Humanist Geometric Relief Poster

Humanist Geometric Relief Poster

Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool. Treat each uploaded photograph as the edit source. Reduce visual complexity until only the forms required for recognition, relationship, and human meaning remain.

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 humanist geometric reconstruction in the lower half. Do not let either medium invade the other.
• Preserve immediate correspondence through the hero's silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, key relation, and a few defining structural cues.
• Keep one lower visual center, a finite geometry vocabulary, a limited source-derived palette, and abundant quiet paper.
• Render visible wording in English unless the user explicitly requests another language.
• 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 magazine- or exhibition-photography color correction. Do not redraw, vectorize, beautify, materially relight, or apply geometry, relief, typography, paper texture, or graphic overlays to this region.

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

Decide what must survive reduction

Before prompting, privately identify:

1. the one hero subject or inseparable relationship carrying recognition;
2. its decisive outer contour, posture, proportion, direction, openings, overlaps, and negative spaces;
3. three to six identity cues that make it this subject rather than a generic category;
4. the source's main human quality: presence, distance, care, work, rest, movement, waiting, shelter, growth, encounter, memory, or another visible relation;
5. the minimum horizontal, contour, division, horizon, support, path, or environmental line needed for context;
6. the visual center of gravity and useful near-centered offset;
7. the most character-bearing source colors and their area hierarchy;
8. one concise English title and only the few words or numbers that deepen the reading.

Delete detail that does not contribute to identity, relationship, hierarchy, scale, or rhythm. Do not expose this analysis or repeat the user's design brief.

Abstract with a small geometric vocabulary

Translate the hero into a restrained set of circles, arcs, rounded or sharp rectangles, wedges, planes, fine contours, and structural lines. Use each shape for a recognizable mass, joint, opening, support, path, shadow, gaze, or directional force.

Preserve important asymmetry and relational distance. Merge small source details into larger color fields. Use negative shapes to retain openings, posture, adjacency, and air. Add only the few environmental divisions required to explain where the hero stands, moves, rests, or relates.

Do not trace realistically, outline every part, approximate the source with unrelated fashionable shapes, or use many equal modules. Avoid generic Bauhaus motifs, decorative circles, grids, wavy lines, icons, or abstract accents that have no source function.

Compose around one humane center

Place the hero near center but offset it according to weight, facing direction, movement, gaze, or relationship. Avoid rigid symmetry. Use scale, proportion, positive/negative shape, density change, slight layer offset, and large blank areas to create balance and rhythm.

Keep one clear visual center. Let a line, plane, gap, crop, or secondary form lead into it and provide a quiet exit. Preserve some warmth and lived space rather than turning the poster into a diagram.

The composition may crop an edge, extend a horizon, stagger planes, or hold a small off-axis feature, but all changes must follow the source. Avoid evenly distributed parts, full-page patterns, complex backgrounds, centered logo-like emblems, and template layouts.

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

Add only a whisper of relief

Give selected planes and contours a very shallow embossed or raised-paper effect. Use minute height changes, soft edge shading, narrow contact shadows, and slight overlaps so forms appear gently pressed above or into the page.

Keep the relief subtle enough that the image still reads primarily as flat graphic design. Reserve the strongest height difference for the focal form or one important relational overlap.

Use matte paper, fine grain, and soft broad light. Avoid deep extrusion, thick bevels, foam board, layered paper craft, plastic surfaces, clay or plaster relief, glossy highlights, hard shadows, dramatic perspective, or photorealistic 3D rendering.

Translate a humanist source palette

Extract the upper photograph's most dignified and recognizable colors, then soften visual noise and organize them into a finite low-stimulation palette. Preserve the source's warm/cool relationship and color character.

Use an off-white, warm white, light gray, sand, gray-pink, pale ochre, mist blue, sage, or another quiet hue only when derived from the source. Retain one principal source color, one or two supporting families, same-family value steps, and at most one restrained accent.

Keep colors warm or cool according to the photograph, gentle, clear, culturally resonant, and lived-in. Avoid fixed neutral brand palettes, universal beige, muddy gray, excessive desaturation, icy technology blue, neon color, high-saturation clashes, rainbow coding, and generic commercial color systems.

Integrate restrained English typography

Derive one concise English title from the source's theme, identity, emotion, action, time, or metaphor. Add only a few state words, numbers, or micro-annotations when they improve meaning or rhythm.

Arrange type along a hero contour, structural line, quiet edge, baseline, or central axis. Keep it slender, controlled, contemporary, and secondary. It may align, nest, or cross a subtle relief boundary without becoming a detached headline.

Do not merely label a place or object. Do not invent time, location, numbers, facts, slogans, issue codes, logos, brands, signatures, 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-relief split;
2. the upper-half preservation invariants, restrained color correction, crop, and any safe background extension;
3. the lower hero, human relation, silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, three to six identity cues, and minimum environmental lines;
4. the exact small geometry vocabulary, shape-to-source mapping, merged details, negative spaces, and deliberately deleted information;
5. the near-centered offset, center of gravity, scale hierarchy, positive/negative balance, density rhythm, crop, entry, focal hold, and quiet exit;
6. the selected shallow relief planes, minute height differences, overlap, edge shading, narrow shadow, paper grain, and soft light;
7. the exact source-derived principal, supporting, value, and accent colors and their area hierarchy;
8. the exact English title and microtext with their contour-, line-, edge-, baseline-, axis-, or relief-aware placement;
9. hard exclusions: no multi-photo layout, no altered or redrawn upper subject, no approximate split, no realistic lower illustration, no arbitrary abstract shapes, no decorative geometry, no rigid symmetry, no dense pattern, no deep 3D, no layered paper craft, no plastic CGI, no fixed neutral palette, no cold technical graphic, no commercial infographic, no conventional headline, no logo, and no watermark.

Use concrete form, relation, proportion, spacing, relief, and color language rather than relying on adjectives such as “premium,” “humanist,” “modern,” or “gentle.”

Inspect and correct

Review every result at full size and thumbnail size. Verify the exact split, truthful upper photography, immediate lower recognition, one humane visual center, small source-backed geometry set, stable rhythm, large quiet space, subtle relief, limited source palette, and integrated English type.

If recognition is weak, restore the outer contour, three strongest identity cues, and key relation. If the design feels arbitrary, delete every geometry not tied to a source mass, opening, axis, or environment line. If it resembles a logo or infographic, add relational space and reduce diagrammatic alignment. If relief becomes obvious 3D, flatten height and shadow. If color feels like a generic brand system, reconnect each hue to the upper photo. Regenerate with one targeted correction when needed.
