Field Note Rubber Stamp Poster
Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool. Treat every uploaded photograph as the edit source. Preserve its most memorable structure and relation as one small multicolor hand-printed stamp on a quiet field-note page.
Output contract
- Produce one independent raster poster for every uploaded photo. Never combine photos into a collage, contact sheet, comparison layout, diptych, or shared canvas.
- Use a 3:4 portrait canvas with one exact horizontal 50/50 division. Keep truthful photography in the upper half and the rubber-stamp field note in the lower half. Do not let either medium invade the other.
- Preserve immediate correspondence through the stamp's silhouette, posture, direction, spatial relation, and a few carved identity cues.
- Use one small stamp image, warm pale paper, two to four source-derived spot inks, one short English title, one
No.notation, and two or three keywords or a very short note. - Return every poster as a separate image. Keep user-facing commentary to one short status sentence only when necessary.
Preserve and lightly grade the upper photograph
Keep the source recognizably photographic. Preserve subject identity and count, anatomy or construction, proportions, emotion, pose, silhouette, direction, spatial relationships, real materials, natural light, and the original color atmosphere.
Apply only restrained travel-magazine, art-publication, or field-photography color correction plus very fine film grain. Keep grain subtle enough that material and identity remain truthful.
Crop or extend plausible sky, ground, wall, water, foliage, or environmental background for the 3:4 layout. Never stretch, warp, mirror, duplicate, materially relight, beautify, or redesign the subject.
Do not apply stamp texture, typography, borders, heavy vintage filters, scratches, color casts, or graphic overlays to the upper half.
Extract the memory worth stamping
Before prompting, privately identify:
- the one hero subject or inseparable relationship carrying recognition;
- its decisive silhouette, posture, direction, scale, openings, and structural rhythm;
- three to six source features that can survive carving and print reduction;
- the minimum environment contour, path, ground, companion, or spatial relation needed for story;
- the details to delete entirely;
- the upper photograph's two to four most recognizable and spirited colors;
- the best small placement, crop, and orientation for the stamp;
- one factual or thematic English title,
No.notation, and two or three field-note keywords.
Do not reproduce the whole photograph. Do not expose this analysis or repeat the user's design brief.
Reduce the source to a carved stamp matrix
Translate the hero into broad silhouettes, carved negative shapes, short structural cuts, and a few overlapping color plates.
Preserve:
- the decisive outer contour and proportion;
- posture, facing direction, growth, movement, or structural lean;
- key openings, windows, face/muzzle zones, wheel gaps, branch intervals, object apertures, or terrain cuts;
- one essential relationship to environment or companion;
- one or two local marks that make the subject specific.
Use carved lines to separate material, movement, depth, or identity. Keep cuts bold enough to print but varied in width and direction.
Avoid tiny photographic detail, smooth vector tracing, perfect outlines, generic icon reduction, many equal pieces, decorative borders, and a complete rectangular image frame.
Build 2–4 source-derived ink plates
Choose two to four spot colors from the upper photograph's most recognizable hues. Simplify them into physical printing inks with clear area roles:
- one principal plate for the hero mass;
- one structural or shadow plate;
- one supporting environment/detail plate;
- optionally one small focal plate.
Use overlaps to create a few darker or mixed regions. Keep the stamp readable even with slight plate misalignment. Let paper show through as a true color and negative shape.
Do not use a fixed travel palette, rainbow plates, digital gradient, fluorescent color, muddy aging, equal-area multicolor, photographic full color, or more than four inks.
Print with genuine carved imperfection
Show physical rubber-block carving and hand stamping:
- uneven thick and thin carved lines;
- broken ink and exposed paper;
- granular ink coverage;
- small edge chips and missing corners;
- varied pressure across the print;
- dry or over-inked local passages;
- slight registration offset between color plates;
- subtle paper compression beneath dense areas.
Keep the defining silhouette and relationship intact. Texture should arise differently across plates instead of being one uniform filter.
Avoid clean vector fills with a texture overlay, uniform grunge, fake photocopy noise, smooth digital edges, children's foam stamps, glossy ink, embossed seals, wax seals, 3D depth, and distressed effects covering blank paper.
