Prompt template

Convert the attached photo into a poster featuring a brush-drawn illustration. The subject may be any food, product, landscape, animal, person, or object shown in the photo.

Use a vertical ${aspect-ratio:3:4} composition. Create a digital-wasteland, brush-drawing effect with visible brush marks, uneven edges, and slightly stretched coloration. Interpret the image as a flat illustration made of a simple arrangement of shapes, not a realistic rendering. Keep the finish hand-painted and unpolished. Use no gradients, shadows, or 3D textures. Draw a thin, uneven outline that is slightly distinct from the coloring area.

Use a cream-colored, not-quite-white paper background. Limit the palette to 3–4 colors sampled from the photo: one dark main color, one bright main color, and 1–2 additional colors. Slightly reduce saturation for a vintage tone.

Make the subject large and centered, occupying about 50–55% of the canvas. Leave generous space above, below, and on both sides. At the top, add 1–2 very large, widely spaced English words in capital letters, rendered with a brush. The lettering may overlap the illustration or shift to the right or below it. Choose words inspired by the photo’s atmosphere, season, time, or emotions; do not use the subject’s literal title.

At the bottom right, add this short English phrase: ${phrase}. Keep it to 3–5 words, hand-lettered and highlighted with a dotted color. Make it feel light and casual, not overly serious or cryptic.

Do not use realistic rendering, 3D effects, shadows, reflections, logos, watermarks, or a border frame. Do not enlarge the subject several times over.
