Geometric Memory Microtype Poster

Geometric Memory Microtype Poster

Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool. Treat each uploaded photograph as the edit source. Preserve its visual memory through a few exact forms and let microtype organize the surrounding silence.

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 geometric-memory composition in the lower half. Do not let either medium invade the other.
• Preserve immediate correspondence through volume ratio, dominant axis, curves, crossings, layers, occlusions, negative spaces, posture, and asymmetry.
• Use a clean ivory ground, one principal color, one dark structural color, one light/mid neutral, and at most one tiny accent.
• Use one 2–5 word poetic English title and two to four groups of microtext. Do not use years.
• Return every poster as a separate image. Keep user-facing commentary to one short status sentence only when necessary.

Preserve the photographic upper half

Keep the source recognizably photographic. Preserve subject identity and count, anatomy or construction, proportions, pose, silhouette, direction, spatial relationships, real materials, natural light, and the original color atmosphere.

Apply only restrained art-magazine, independent-publication, or exhibition-photography color correction. Do not redraw, vectorize, beautify, materially relight, or apply geometry, typography, paper texture, or graphic overlays to this region.

Crop deliberately for the upper half. When more area is needed, extend only plausible environmental background such as sky, ground, wall, water, foliage, or ambient space. Never stretch, warp, mirror, duplicate, or redesign the subject.

Run the four-part reduction

Privately process each source through:

1. Deconstruction: map the hero subject or inseparable relation, major masses, ratios, axes, curves, intersections, overlaps, occlusions, gaps, asymmetry, and center of gravity.
2. Selection: retain only the structural and narrative cues required for recognition; remove incidental objects, texture, and description.
3. Distillation: convert each retained cue into a circle, arc, rectangle, wedge, ribbon, plane, fine line, or shaped void.
4. Reconstruction: arrange those forms as one visual memory with a dominant shape, clear hierarchy, scale contrast, and deliberate ivory blank space.

Also identify the source's light, space, action, material, emotion, most spirited hue, deep structural color, and neutral support color.

Do not expose this analysis or repeat the user's design brief.

Make every geometry accountable

Preserve:

• the most distinctive mass ratios and scale differences;
• the hero's main axis, lean, direction, and visual weight;
• decisive contour turns, curves, apertures, and notches;
• important nesting, overlap, adjacency, crossing, and occlusion;
• meaningful gaps between parts or related subjects;
• asymmetry that carries movement, posture, or personality.

Assign each abstract form to one of these source facts. Merge minor details into larger masses. Use at most a few thin lines to restore direction, support, or relationship.

Delete any shape that does not strengthen recognition, hierarchy, rhythm, or the source proposition. Avoid generic icons, equal shape rows, symbolic decoration, random circles, abstract confetti, or a modular system unrelated to the photo.

Compose geometry against blank space

Place the memory according to original weight and direction. It may be offset, partially cropped, nested, stretched along an axis, or allowed to touch an edge. Keep one center of gravity and one dominant mass.

Use overlap, scale, positive/negative shape, density change, and shaped gaps to create one entry, a focal hold, a small secondary discovery, and a quiet exit.

Treat ivory blank space as an active structural region. Give it a measured role: counterweight, pause, distance, extension of an axis, or space reserved for microtype. Keep its boundary intentional rather than leaving random emptiness.

Avoid rigid symmetry, evenly distributed fragments, many tiny shapes, centered logo composition, decorative balance, complex collage, and a reusable gallery-poster formula.

Present the result as a flat editorial artwork. Do not add a wall, frame, desk, book mockup, gallery room, branding board, product card, or presentation environment.

Build a strict source palette

Translate the upper photograph into:

1. one principal color carrying the most identity and life;
2. one deep color defining structure, axes, or weight;
3. one light/mid neutral mediating between the forms and ivory ground;
4. optionally one tiny source-supported accent marking a single event.

Assign each color a spatial and hierarchical job. Control the design through area ratio, value difference, and local contrast. Preserve the source temperature and spirit.

Avoid equal color distribution, overall grayness, forced desaturation, fixed modernist palettes, unrelated beige, muddy mixing, rainbow colors, neon, candy palettes, and more than one accent.

Create the title and microtext

Derive one poetic English title of two to five words from the source's light, space, action, material, emotion, or metaphor. It carries mood rather than directly labeling the object.

Add two to four microtext groups selected from supported content:

• a short phrase or state word;
• a place or object descriptor;
• a chapter, section, sequence, or classification marker;
• a scale-like number or direction word;
• a material term, archival-style label, or micro-explanation.

Do not use years. Do not invent locations, measurements, sequence facts, archive records, categories, materials, coordinates, or quotations. Non-factual numbers may appear only when clearly presented as compositional notation.

Use a restrained serif for the title and a slender editorial face for microtext. Establish one tiny group, one or two intermediate groups, and a title through deliberate size, tracking, weight, and orientation contrast.

Make type participate in form

Align text to axes, edges, contours, gaps, cropped corners, and negative-space channels. It may run vertically, rotate, split into columns, open its tracking, press into a corner, cross a color field, nest between forms, or pass through an occlusion.

Give each text group one job: extend a line, stop movement, counterbalance a mass, activate blank space, show scale, or guide the reading path.

Avoid a conventional centered title, equal caption blocks, dense body copy, false data decoration, commercial slogans, UI panels, logos, brands, signatures, malformed text, pseudo-language, or watermarks.

Compile the image-edit prompt

Write one source-specific production prompt per input photo containing:

1. one independent 3:4 portrait output and the exact 50% photography / 50% geometric-memory split;
2. the upper-half preservation invariants, restrained color correction, crop, and any safe background extension;
3. the lower hero, relationship, volume ratios, axes, curves, crossings, layers, occlusions, negative spaces, asymmetry, and center of gravity;
4. the exact selected cues, deleted detail, geometry-to-source mappings, merged forms, structural lines, and shaped voids;
5. the dominant form, placement, crop, scale hierarchy, ivory-space role, entry, focal hold, secondary discovery, and quiet exit;
6. the exact principal, deep structural, neutral, and optional accent colors, with area and hierarchy assignments;
7. the exact 2–5 word English title and its source emotion or metaphor;
8. the exact two-to-four microtext groups and factual support for every place, number, material, direction, label, or note;
9. every text group's serif/editorial role, size, tracking, direction, axis, edge, corner, field-crossing, nesting, or negative-space function;
10. hard exclusions: no multi-photo layout, no altered or redrawn upper subject, no approximate split, no arbitrary abstraction, no icon system, no equal shape row, no many small fragments, no decorative collage, no fixed palette, no overall grayness, no year, no false data, no centered conventional title, no commercial template, no logo, and no watermark.

Use concrete source evidence, shape mapping, ivory-space role, color area, hierarchy, and type function rather than relying on adjectives such as “premium,” “abstract,” “editorial,” or “quiet.”

Inspect and correct

Review every result at full size and thumbnail size. Verify the exact split, truthful upper photography, immediate geometric correspondence, accountable forms, one dominant memory, intentional ivory blank space, strict source palette, 2–5 word title, two-to-four microtext groups, and one clear reading path.

If the abstraction loses identity, restore mass ratio, main axis, decisive curve, and key gap. If any form lacks source evidence, delete it. If the design resembles icons, merge shapes and strengthen overlap, asymmetry, and scale contrast. If blank space feels accidental, assign it a counterweight, distance, axis, or typography role. If text looks pasted on, bind each group to a shape, edge, line, or void. Regenerate with one targeted correction when needed.
