Retro Taiwan Travel Collage Poster

Goal: Create a vertical retro travel-poster collage for a family trip to {argument name="destination" default="Taiwan / Taipei / Jiufen"}, combining bold typography, risograph texture, manga character art, food cutouts, tickets, maps, and landmark photography.

Canvas: Tall vertical poster, roughly 9:16 aspect ratio, cream paper background with distressed print grain, halftone dots, imperfect ink registration, rough collage edges, and a limited palette of vermilion red, deep navy blue, teal green, cream, and small black accents.

Layout: Use enormous cropped red block letters spelling {argument name="main background word" default="TAIWAN"} across the entire upper background, so large that the letters run off the edges. Layer a teal-blue Taipei 101 skyscraper near the upper left-center, overlapping the letters. Add a white Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall photo block at lower left of the skyline area, a vertical night-market lantern street photo in the center, a small tea-table still life near the upper right-center, and a large blue Jiufen night street photo panel on the mid-right. Place a pale green street map diagonally across the middle-left, partly under the character and food. Add a tilted boarding-pass/ticket collage in the lower-left quadrant. Put the illustrated character in the lower center foreground, standing over a dark navy ground shape.

Main subject: A cute manga-style young traveler girl seen full body from behind but turning her head toward the viewer. She has short brown bob hair, oversized round glasses, soft curious expression, and wears a fluffy white sheep-like hat with curled ram-horn shapes. Outfit: simple oversized white short-sleeve dress or smock coat, white socks, chunky white lace-up boots, small backpack straps visible. Keep the drawing mostly cream and navy linework with light halftone shading, matching the printed collage aesthetic.

Counted visible travel and food collage elements: Include exactly 6 landmark/photo/map/ticket elements: 1 Taipei 101 skyscraper, 1 Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall image, 1 night-market lantern alley image, 1 tea table still life, 1 Jiufen night street image, and 1 Taipei street map. Include exactly 5 food/drink cutouts in the lower half: 1 red bamboo steamer of soup dumplings, 1 bowl of noodles, 1 mound of shaved ice dessert, 1 plastic cup of bubble tea with straw, and 1 folded paper snack cup containing a stuffed bun or sandwich.

Text content: Add vertical dark-blue Japanese text near the skyscraper reading {argument name="vertical Japanese location text" default="台北／九份"}. On the right side, set stacked itinerary text in narrow uppercase navy: “3 NIGHTS”, “4 DAYS”, “FAMILY”, a circled “5”, then “EAT”, “WALK”, “TEA”, separated by thin horizontal rules. On the tilted ticket at lower left, include “TYO TOKYO →”, large “TPE”, “TAIPEI”, “SONGSHAN AIRPORT”, a tiny airplane icon, and “3 NIGHTS 4 DAYS”. At bottom right, include a small list in navy uppercase: “TAIPEI 101”, “CHIANG KAI-SHEK MEMORIAL HALL”, “NATIONAL PALACE MUSEUM”, “NIGHT MARKET”, “JIUFEN”, “TAIWAN TEA”.

Visual style: Japanese editorial cover design, MiriCanvas-style travel zine, vintage screenprint, risograph poster, collage with transparent color overlays, high contrast, weathered ink, halftone shading, slightly misaligned cyan/red layers, playful yet sophisticated.

Constraints: Keep all text legible enough to read, avoid photorealistic rendering of the character, avoid modern glossy gradients, no watermark, no extra people, no additional food items beyond the 5 counted cutouts, and maintain the bold red TAIWAN typography dominating the composition.
