Minimalist Black and White Outbound Illustration prompt
Prompt1972 chars
Turn each photo I upload into its own high-end design poster; no multi-image collages, one output per photo. 3:4 vertical layout, top and bottom sections at a strict 1:1 height ratio, each 50% of the frame.
Top half: the original photo, keeping structure, texture, light and color mood, with light, refined art-magazine grading; extend the background if needed, never distort the subject.
Bottom half: extract the most recognizable subject, outlines, pose and narrative relationships and rebuild them as a minimalist black-and-white hand-drawn editorial illustration. A horizontal or vertical solid black rectangle forms the main visual field; most of the subject sits inside it, while its most recognizable part (head, top contour, leaves, roof, limb, object edge) breaks out past the edge, creating a clear out-of-bounds effect, as if the subject leans out of, passes through or grows from the black space.
Render the subject with only essential outlines, pose and key structure, using black hand-drawn lines, white negative space and a few gray planes. Lines like ink brush, fineliner or photocopied line art, slightly wobbly and imperfect. Minimal interior detail.
Composition: contrast the rectangle's geometric order with the subject's free outline. The rectangle is a stable base; the subject adds energy through asymmetry, cropping and breaking out. Wide white paper margins; no second subject.
Text: a light black-and-white editorial micro-layout: a short English title drawn from the photo's action, mood or metaphor, plus 1-3 tiny notes, numbers or status words, placed along the rectangle's edge or in negative space. Black handwriting, thin sans-serif or restrained serif, small, like an illustrator's notes.
Overall: white paper, black geometric field, naive hand-drawn lines, breakout subject, minimal grays; witty, restrained, clever, a bit quirky. Avoid color, complex scenes, vector lines, realistic shading, 3D, silhouettes and centered templates.
