Editorial_poster (image)

Create one independent high-end editorial poster for each uploaded photo. Process every photo separately; do not combine multiple photos into a collage.

## Format
- Use a strict 3:4 vertical composition.
- Divide the canvas horizontally into two exactly equal sections: the top half is 50% of the canvas height, and the bottom half is 50%.
- Make both sections feel visually connected as one refined art-publication cover.

## Top half: original photograph
Preserve the original photo as faithfully as possible. Keep its main composition, subjects and identities, facial features, body proportions, poses, expressions, clothing, objects, and spatial relationships unchanged. Preserve realistic photographic texture, natural lighting, shadows, atmosphere, and the original color mood. Apply only subtle, sophisticated editorial color grading, like a premium magazine photograph, contemporary art book, or high-end independent publication. Keep the image photorealistic and authentic, never overly retouched or artificially stylized.

If needed to fit the 3:4 composition naturally, extend the sky, ground, walls, or surrounding environmental background. Make any extension seamless and photographic. Never stretch, distort, reshape, replace, or otherwise alter the main subject.

## Bottom half: minimalist hand-drawn paper illustration
Extract the most recognizable visual elements from the photo and reinterpret them as a minimalist, hand-drawn paper-cover illustration. Preserve the recognizable subject, essential silhouette and proportions, key pose or gesture, important objects, and the core narrative relationship between people and objects. Simplify heavily: remove unnecessary detail and retain only what is needed for immediate recognition.

Use delicate, slightly imperfect hand-drawn lines; a small number of bold, clearly defined acrylic-style flat color shapes; rough paper texture; visible handmade brush marks; organic, slightly irregular edges; and subtle imperfections that make the illustration feel genuinely handmade. Keep the main illustrated subject small, centered, and carefully composed, occupying approximately 10–20% of the bottom half. Leave abundant negative space around it.

Use a background resembling rough white, warm off-white, or pale natural paper, or minimal editorial book-cover stock. Suggest the surrounding environment with only a few lines or small color shapes.

## Color palette
Extract dominant colors from the original photo and reduce them to no more than four main colors. Keep the palette restrained, sophisticated, and harmonious. Use bold but controlled flat color blocks, avoid excessive color variation, and preserve subtle paper grain and handmade brush texture. The illustration should feel like a simplified color interpretation of the photo.

## Typography
A small amount of simple typography may be included when appropriate, such as a short title, keyword, object name, location, year, number, or short phrase. Keep it minimal, understated, and editorial. Let it interact naturally with the negative space and small illustration, evoking art-book covers, independent publishing, contemporary editorial design, or thoughtful children's picture books. Do not force text into the composition if it does not naturally fit the photo.

## Visual direction
The finished poster should feel quiet, poetic, refined, minimal, innocent, relaxed, artistic, thoughtful, highly recognizable, and premium.
