Goal: Create a vertical 3×3 lifestyle photo collage for social media, combining candid streetwear OOTD, city-walk travel details, and playful white hand-drawn diary annotations.
Canvas: Vertical 9:16 smartphone story format, about 504×896 px. Use a casual urban travel aesthetic with muted colors, natural daylight, slight film grain, and realistic smartphone photography.
Layout: Arrange exactly 9 photo panels in a tight grid with thin or no gutters. The panels should feel like a curated travel朋友圈 / Instagram story collage.
Subject details: Feature one young adult man, {argument name="main subject" default="a slim young man in a navy baseball cap, dark navy overshirt jacket, white T-shirt, loose khaki trousers, black canvas sneakers with white laces, and a black crossbody bag"}. He appears in multiple candid poses: walking, standing with a drink, looking at his phone, and shown from his own POV.
Panel count and contents: Include exactly 9 panels:
1. Top-left: full-body side view of the man walking beside a brick wall and dark shopfront, slightly hunched with hands near pockets; add white doodles reading “city walk” at top left and “day off” near bottom left, with an outlined silhouette around his body, an arrow near his shoes, and a small star.
2. Top-center: close-up of blue bilingual street direction signs on a pole in a city street, with brick buildings and trees behind; add curved white arrows, a small heart, emphasis marks, and the handwritten words “getting lost” near the lower right.
3. Top-right: medium shot of the man standing outside a brick storefront holding an iced coffee; add a white outline around his silhouette, a curved arrow pointing to the drink, handwritten text “coffee time,” and a small star.
4. Middle-left: close-up of the crossbody strap and denim/navy fabric with a small plush keychain charm; add sparkles, a curved arrow, and handwritten text “little guy :)”.
5. Middle-center: downward POV of khaki pants and black sneakers on grey pavement while walking; add white oval motion doodles around both shoes and text “step by step”.
6. Middle-right: street corner view with a red-brick building, trees, crosswalk, and blue sky; add a thick white cloud doodle along the bottom edge, a white wavy line tracing the rooftop, a small heart, and handwritten text “nice view” with an arrow.
7. Bottom-left: candid full-body/three-quarter shot of the man standing on a sidewalk looking down at his phone, with street signs and a red post box or utility box in the background; add sweeping white line doodles and text “on my way”.
8. Bottom-center: close-up of a white takeaway cup with red straw and large red letters, held while walking; add a white circle around the cup, small accent lines, a cloud-shaped white label at the bottom reading “cheers!”, and a tiny heart.
9. Bottom-right: downward seated or standing POV of sneakers, khaki pants, and dark jacket on asphalt with painted road markings; add a white outline around the shoes, a large hand-drawn road-line shape, a small star, and text “keep going” with an arrow.
Visual style: Realistic candid photography mixed with hand-drawn white marker graphics. Use high-contrast white doodles, casual handwritten lettering, arrows, hearts, sparkles, cloud cutouts, curved lines, and silhouette outlines. Overall mood should be relaxed, aesthetic, urban, and travel-diary-like.
Setting: Use {argument name="city setting" default="a leafy historic brick-building neighborhood with storefronts, road signs, crosswalks, and grey pavement"}. Keep lighting natural and slightly overcast with soft shadows.
Text content: Include these exact 9 handwritten English phrases: “city walk”, “day off”, “getting lost”, “coffee time”, “little guy :)”, “step by step”, “nice view”, “on my way”, “cheers!”, and “keep going”. The street signs may contain small bilingual Chinese/English-style text but should remain secondary and realistic.
Color and mood: Muted navy, khaki, brick red, grey asphalt, soft green trees, white doodles. Make it feel like {argument name="social media mood" default="an effortless weekend city walk travel diary"}.
Constraints: Do not create a polished studio shoot. Avoid extra panels, extra people, heavy filters, neon colors, or excessive text. Keep all doodles white and hand-drawn, integrated naturally over the photos.
