Photo and Broken-Line Travel Poster

Arrange each travel photo separately as a 3:4 editorial poster, with the real photo above and a black broken-line observation study below.

Prompt

Please turn each travel photo I upload into a separate premium line-drawn travel poster. Output each photo on its own, with no multi-photo collage.

Overall, use a 3:4 vertical composition to form a clear top-and-bottom contrast of "real photo above + line-drawn background figure re-sketch below." Use clear, horizontal, restrained boundaries between the upper and lower areas. Do not feather, tear, or blend with gradients, and do not let the photo, lines, or text cross the boundary.

The upper half must retain the uploaded photo itself. Accurately preserve the identity, number, posture, direction of movement, main clothing colors of the person or subject, the relationship between architecture and street, viewing angle, perspective, real materials, natural light and shadow, and the original color mood. Apply only a slight premium photographic color grade and very thin film grain, giving it the texture of a travel magazine or art publication. To fit the frame, you may naturally extend the sky, ground, or surrounding environment, but do not stretch, distort, mirror, move, replace, or redraw the subject.

In the lower half, on warm off-white, old-paper white, or light oat-colored paper, reorganize the same person and the same scene from the photo above into a "line-drawn background figure observation study." The figure remains the visual center, keeping the original number of people, body balance, direction of movement, distances between people, hairstyle silhouette, main clothing colors, and key identifying features such as the backpack. The street, buildings, sea, or environment behind the figure should retain only a few clues that show the location and spatial direction. Do not trace the entire background, and do not add people or landmarks that are not in the original photo.

The linework must use an unstable black pen, dip pen, or relatively dry ink to repeatedly search for form. Breaks, pauses, folded-back strokes, misaligned double lines, partial re-tracing, variations in thickness, light erasing, and unfinished line ends must all be clearly visible. The lines should look like the artist is continuously correcting on site, not like clean vector outlines, comic ink lines, or fashion sketches. Where needed, use a very small amount of solid black or dense hatching to hold down the backpack, hair, door frame, or shadows, but do not build full sketch shading and do not fill large areas with color.

The composition uses reduced, distilled, offset, or vertically reorganized layouts. The linear subject occupies roughly 38%–68% of the lower area's width and may lean toward one side. Keep at least 42% of continuous old-paper negative space around it. Use only one or two ground lines, perspective lines, wall boundaries, or structural lines to support the space; do not draw an engineering grid. The tension between lines and paper white matters more than background completeness.

The palette is mainly warm old paper and a single black ink. At most, extract one very small area of a pale color from the photo for clothing, location markers, short lines, or numbering, with colored area below 8% of the lower area. Do not use multicolor watercolor fills. The paper should show visible fibers, fine grain, and the matte feel of an old travel album.

Add a small amount of accurate, readable editorial text in the main empty areas: one short English title related to the location or subject; one line reading "LINE STUDY 01" or a location/object field; and one very short observation note. The text should use a small typewriter face, a worn letterpress face, or a handwriting style similar to the linework, as if written directly on the paper, and should not compete with the figure. Do not add author names, brands, logos, URLs, fake dates, signatures, watermarks, garbled text, or extra slogans.

Overall mood: fragmented black linework, repeated searching contours, sparse travel observation, warm archival paper, controlled negative space, one restrained accent color, handmade editorial study, quiet and intelligent travel memory.

Avoid: applying a plain line-art filter to the whole image, continuous smooth outlines, vector strokes, refined fashion sketching, detailed facial features, anatomical body correction, complete background tracing, dense architectural detail, full shadow sketching, heavy watercolor, oil painting, 3D, anime, unrelated people, intimate pose restrictions, author names, logos, URLs, signatures, watermarks, and garbled text.

Most important rule: The upper half is a real photo that can be compared directly. The lower half uses only black marks that break, fold back, overlap, and keep searching for form, to re-distill the relationship between the same person and the same scene. The style comes from the tension between line marks and negative space, not from any one fixed figure relationship.

How to use

Usage tip: Upload each travel photo separately and prepare accurate location or subject information for each image. After generation, focus on checking the number of people, direction of movement, the boundary between the photo and the line-drawn area, and the legibility of the text.
