Turn the single travel photo I upload into one keepsake poster with a sticker sheet beside it. Choose a photo with enough distinct visible elements to provide six different stickers; an empty beach may not offer enough to work with, while a street of painted houses, a harbor, or a palace garden may offer more.

Use these three uppercase keywords: ${keywords:MORNING • WALK • SLOW}

Create one vertical 3:4 image on a warm ivory paper background. Leave a thin paper margin on all four sides around the artwork. Split the frame into exactly two panels, an upper panel and a lower panel. The divider must be straight and run the full width of the frame.

UPPER PANEL (about 50% of the height)
Use the uploaded photo exactly as it is. This panel is the photograph. Do not redraw it, change its colors, add a filter, change the weather, or add or remove any object. Only resizing, cropping, and repositioning are allowed.

LOWER PANEL
Draw everything here from scratch. Do not paste any fragment of the photograph into this panel. Treat the uploaded photo as reference only.

LOWER PANEL, LEFT SIDE (66 to 68% of the width)
Create one large, near-square illustration with no frame, printed directly onto the paper. Pick the single most recognizable subject in the photo and preserve its silhouette, size, position, and main color. The same place should be immediately recognizable in both panels.

Turn sky, water, walls, road, sand, snow, fog, and grass into simple flat-color shapes. Group trees into masses, reduce buildings to geometric shapes, and render terrain as layered silhouettes. Use three or four large shapes and five or six medium ones. Keep small details to a minimum and leave generous empty space.

Below the illustration, leave one empty band of paper and place the three keywords there, centered on a single line and joined by middots. This band must sit directly beneath the left illustration, slightly raised from the bottom edge of the frame. Do not move it elsewhere.

No title, date, place name, caption, or sentences.

LOWER PANEL, RIGHT SIDE (30 to 32% of the width)
Include exactly six stickers—not five or seven. Each sticker must depict something actually present in the photo; do not invent objects. Choose them in this order: the main building or landform; a second architectural element; one natural object; one useful object; one small environmental element; and, if a person, animal, or vehicle is actually visible in the photo, one of those. If there is no person in the photo, do not make a person sticker. Do not invent a hiker, traveler, or figure seen from behind. Apply the same rule to animals and vehicles. If there is nothing suitable for the sixth slot, fill it with another element from the photo.

Vary the sticker sizes, space them unevenly, and arrange them as if they were cut out and stuck down by hand. Do not repeat a subject. Give every sticker a warm-white die-cut border and a faint paper shadow.

DRAWING STYLE FOR THE WHOLE LOWER PANEL
Use a gouache illustration, cut-paper collage, vintage risograph, mid-century Japanese travel-poster, silkscreen-print, picture-book style. All six stickers must look as if they belong to the same visual language on one page.

Keep the finish matte, with visible paper grain, rough print texture, ink bleeding very slightly into the paper, and edges minutely out of register, as if the plate shifted a hair. Do not smooth it into a polished digital look.

COLOR
Pull the colors directly from the photo and reduce them to five to eight color families. Use low saturation only: no neon, HDR, or glossy gradients. Keep large areas as calm, flat color.

PEOPLE
If there are people in the photo, draw them as simple, faceless silhouettes. Preserve posture only. Do not draw eyes, a nose, or a mouth.

TEXT (IMPORTANT)
The only text anywhere in the image is the three keywords. Use Latin letters only. Do not include Hangul, Chinese characters, kana, or Cyrillic anywhere in the image. Do not use another script just because of the language requested.

Include no numbers, and do not number the stickers. Even if the original photo contains shop signs, business names, street names, number plates, logos, or notice boards, erase all of them in the lower panel. Render those areas as flat color without lettering.

No signature, watermark, artist name, price tag, or QR code.

DO NOT USE
Anime style, cel shading, vector illustration, watercolor bleed, oil painting, glossy render, photo compositing, clip art, 3D, metallic texture, gradients, lens flare, hyperrealism, infographic style, cartoon style, or heavy detail.

OVERALL IMPRESSION
Quiet and tidy, like something to keep for years: a museum gift-shop print paired with a sheet of hand-picked stickers.

FAILURE CONDITIONS—REMAKE THE RESULT IF ANY APPLY
1. The photo in the upper panel has been redrawn, even slightly.
2. Any fragment of photographic pixels remains in the lower panel.
3. There are not exactly six stickers.
4. Two or more stickers depict the same subject.
5. A sticker depicts something absent from the photo, especially a person who was never there.
6. The image contains any text or number other than the three keywords.
7. The image contains Hangul, a Chinese character, or kana.
8. The keyword line is not centered in the paper band beneath the left illustration.
9. A face has been given eyes, a nose, or a mouth.
10. The panel divider is curved or does not run the full width of the frame.
