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

Create a single vertical poster in a 3:4 aspect ratio from the uploaded photo. Do not divide the poster into top and bottom panels or include an area that simply reproduces the original photo. The entire finished image must be one poster.

Fill the background with one color sampled from the photo. Use a muted, matte color field with only a very subtle paper texture. Remove the original background completely, including any street, trees, interior, or sky.

Keep the person exactly as they appear in the photo. Do not change or redraw their face, expression, hairstyle, clothing, or skin texture. Cut out only the person from the background and place them on the right half of the poster. Make the cutout's lower edge dissolve into bold halftone dots.

Choose one clearly recognizable object that the person is holding or that is beside them in the photo, such as a cup, camera, ice cream, bag, or board. Enlarge it to about one-half to three-quarters of the person's height and redraw it as a cartoon character standing beside them. Keep the object's original shape and colors recognizable. Give the character large white eyes with black pupils, a wide smiling mouth, white-gloved hands, bent black limbs like rubber hoses, and cream-colored shoes. Draw it in a 1930s rubber-hose animation style with bold ink outlines and halftone shading. Leave the original object in the person's hand exactly as it appears in the photo; the character stands separately beside the person.

Add only a few short, energetic ink marks around the character. Do not add speech bubbles.

At the upper left of the poster, set the title in bold, cream-colored, uppercase sans-serif letters: ${title:QUIET HOUR}. Use no more than two lines, with one word per line, and add only a very thin dark shadow to the letter edges.

Below the title, place one black rounded tag containing only the words PHOTO PLAY.

Below the tag, add one short English sentence inspired by the scene in the photo. Keep it to no more than ten words and break it across two lines.

Use only English uppercase and lowercase letters for the title, tag, and sentence. Do not include Hangul, Chinese characters, or Japanese kana. Do not put numbers in the background color field or inside the tag. Do not add signs or logos in the areas where the original background was removed. Preserve any text and numbers already present on the person's clothing or on the object in their hand exactly as they appear in the photo.

Keep all three text lines horizontal. Do not set them vertically or tilt them.

Parameters
