Social Media Post - Dark Silhouette Poster Design from Photo

A complex prompt for transforming uploaded photos into a split-layout poster: original photo on top, flat silhouette still life on dark ground below, with specific artistic constraints.

Prompt

4,551 charactersOpen Astorie studio ↗
Please turn each uploaded photo into an independent high-end design poster, do not stitch images together, output each photo separately. Use a 3:4 vertical composition, split into two halves like a folded card, with the fold line exactly on the horizontal centerline, both halves equal height, do not draw the fold line itself.

Top half retains the original photo, preserving subject identity, structure, pose, realistic texture, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere, only applying slight high-end color grading to give it an art magazine, indie publication, and exhibition image quality. To fit the aspect ratio, naturally extend the environment background but do not stretch, distort, or change the subject; crop as panorama, leave sky above the subject's head, do not crop the top. No text in the top half, all text appears only in the bottom half.

Bottom half extracts only the most recognizable **subject, outline, structure, pose, and narrative relationships** from the photo, reconstructing them as a **Flat Silhouette Still Life on a Dark Ground**. Do not copy the photo completely, but compress the subject and a few adjacent items into flat silhouettes without outlines or internal details, making the correspondence with the top photo immediately identifiable. **Must have several unoutlined flat silhouettes overlapping into a cluster standing on a solid dark background, with only one block noticeably brightest, popping out as if lit**, this defines the style, missing it fails.

Bottom half requires new artistic judgment. Even if the original has poor composition, messy background, or small subject, save it by **removing environment, converting to front/side view, moving scattered items close into a cluster**; arrange silhouettes of varying heights staggered, as if quietly placed on an invisible surface. If the photo is a scene (street, corridor, landscape, interior), take only the most representative single object or fragment, do not draw the rest, do not draw the whole scene.

Form focuses on **unoutlined front/side silhouette blocks**: each shape expressed with one color block, soft edges with slight hand-cut undulations, almost no internal structure, only using darker same-color small blocks where necessary to indicate openings, gaps, or turns. People, animals, buildings, objects, plants, and landscapes are unified into flat front or side silhouettes, depth read only through occlusion and color shade, no perspective or projection.

Texture is **fine dry-brush gouache granules**: dark background and each silhouette covered with very fine powdery speckles, making color surfaces soft and slightly velvety; stop here, no scratches, stains, folds, or aging effects.

Composition uses **a medium-sized silhouette cluster + large dark negative space**. Bottom half drawn as **panorama**, as if photographer stepped back, subject complete with empty space around, smaller than intuition suggests; **leave sky** above subject, like mounting header wider than footer, nothing touches the central fold. Silhouette cluster slightly off-center, base line on invisible horizontal, other side left for text. Prefer things quietly crowded together rather than spread across the canvas.

Color extracted from the top photo's most emotional hues, remixed into **deep ground plus low-saturation pink-grey blocks**: darkest photo color further dimmed keeping some hue as majority background; other colors desaturated mixed with grey/white becoming soft pink-grey blocks; only one block lifted brightest near warm-white, sole highlight. Adjust warmth/coolness per photo, avoid pure black, high saturation, and gradients.

Text minimal editorial intervention, any language, no fixed title. Only one short name or word taken from specific things, places, actions, or details in the photo, no subtitles or second lines; text very small, much smaller than subject, using **thin serif uppercase glyphs** in dark space beside silhouette cluster, color one shade lighter than brightest, separated by quiet distance. No generic inspirational slogans.

Overall like a still life illustration in indie publication or art postcard: dark ground, unoutlined silhouettes, overlapping layers, one bright color plane and thin small text composing quiet, warm, slightly nocturnal atmosphere.

Avoid full scene replication, filled backgrounds, cartoonish feel, template poster look, avoid isolated silhouettes, adding outlines, multiple equally bright blocks without focus, 3D lighting, vivid candy colors, and overly neat vector edges.

Ultra-Realistic Photography + Giant Cute Chibi Graffiti Mural Illusion
Create an ultra-realistic vertical photograph in a 3:4 aspect ratio, combining realistic photography with the illusion of a giant, adorable chibi graffiti mural. Use the uploaded reference photo as the primary identity reference. Preserve the real person's exact facial identity, including face shape, eyes, nose, lips, skin tone, facial proportions, and unique features. Do not alter, replace, or redesign her face.

1. Main Subject — Real Woman

On the right side of the colorful graffiti wall, show an adult Asian woman posing naturally for a photograph. She wears a plain white T-shirt, loose light-blue jeans, white sneakers, a black shoulder bag, and a wristwatch.

She stands with her legs crossed naturally. One hand gently touches her chin, while the other reaches toward the cartoon mural as if interacting with it. She has a sweet, friendly smile and looks directly at the camera.

Maintain her original facial identity, realistic skin texture, natural body proportions, and authentic appearance.

2. Giant Chibi Cartoon Mural

On the left side of the woman, create a giant, adorable chibi illustration representing a cute cartoon version of the same person.

The cartoon character features:

An oversized head and large, sparkling eyes.

Rosy cheeks and long, dark-brown hair.

A white T-shirt, loose light-blue jeans, and white sneakers.

Sunglasses resting on top of her head.

A black shoulder bag.

Bold black outlines, clean cartoon details, and beautiful hand-drawn shading.

The cartoon character makes a mini-heart gesture with one hand while extending the other hand toward the real woman to create another small heart gesture. Position their hands carefully to create the illusion that the real woman and her cartoon counterpart are interacting and posing together playfully.

3. Colorful Graffiti Background

Use an aged concrete wall covered in vibrant street art featuring pink, blue, turquoise, yellow, orange, green, and purple colors.

Include decorative elements such as:

Rainbows and colorful hearts.

Stars, flowers, and smiling faces.

A cute cat illustration.

Paint splashes, artistic doodles, and textured graffiti details.

Bold English street-art lettering with thick black outlines.

Include the phrases:

“GOOD VIBES”

“SAME ENERGY”

“YOU GOT THIS”

“BETTER TOGETHER”

Make the lettering colorful, playful, and energetic while preserving the authentic texture of the concrete wall.

4. Lighting and Photography Quality

Ultra-photorealistic photography, professional DSLR camera quality, natural daylight, soft shadows, realistic skin texture, authentic fabric details, accurate body proportions, detailed denim texture, crisp focus, vibrant colors, high resolution, realistic concrete texture, and professional street photography.

Create a playful visual story with seamless interaction between the real woman and the giant cartoon mural.
