With [Traditional Craft Theme] and [Core Artifact] as the subject, design a 9:16 vertical Neo-Chinese craft editorial poster. The overall background features warm ivory paper with generous clean negative space, presenting an upscale aesthetic that combines museum collection catalogs with contemporary Oriental editorial design.
Enlarge the core artifact, entering boldly yet restrainedly from the edge of the frame rather than being centered, making the object itself the strongest visual focus. The artifact should boast clear, distinct silhouettes, authentic exquisite craftsmanship details, and collectible-grade material texture. Meanwhile, include a macro close-up of the same craft at the opposite diagonal position to highlight the finest material, pattern, or structural details, establishing a layout relationship of 'large main subject × small slice'.
The main title consists of [2–4 Chinese characters] in large typography, utilizing Song typeface, epigraphic brushwork, or subtle handwritten aesthetic with Oriental flair, letting Chinese calligraphy actively participate in the composition. Accompany it with a [Sub-title], a core short sentence, minimal English names, and very few craft-related keywords. Avoid formatting smaller text into explanatory categories like 'Craft Intro / History / Material / PROCESS'; instead, group them into 2–3 distinct clusters of information that provide context while maintaining visual rhythm.
The overall layout emphasizes dense-versus-sparse contrast: high density in artifact areas, medium density in typography clusters, and true negative space elsewhere. Auxiliary graphic elements should be minimal and derived directly from the craft itself (such as offset dotted contours, open corner brackets, gold filigree edges, feather veins, structural lines), avoiding scattered text, dots, or decorative curves.
Highlight the premium feel of authentic textures: delicate gold/silver, warm jade/pearls, soft mother-of-pearl iridescence, rich enamel, deep lacquer, fine plumage, and translucent jade. The overall effect should be magnificent yet restrained, opulent without being gaudy—revealing artisanal details up close, with clear form, title, and elegant negative space from afar, resembling a finished oriental cultural poster.
A prompt template for Neo-Chinese editorial posters featuring traditional craftsmanship and museum artifacts. Combining large cropped object layouts, macro detail close-ups, and Chinese typography against warm ivory paper with elegant negative space, perfect for cultural exhibition visuals.

Create a refined vertical art poster that transforms a natural landscape into a flowing topographic world.
Build the terrain from hundreds of long, smooth, continuous contour lines that follow the shape, depth, and movement of the land. The lines should feel like a fusion of topographic maps, silk threads, and abstract Chinese landscape painting — directional, elegant, and highly organized rather than random decorative waves.
Use one strong visual path, such as a river, valley, ridge, cloud road, or negative-space corridor, to guide the eye from foreground to distance.
Keep the natural environment monumental and place only one or two extremely small human figures, boats, or architectural elements as scale anchors.
Use clear spatial hierarchy:
dense flowing lines in the main terrain,
calmer negative space around the visual path,
simpler and softer details in the distance.
Control the palette with 2–4 dominant colors rather than evenly distributed rainbow tones. Use large, clean color fields and let color changes reinforce depth and movement.
Add minimal editorial typography:

[SHORT POETIC LINE]
Typography should feel like a contemporary exhibition poster or art-book cover — elegant, widely spaced, restrained, and secondary to the landscape.
The final image should feel poetic, monumental, calm, and highly designed, combining Eastern landscape aesthetics, contour-line abstraction, negative space, and modern editorial composition.
SOURCE & OUTPUT
Use each uploaded photo as the sole visual reference. Create one independent, high-end editorial poster per photo and output each separately. Never combine images or create a collage.
FORMAT & LAYOUT
Use a strict vertical 3:4 composition divided into two exactly equal horizontal halves (50/50).
UPPER HALF — ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH
Preserve the original photograph faithfully, including the subject’s identity, facial features, structure, pose, proportions, natural texture, lighting, and color atmosphere. Apply only subtle premium editorial color grading for an art-magazine or exhibition-photography aesthetic. If necessary, extend only the surrounding background naturally to fit the frame. Never distort, replace, or redesign the subject.
LOWER HALF — PASTEL CRAYON MEMORY
Reinterpret the photograph as a minimalist, retro paper-texture pastel crayon doodle. Identify the scene’s most memorable subject, pose, relationships, direction, emotional tone, and visual essence. Reconstruct only these defining elements rather than copying every object or illustrating the entire scene.
Use thick, loose, grainy, hand-drawn chalk-and-crayon outlines with dry pigment texture, subtle breaks, faded patches, imperfect edges, slight hand wobble, and naturally rounded stroke endings. Add only a few simple pastel color blocks, stripes, dots, or scribbles to suggest essential details. Avoid realistic volume, detailed rendering, and excessive shading.
COMPOSITION & NEGATIVE SPACE
Keep the illustration small and visually balanced within the lower half, surrounded by generous empty space. Position the subject naturally according to the original photograph, allowing asymmetry, off-center placement, suspended elements, or partial cropping where appropriate.
Include only a few tiny environmental clues or abstract doodles, drawn in the same rough, simplified crayon style. Keep them minimal, imperfect, and contour-based. Prioritize breathing room, scale contrast, visual rhythm, and intentional emptiness. Never overcrowd the composition.
BACKGROUND & COLOR PALETTE
Use a bright, near-white paper background: ivory, cream white, pale off-white, soft apricot white, or very light gray-white. Add only subtle paper fibers and fine grain. Keep the background clean, bright, and clearly lighter than the illustration. Avoid dirty gray, dark yellow, or aged brown paper.
Extract 2–4 defining colors from the original photograph and reinterpret them as fresh, soft pastel crayon tones, such as peach pink, apricot orange, cream yellow, mint green, sky blue, or pale lavender. Use sufficiently distinct coral, blue, blue-green, warm orange, or violet outlines for clear contrast. Maintain a gentle, playful, emotionally warm, and refined palette.
OPTIONAL TEXT
Add only a tiny handwritten note if it genuinely enhances the composition. Keep it sparse, legible, secondary, and unobtrusive. Never use decorative text as filler.
FINAL AESTHETIC
Create a sophisticated editorial poster combining authentic photography above with a reduced, recognizable, hand-drawn memory of the same scene below. The illustration should feel airy, naive without being childish, playful without looking cheap, and minimal without losing the photograph’s identity or emotional meaning. Emphasize expressive linework, selective color, paper texture, asymmetry, and negative space.

Create a refined vertical art poster that transforms the landscape into an abstract **contour-line world**.
Build the terrain primarily from long, smooth, continuous lines that follow its volume, direction, elevation, and movement.
The lines should become the landscape itself, not simply decorate its surface.
Use one clear structural system and strong line-density variation, with dense lines around major forms and more breathing room in calmer areas.
Use 2–5 related colors and let the colors flow naturally along the contour structure.
Keep the landscape monumental and use only one tiny scale anchor.
Add minimal editorial typography:

[SHORT POETIC LINE]
