do not use fixed phrases, generic inspirational quotes, advertising language, or artificial travel slogans.

Use dark gray or soft black handwritten lettering with slightly irregular spacing and imperfect strokes. If accurate English text cannot be generated, leave the text areas blank rather than creating incorrect or meaningless words.

## Overall feel
The top half represents the real moment; the bottom half represents the memory of that moment. Make the final image warm, healing, relaxed, nostalgic, handmade, slightly retro, collectible, and editorial, with the quiet charm of an independent lifestyle magazine. Cute but not cutesy; naive but not childish; simple but not cheap; premium but not overly polished.

## Strictly avoid
Do not change, replace, beautify, or redesign the original subjects. Do not add any person, animal, vehicle, building, plant, prop, decoration, or environmental element that does not exist in the original photo.

Do not use realistic watercolor, detailed watercolor painting, ultra-light pastel colors, washed-out colors, gray low-saturation colors, realistic pencil sketches, clean vector illustrations, anime, manga, chibi, stickers, commercial cartoon styles, oil painting, thick digital painting, digital gradients, 3D rendering, plastic textures, or overly polished digital artwork.

Do not add tape, pins, torn-paper edges, postage-stamp borders, color blocks, decorative frames, complex collage elements, location labels, dates, numbers, archive layouts, logos, watermarks, platform UI, play buttons, subtitles, or black borders.

Generate only the final image. Do not output explanations, analysis, prompt text, or any other written response.
