Layered papercut city landmark travel poster
Create a sophisticated vertical 3:4 travel poster of as a handcrafted layered papercut landmark collage.
Use only the city name. Identify its country, architectural character, landscape, visual atmosphere, and 3–4 most iconic landmarks genuinely located in the city. Select 1 dominant Hero Landmark + 2–3 Secondary Landmarks. Never invent, substitute, or borrow landmarks.
Preserve each landmark’s authentic silhouette, proportions, roofline, towers, domes, arches, bridges, and defining features. Simplify minor details while keeping strong recognition.
Create one unified editorial composition rather than separate icons. Use varied scale, overlap, foreground/midground/background depth, shared skyline or landscape, and generous negative space. The Hero must clearly dominate.
Build the scene from 4–7 shallow paper layers: sky, distant environment, secondary landmarks, Hero, city context, foreground, and optional tiny details. Use matte handmade paper, subtle fibers, clean organic cut edges, flat colors, and delicate 1–3 mm shadows. Make it feel like real handcrafted paper photographed nearly straight-on—not CGI, plastic, clay, or a miniature diorama.
Use a refined 6–9 color muted palette inspired by , with 1–2 stronger accents near the Hero. Use soft diffused lighting and restrained shadows.
Composition: upper 20–30% quiet sky/negative space; middle 45–55% landmarks; lower 20–30% city environment, landscape, water, or streets. Keep roughly 25–35% visually quiet.
Optionally add small uppercase typography: / .
Style: premium travel poster + contemporary editorial illustration + handcrafted papercut + subtle mid-century influence + sophisticated Korean/Japanese editorial restraint.
Avoid: photorealism, incorrect landmarks, equal-sized landmarks, floating icons, sticker collage, excessive detail, deep 3D effects, neon colors, glossy materials, dramatic shadows, excessive people, logos, and watermarks.
Final goal: instantly recognizable expressed as elegant, premium, layered paper art. 3:4 vertical.
