Split Photo and Handmade Paper Illustration Art Poster

Create a high-end independent art-book editorial poster using the uploaded photo as the EXACT visual reference.

STRICT FORMAT:

- Vertical 3:4 canvas

- Divide the composition horizontally into two equal 50/50 sections

- Top half = original photograph

- Bottom half = minimalist handmade-paper illustration

TOP HALF — PHOTOGRAPH:

Preserve the uploaded photograph faithfully and naturally.

Keep the exact subject identity, facial features, pose, clothing, hairstyle, body position, objects, environment, composition, perspective, lighting and recognizable details.

Do not redesign or replace the subject.

Do not change the scene.

Apply only subtle premium editorial color grading with soft natural contrast, refined tones and realistic photographic texture.

The photograph should remain photographic and occupy exactly the entire top 50%.

BOTTOM HALF — MINIMALIST ILLUSTRATION:

Reinterpret only the most recognizable elements from the original photo as a small centered handmade paper illustration.

The illustration must:

- occupy only around 10–20% of the bottom section

- remain clearly recognizable from the original photo

- use delicate imperfect hand-drawn lines

- use bold flat acrylic-like color shapes

- have subtle handmade paper grain

- have slightly organic imperfect edges

- feel handcrafted rather than digitally perfect

- use no more than 4 colors extracted from the original photograph

- maintain generous warm off-white negative space around the illustration

Keep the illustration small and understated.

Do not let it dominate the bottom half.

EDITORIAL DESIGN:

Create a quiet, poetic, refined independent art-book aesthetic.

Use a warm off-white paper background in the bottom half.

Optional: add extremely minimal editorial typography beneath the illustration using small elegant uppercase serif lettering with generous letter spacing.

Typography must be subtle and secondary.
