Travel Object Photo-Doodle Poster

Turn each travel photo into a separate 3:4 vertical editorial poster: retain the real photograph in the upper half, and distill one key travel object in the lower half, retelling the scene with photo cutouts, matte color blocks, and restrained doodles.

Prompt

Please turn each travel photo I upload into a separate, individually output premium-design poster. Output each photo separately; do not combine multiple photos into one image. The overall composition is vertical 3:4, made up of a clearly visible real photograph and a redraw of a “photo-doodle travel object” from the same scene. Make the upper and lower areas close to 1:1 in height, separated by a clear, straight, restrained horizontal boundary. Do not blur, feather, dissolve, or overlap the images at the boundary.

## Upper Half: Original Photograph

Faithfully preserve the identity, number, pose, and direction of movement of the subjects in the original photograph; the key objects, relationships between people, street or spatial structure, viewing angle, real materials, natural lighting and shadows, and original color atmosphere.

Apply only subtle color grading at the level of a travel magazine, independent publication, or photography exhibition, and add an extremely fine film grain. The upper half must remain a clear, genuine photographic work with substantial area.

Do not redraw the photograph, move people, change the identity or structure of vehicles, food, shops, tables and chairs, boats, or souvenirs, or add cultural symbols or travel objects that do not appear in the photo.

To fit the format, you may naturally extend a small amount of sky, ground, wall, or surrounding environment, but do not stretch, compress, mirror, duplicate, or distort the subject.

## Lower Half: Photo-Doodle Travel Object

Extract from the same photo the one key travel object most worth remembering, for example:

- A vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle, boat, or cart;
- A coffee cup, plate, food, tableware, or tabletop arrangement;
- A chair, suitcase, road sign, umbrella, or souvenir;
- A shopfront, sales window, newsstand, or street stall;
- Another everyday object with a clear silhouette and a strong sense of place.

People may be retained, but only to support the object's action, use, and travel story. They must not take over as the main visual focus.

First identify the most important object's identity, outline, direction, color, and use in the photo. Then actively remove complex backgrounds, unrelated passersby, repeated buildings, advertisements, dense signage, tiny decorations, and photographic noise.

Do not shrink the entire original photo to fit the lower half, or simply outline or cartoonize the whole photo.

## Recomposition

Use an editorial composition that distills the scene. The key object should occupy about 40%–65% of the lower half's width and about 30%–58% of its height, placed in the center, toward the bottom, or to one side. Adjust the subject's scale, crop, and position according to the photo's content so the lower half is clearly distinct from the photo above.

Retain only one key object, with one to three essential scene cues, such as:

- A short stretch of road, track, or tabletop;
- A door, window, or corner of a wall;
- A hand using an object or a small figure;
- A shadow, steam, motion trail, or directional line.

The transformed area must retain about 35%–55% of continuous warm-white paper or light-colored empty space, so the subject has room to breathe. Do not use template-like white sidebars or break up the empty space into many small gaps.

## Photo Cutouts and Matte Color Blocks

The key object must not become an ordinary illustration throughout.

Keep a small amount of real texture from the original photo, using options such as:

- One to three cropped areas with photographic texture;
- The most recognizable real surface of the object;
- Partial photographic textures of car windows, food, fabric, metal, or wood;
- Irregular photo cutouts that follow the object's silhouette.

Blend the photo cutouts naturally into the matte color blocks and hand-drawn lines. Do not use regular photo frames or assemble them into a dense album.

Simplify the remaining structure into 4–6 matte flat-color blocks drawn from the photo. Keep one vivid, most recognizable color as the visual focus and lower the saturation of the other colors moderately.

Allow slight handmade irregularities, pigment gaps, and paper showing through along the edges of the color blocks. Avoid smooth vector shapes and the look of commercial digital illustration.

## Narrative Doodles

Add just a few hand-drawn doodles around the key object that relate to the real scene.

Depending on the photo, you can use:

- Arrows indicating an action or direction of travel;
- Motion trails for vehicles, boats, or people;
- Steam lines above food and drinks;
- Subtle sound symbols, vibration lines, or waiting marks;
- Curves connecting people and objects;
- Dots, underlines, or short observation marks;
- One or two very simple little symbols.

The doodles must explain the object's action, use, or travel mood rather than serve as pure decoration.

Use black, dark brown, or one dark color from the photo, with loose marker, crayon, oil pastel, or pencil lines. Lines may be broken, retraced, slightly overshoot, and have uneven ink marks.

Keep the number of doodles restrained, usually using only 3–7 groups of small lines or symbols. Do not turn the whole image into a child's doodle book, comic storyboard, or dense sticker page.

## Text

Before generating, use the real objects, place, actions, or atmosphere visible in the photo to determine and render the following text accurately:

1. A main title of 1–3 English words;
2. The field: “OBJECT NOTE 01”;
3. One observation sentence of 5–12 English words.

The title can be the object's name or a brief travel impression, for example:

- “YELLOW TRAM”
- “LATE LUNCH”
- “CORNER TABLE”
- “SMALL FERRY”
- “STREET CART”
- “RAINY RIDE”

The observation sentence should describe only colors, actions, positions, and relationships between objects that are actually present in the photo. Do not invent a brand, place, date, or story.

Place the text together in a continuous area of negative space as a clear editorial caption alongside the key object and doodles. The main title must be clearly readable at chat-preview size; supporting text must not shrink into illegible decorative gray lines.

Use loose handwriting, old printed small type, or narrow lettering with a marker-like texture. Letter edges may have slight ink gaps, retracing, and paper friction, as if the artist wrote them on the paper alongside the doodles. Do not use smooth, floating digital typography.

Do not copy advertisements, signs, or brand names from the original photo. No author name, signature, social-media handle, logo, URL, QR code, fake Chinese text, gibberish, or meaningless numbers.

## Overall Mood

Like picking the little thing from a travel photo that you most hate to forget, then preserving it once more with photo scraps, matte colors, and a few quick handwritten notes.

Relaxed, clever, observant, slightly humorous, and full of everyday life, while retaining the restrained layout of an independent travel magazine and art publication.

Strictly avoid: full-photo cartoon filter, same-crop same-scale redraw, complete realistic lower background, dense doodles, childish cartoon page, comic panel, generic travel stickers, copied signage, invented brand, excessive arrows, excessive symbols, multiple competing objects, glossy 3D, smooth vector shapes, digital gradients, oversaturated colors, tiny decorative source photo, missing source-photo comparison, fake text, author signature, watermark.

How to use

Usage suggestion: Upload one or more travel photos; each will be processed separately. Make sure the key objects, actions, and surroundings in the photos are clearly visible so the tool can generate an accurate English title, observation sentence, and lower-half redraw composition.
