Ivory Embossed Relief Poster
Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool. Treat every uploaded photograph as the edit source. Preserve its defining identity and relationship while translating it into restrained paper height, edge, light, and shadow.
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 ivory embossed relief in the lower half. Do not let either medium invade the other.
- Preserve immediate correspondence through the hero's identity, silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, key structure, and narrative relationship.
- Build the lower half almost entirely from one ivory or warm-white paper family. Use matte gold only at one or a few decisive focal details.
- Use the user's language for title and microtext unless they request 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 art-magazine, independent-publication, or exhibition-photography color correction. Do not redraw, vectorize, beautify, materially relight, or apply embossing, paper texture, gold, typography, 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.
Extract a relief blueprint
Before prompting, privately identify:
- the one hero subject or inseparable relationship carrying recognition;
- its decisive silhouette, posture, proportion, movement, openings, overlaps, and structural turns;
- three to six identity features that must survive simplification;
- the minimum environment or support contours required for depth, scale, place, movement, or narrative;
- the best supported relief orientation: frontal, overhead, slightly elevated, or axis-extended;
- one primary anchor plane and two to four subordinate depth levels;
- the single most important focal detail that may receive matte gold;
- one concise title, a few keywords, and only supported numbers, place terms, notes, or a short reflective phrase.
Do not invent a location, number, dimension, material, date, cultural claim, or quotation. If a proper name is unknown, use a truthful theme, action, state, or symbolic meaning.
Do not expose this analysis or repeat the user's design brief.
Rebuild as shallow paper relief
Translate rather than reproduce every detail. Model the hero and essential environment as shallow embossing and debossing in thick ivory paper. Use broad raised planes for primary masses, low ridges for contours and axes, shallow recesses for openings and negative spaces, and fine incised lines for decisive internal structure.
Keep relief depth small and controlled. Establish layers through:
- two to four subtle height steps;
- crisp but gently rounded embossed edges;
- narrow edge shadows and soft occlusion;
- debossed channels, line engraving, and paper compression;
- selective overlaps and interrupted contours;
- paper grain that remains consistent across raised and recessed areas.
The model should feel physically pressed, carved, folded, or sculpted from one sheet family—not rendered as a white plaster statue, resin object, marble carving, foam board, clay relief, or deep 3D extrusion.
Choose a source-responsive view
Use a frontal view when facade, face, silhouette, or symmetry carries identity. Use overhead when path, layout, arrangement, terrain, or spatial relation is central. Use a slightly elevated view for combined top/side structure. Use an extended axis when movement, growth, road, bridge, body direction, or horizon needs emphasis.
Preserve handedness, facing direction, posture, and relational placement. Adjust view only enough to clarify the source. Do not rotate every subject into the same three-quarter perspective or force a generic architectural plan.
Retain only the environment contours required to support recognition and depth. Keep one clear focal hierarchy and ample blank paper. Avoid complete scene reconstruction, many decorative layers, floating fragments, or a technical exploded diagram.
Use light as the second material
Illuminate the lower relief with soft warm-white light from one consistent direction. Let short edge shadows, slight tonal differences, and narrow occlusion reveal height without making the paper gray or theatrical.
Keep the base in milky white, warm white, soft ivory, or a very pale paper tone. Use large unembossed areas as active quiet space. Preserve a museum-display calm without adding a literal vitrine, frame, wall, room, pedestal, spotlight cone, or gallery mockup.
Avoid hard shadows, deep black crevices, dramatic rim light, glossy highlights, colored illumination, gradient backgrounds, dirty aging, yellowed paper, stains, and excessive paper fibers.
Place matte gold only at the core
Select one essential recognition point or structural relationship for matte gold: an eye, window, wheel rim, path, petal center, connecting line, key edge, light source, carried object, or another source-supported focal detail.
Use a very small area of muted matte gold, pale gilding, or softly reflective gold ink. It may appear as a thin line, tiny plane, pressed detail, or restrained letter. The gold must clarify identity, hierarchy, or meaning.
Avoid gold borders, complete gold outlines, scattered flecks, repeated ornaments, glitter, mirror gold, orange plastic gold, brass, metallic gradients, foil spectacle, and equal gold distribution across the scene.
Integrate museum typography
Derive one concise title from the subject identity, supported place, theme, action, state, or symbolic meaning. Add only a few keywords and, when supported, a number, place, micro-note, or short reflective line.
Use restrained dark-gray or matte-gold serif/editorial type. Align it to the central axis, place it beneath the hero, hold it at a blank edge, or share a baseline with an embossed contour. Typography must behave like another measured relief element rather than a pasted information layer.
Keep wording short and legible. Do not use malformed text, long explanation, invented philosophy, unsupported facts, arbitrary issue numbers, 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% embossed-relief split;
- the upper-half preservation invariants, restrained color correction, crop, and any safe background extension;
- the lower hero, relationship, silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, three to six defining features, and minimal environment contours;
- the chosen frontal, overhead, slightly elevated, or axis-extended view and why it follows the source;
- the primary anchor plane, two-to-four height levels, raised masses, recessed openings, engraved lines, overlaps, and unembossed quiet space;
- the exact ivory paper family, thickness, grain, edge softness, compression, warm light direction, short shadows, and occlusion;
- the one or few matte-gold details, their exact location, area, material, and recognition or meaning function;
- the layout's center of gravity, depth order, axis, blank-space proportions, and museum-like reading path;
- the exact title, keywords, supported microtext, type color, and axis-, contour-, edge-, or baseline-aware placement;
- hard exclusions: no multi-photo layout, no altered or redrawn upper subject, no approximate split, no detailed full-scene copy, no deep relief, no white plaster or resin, no marble, no plastic CGI, no hard shadows, no colored scene, no yellow dirty paper, no ornate gold, no complete gold outline, no malformed text, no gallery mockup, no logo, and no watermark.
Use concrete relief height, paper edge, light, shadow, gold area, view, and spacing language rather than relying on adjectives such as “premium,” “museum,” “Eastern,” or “minimal.”
Inspect and correct
Review every result at full size and thumbnail size. Verify the exact split, truthful upper photography, immediate lower recognition, source-responsive view, shallow paper relief, controlled depth hierarchy, broad ivory quiet space, consistent soft light, minimal meaningful gold, restrained typography, and absence of CGI heaviness.
If the subject looks flat, strengthen two or three relief steps and edge shadows without deepening the sculpture. If it looks like plaster, marble, foam, or resin, restore compressed paper grain, incised lines, and sheet-like shallow height. If gold dominates, remove all but the core focal detail. If the lower half becomes crowded, delete environment contours and text until one hero hierarchy remains. If text is malformed, shorten it and regenerate. Regenerate with one targeted correction when needed.
