Photo Paper Diorama Postcard

Photo Paper Diorama Postcard

Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool. Edit each supplied photograph rather than replacing it with an unrelated scene.

Non-negotiable output structure

• Produce one standalone raster poster for each source photo. If several photos are supplied, edit and return them individually; never combine them into a collage, contact sheet, diptych, or shared canvas.
• Use a 3:4 vertical canvas with one horizontal division at the exact midpoint. The photographic upper section and miniature lower section must each occupy exactly 50% of the total height.
• Preserve an immediately legible correspondence between the real photographic world above and the handcrafted miniature world below, regardless of whether the source features a person, animal, plant, building, object, vehicle, or natural landscape.

Upper 50%: truthful editorial photography

Keep the upper half recognizably photographic. Preserve the main subject's identity, count, anatomy or construction, silhouette, pose, spatial relationships, realistic texture, natural light, shadows, and original color atmosphere. Apply only restrained, sophisticated grading associated with an art magazine, independent publication, or exhibition photograph.

When the source framing does not fit, extend only plausible sky, ground, water, or surrounding environment. Never stretch, reshape, warp, beautify, relocate, or redesign the main subject. Do not turn this half into an illustration or apply a conspicuous effect.

Lower 50%: miniature postcard world

Reinterpret the source selectively as a refined miniature 3D paper-craft diorama. Preserve the most recognizable subject, silhouette, pose, and narrative relationship without mechanically reproducing the entire photograph.

Build the composition from three essentials:

1. one instantly recognizable hero subject with the greatest visual weight;
2. one narrow, lightweight, horizontal floating landscape base;
3. abundant soft-white or extremely pale paper negative space.

Model the hero and only the smallest useful set of supporting cues with paper, cardstock, soft clay, thin wood pieces, or similarly tactile craft materials. Supporting plants, roads, water, lamps, vehicles, people, birds, clouds, or everyday details are allowed only when they are genuinely derived from the source and strengthen recognition. Keep them fewer, smaller, quieter, and subordinate to the hero.

Adapt height, foreground/background layers, density, and left-right balance to the source subject's scale, direction, and relationships. Keep the installation broadly centered without rigid symmetry. Create depth through scale changes, layered overlaps, restrained foreground and background pieces, and soft contact shadows. The lower half should feel curated, light, calm, and spacious rather than like a literal model of every source detail.

Material, light, and color

• Make the craft construction physically believable: visible paper fibers, folds, cut edges, layered thickness, slight fraying, tiny handmade irregularities, and the occasional thin wood or soft-clay detail.
• Use soft natural diffused light and delicate macro-photography shadows to reveal volume and layering. Avoid glossy CGI surfaces.
• Establish an airy, slightly desaturated premium palette led by pale powder blue, mist blue, sky blue, and cool airy blues.
• Balance the blues with ivory, cream, pale beige, soft gray-green, sage green, and neutral architectural tones. Reserve dusty rose or muted blush for very small accents.
• Keep colors soft but clean. Avoid muddy gray, strong yellow casts, candy colors, glossy gradients, and harsh saturation. Use subtle tonal differences between paper layers to separate depth.
• Treat the pale lower field as part of the design. Preserve enough empty space for the result to resemble a meticulously photographed premium handcrafted travel postcard, not a product display.

Integrated English title

Derive one short English title from the source's location, subject identity, theme, or emotional atmosphere; it does not need to be a city name. Use a small refined typeface with a restrained handwritten character.

Prefer the negative space below the landscape strip. When compositionally meaningful, the title may follow a slight curve, align gently along the base, or interact subtly with the miniature world. It must feel like an artist's signature, never a commercial headline. Do not add subtitles, long copy, pseudo-information, logos, or repeated labels.

Prompt compilation

Inspect each source separately and privately identify the hero subject, defining silhouette or relationship, essential landscape strip, minimal supporting cues, source-derived cool palette, safe background extension, and concise English title. Then compile a direct edit prompt specifying:

1. one independent 3:4 portrait output for this source and the exact 50/50 midpoint split;
2. the upper half's photographic preservation invariants and any safe environmental extension;
3. the lower half's hero model, narrow floating base, depth layers, asymmetrical balance, and extensive negative space;
4. the exact source-relevant supporting models and their smaller scale;
5. the short English title, small handwritten-signature treatment, and spatial placement;
6. visible handcrafted materials, diffused macro light, delicate shadows, pale background, and restrained palette;
7. hard exclusions: no multi-photo canvas, no distorted subject, no literal full-scene redraw, no decorative clutter, no excessive complexity or cuteness, no childish craft style, no toy-like or plastic 3D render, no e-commerce product-display aesthetic, no watermark.

Do not quote or restate the production brief to the user. Proceed directly to image editing and return the separate finished posters, with at most one short status sentence when needed.

Inspect and correct

Review each result at full size and thumbnail size. Apply one focused regeneration when necessary:

• Restore the exact midpoint division if either section is not precisely half the canvas.
• Restore truthful photographic detail if the upper half looks illustrated, reshaped, or heavily filtered.
• Strengthen layered thickness, cut edges, tactile imperfections, and contact shadows if the lower scene looks flat or digitally plastic.
• Remove secondary objects and enlarge the pale negative space if the diorama feels crowded or product-like.
• Reinforce the hero's silhouette, pose, or defining relationship if it is not recognizable at a glance.
• Reduce and reposition the English title if it reads as a headline instead of a quiet signature.
