Monochrome Halftone Print Poster Design

Please create an independent high-end design poster for each photo I upload, without multi-image collages, outputting each photo separately. The overall layout should use a 3:4 vertical composition, with the upper and lower areas strictly 1:1 in height, each occupying 50% of the frame.

The upper half retains the original photo, maintaining the main subject structure, authentic textures, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere, only with minor high-end photography color grading to give it the texture of art magazines and exhibition photography. To adapt to the frame, the sky, ground, or environmental background can be naturally extended, but the main subject must not be stretched, distorted, or altered.

The lower half extracts the most recognizable **main subjects, silhouettes, poses, and narrative relationships** from the photo, compressing complex information into a single visual anchor, reconstructing them into minimalist screenprint and halftone posters. Do not trace the photo, nor add rich illustration details, only retain one most critical shape, action, or spatial relationship, so that the main subject can be identified at a glance with minimal information.

Composition follows "**one main subject, one direction, one spatial relationship**". The main subject usually remains at a smaller scale, using large white space to create a sense of distance and poetry; based on the original image's own relationships, only choose the most natural structure: horizontal extension, vertical extension, isolated suspension, outward dissipation, or from shallow to deep, not using multiple composition techniques simultaneously. Use a horizon line, boundary, shadow, or halftone band to establish space, letting the white space itself become the main component of the image.

Color palette does not directly copy the photo, but extracts comprehensive color temperature, brightness, and emotion from the original, re归纳 into **paper base color + main ink color + mist layer color** limited spot color system. Use ivory white, warm gray, or natural paper color for large white spaces, one calm and weighty composite color as main ink color, then use lighter, grayer colors from the same family to represent air, distance, or layers. Overall controlled to 2–3 colors, establishing hierarchy through color area, brightness, and halftone density, allowing very small areas of spot color only when there is clear narrative meaning.

All mist, distance, shadows, dissipation, and spatial transitions use **halftone dots from dense to sparse naturally fading**, not using digital blurring or ordinary gradients. Preserve paper grain, screen printing ink, slight misregistration, and uneven ink application, making the image look like truly printed on old paper as an art print.

**Retain a small decorative text system with high-end editorial feel.** Not limited to location names, but generate extremely short English titles from the photo's theme, emotion, time, action, texture, distance, or metaphor, paired with miniature subtitles, numbers, years, chapter numbers, coordinate-style numbers, archive markers, or one subtle English short phrase. The copy can be slightly abstract, literary, and curatorial in tone, not needing to fully explain the image, for example, about concepts like "distance, stillness, passage, echo, boundary, time, light, traces", making it feel like editorial annotations in art books, architecture journals, or independent exhibitions.

Text itself must participate in composition, not be pasted later on blank spaces. Can have small text **arranged along the horizon, fitting the main subject outline, becoming a vertical visual axis, crossing halftone boundaries, hidden in negative forms, or having occlusion, interweaving, disconnection, and alignment relationships with the main subject**; also can establish rhythm with very thin vertical lines, short horizontal lines, numbers, page-number-like symbols, and large white spaces. Allow a word to be split, placed vertically, with expanded letter-spacing, or partially covered by graphics, but always maintain reading order.

Text hierarchy remains restrained: **one extremely short main title + 1–3 sets of extremely small auxiliary text is sufficient**. Font references high-end art publications and modernist editorial design, using restrained sans-serif, gentle serif, or minimalist narrow fonts, creating refinement through extreme font size contrast, wide letter-spacing, thin weight, superscript/subscript, small capitals, and asymmetric typography. Text color unifies with main ink color or mist layer color, possibly with slight misregistration and ink grain, so text and graphics belong to the same print, not a digital typesetting overlay.

Overall pursues **minimal elements, maximal white space, minimal main subject, strong order, and subtle yet clever text intervention**, presenting a quiet, lonely, vast, subtle, poetic, intellectual, and collectible feel. Avoid complex compositions, multiple focal points, meaningless decorations, large titles covering the image, commercial advertising copy, ordinary gradients, cheap vintage filters, and template feel.