Compose a small stamp in a large field
Keep the stamp image small relative to the lower half, often about 12–28% by visual weight. Place it according to direction and center of gravity; it may be off-center, near an edge, lightly cropped, or aligned to a baseline.
Use large warm-white or pale natural-paper blank space. Maintain one visual center and one calm reading path from field note to stamp or from stamp into blank paper.
Add no scenery beyond the carved source relationship. Avoid centered souvenir presentation, multiple stamps, stamp-sheet grids, passport pages, postcard borders, repeated cancellation marks, stickers, tape, travel props, and decorative collection layouts.
Present the result as a flat art-publication page. Do not add a desk, hand, ink pad, carving tool, notebook, envelope, package, product mockup, or gift-shop context.
Preserve warm paper
Use warm pale paper with subtle fibers, natural tooth, and limited surface variation. Keep it clean and bright enough for the ink colors to remain lively.
Show only a tiny contact or compression effect inside the stamped area. The page itself should remain flat and open.
Avoid yellow stains, heavy sepia, torn edges, dark vignette, crumpled paper, thick shadows, gray dirt, old-postcard filter, and artificial antique damage.
Write field-note microtype
Derive one short English title from a supported place, subject, state, or image. Add:
- one
No.notation; - two or three short keywords; or
- one extremely brief observational note.
For multiple outputs, No.01, No.02, and so on may truthfully represent their order in the current set. Do not present a number as an archive, specimen, ticket, or catalog fact unless the user supplies it.
Use a small typewriter or archival microtype character. Align wording to the stamp edge, baseline, negative space, or a decisive contour. Keep margins and spacing exact while allowing a little printed ink variation.
Use a place only when known. Do not invent dates, coordinates, species names, site names, materials, archive codes, or observations not supported by the source. Avoid commercial titles, tourist slogans, large type, many labels, postal marks, logos, brands, signatures, pseudo-language, or watermarks.
Compile the image-edit prompt
Write one source-specific production prompt per input photo containing:
- one independent 3:4 portrait output and the exact 50% photography / 50% rubber-stamp split;
- the upper-half preservation invariants, restrained field-photography grade, fine film grain, crop, and any safe background extension;
- the lower hero, relationship, silhouette, posture, direction, scale, three to six carved identity cues, essential environment contour, and deleted detail;
- the exact silhouette plates, carved negative shapes, structural cuts, line widths/directions, and local recognition marks;
- the exact two-to-four source-derived spot inks, plate roles, overlaps, paper show-through, and focal plate;
- the broken ink, granular coverage, edge chips, pressure variation, dry/over-inked passages, registration offset, and paper compression;
- the stamp's 12–28% scale, off-center/edge/crop/baseline placement, visual center, warm-paper blank space, and reading path;
- the exact English title, truthful
No.notation, two-to-three keywords/note, factual support, typewriter/archive type, and stamp-edge/baseline/negative-space/contour alignment; - hard exclusions: no multi-photo layout, no altered or redrawn upper subject, no approximate split, no full photo copy, no smooth vector stamp, no fixed travel palette, no more than four inks, no uniform grunge filter, no circular seal, no postage or passport template, no multiple stamps, no sticker collage, no tourist souvenir, no fake place/date/coordinate/archive data, no product mockup, no logo, and no watermark.
Use concrete carving, plate, ink, pressure, scale, paper, and field-note language rather than relying on adjectives such as “premium,” “travel,” “rustic,” or “collectible.”
Inspect and correct
Review every result at full size and thumbnail size. Verify the exact split, truthful upper photography with fine grain, one recognizable small stamp, two-to-four source-derived inks, real carving marks, plate-specific broken coverage, slight registration offset, large warm-paper blank space, truthful field-note copy, and no souvenir/postage-template cues.
If it looks like a vector with a filter, redesign carved cuts and vary plate pressure. If recognition is weak, restore silhouette and three strongest features. If color feels generic, reselect inks from the upper photo. If the composition resembles a souvenir, shrink the stamp, remove borders/seals, and strengthen field-note restraint. If text invents facts, replace it with supported state/theme wording. Regenerate with one targeted correction when needed.
