Grimm's Fairy Tale Woodcut Poster

Please create a high-end design poster for each of my uploaded photos separately, without combining multiple images. Each photo outputs independently. Use a 3:4 vertical composition overall. The two upper and lower areas must have a strict 1:1 height ratio, each occupying 50% of the canvas, and ensure this approach can adapt to different subjects like people, animals, architecture, still life, natural scenes, etc., not limited to urban themes.

The upper half retains the original photo, preserving the main subject's identity, action, spatial relationship, realistic texture, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere, only applying light advanced photographic color grading to give it the feel of magazine photography and art publications. To fit the aspect ratio, you may naturally extend the sky, ground, or environmental background, but must not stretch, twist, or change the main subject.

The lower half extracts the most recognizable subject, silhouette, pose, and narrative relationship from the photo, and reconstructs it into a fairytale woodblock print-style hand-drawn image. Do not mechanically trace details, but compress the subject into one or two clear large forms, using blunt silhouettes, slightly exaggerated proportions, and a few key edges to retain the original object's identity, action, function, and mood. The composition should extract a large area of low-lightness or high-contrast structural field from the original image content, acting as a container, path, frame, or density layer wrapping the subject; the background should grow like a shell from the original image's space and meaning, forming a structural narrative of obstruction, cropping, engulfment, and partial reveal. Use flat narrative perspective and picture book page-like hierarchy overall, employing overhead compression, lateral movement, frontal framing, path guidance, scale jumps, or edge cropping to organize the reading.

Extract colors from the upper photo, maintaining a clear three-layer relationship: large areas of dark structural color for weight and boundaries, appropriate light colors or white space for breathing, and small areas of high-saturation emotional color for visual routes and narrative signals. The most important information should be concentrated with a few vivid color blocks on faces, poses, paths, functional object points, environmental markers, or narrative focal points, always pressed down by dark structures or light negative shapes, making the image vibrant but not evenly distributed. The hue can adjust with the subject's mood, but the area ratio and lightness order should remain stable.

Lines should only appear for function, path, boundary, texture, and recognition, remaining sparse, hand-drawn, and slightly inaccurate thin lines. All color blocks should maintain a flat treatment, while retaining dry brush, grain, flying white, paper texture, spray dots, and slight overprint misalignment, presenting the handmade feel of screen printing combined with pastel crayons, avoiding realistic light and shadow, complex volume, smooth vector edges, 3D rendering, and plastic textures.

The overall composition is simple, low-detail, and highly recognizable, with dark fields wrapping bright color signals, combining cute narrative with the heaviness of woodblock printing. If the image contains text, it can be processed as small identifiers, object panels, or marginal annotations, in limited quantity, subservient to the graphic structure; the font should be rounded and blunt, with slightly uneven thickness, low density, and a natural handwritten feel, making it part of the image rather than a post-applied label. The overall reference should be fairytale picture books, handmade woodblock prints, editorial illustrations, and art publications, presenting a unified, vivid, and transferable authorial visual language.
