Minimalist Black and White Outbound Illustration

Please create each uploaded photo as an independent high-end design poster, no multi-image collage, output each photo separately. Overall adopt {argument name="composition ratio" default="3:4 vertical composition"}, with the upper and lower areas strictly 1:1 in height, each occupying 50% of the image.

The upper half retains the original photo, maintaining the main structure, real texture, natural light and shadow, and original color atmosphere, only performing minor high-end photography color grading to give it an art magazine, independent publication, and exhibition photography texture. To adapt to the frame, the environmental background can be naturally extended, but the subject must not be stretched, distorted, or changed.

The lower half extracts the most recognizable subject, silhouette, posture, and narrative relationship from the photo, restructured into minimalist black-and-white hand-drawn editorial illustration. Using a horizontal or vertical pure black rectangular color field as the main visual field, allowing the subject to mostly exist within the rectangle, while selecting the most recognizable head, top contour, branches and leaves, roof, limbs, object edges, or other key structures to naturally break through the rectangle boundary, forming a clear “boundary-breaking” relationship. The subject is not pasted on the black rectangle but appears to protrude, pass through, or grow from the black space, making the rectangle both background and part of the composition.

The subject retains only the most necessary outer contour, posture, and key structures, expressed with {argument name="line style" default="black hand-drawn lines + white negative space + a few gray blocks"}. Lines like ink pen, needle-point pen, or photocopied line art, with slight variations in thickness, edges with slight trembling, breaks, repeated sketching, and manual errors, not pursuing smooth vector precision; internal details are minimal, using only a few strokes for expression, structural lines, broken lines, or partial shadows to establish recognizability. Whether person, animal, plant, architecture, object, or landscape, prioritize finding one most characterful part as the boundary-breaking focus.

Composition emphasizes the conflict between the geometric order of the black rectangle and the subject's free contour. The rectangle serves as a stable, heavy visual base, with the subject creating vitality through asymmetrical positioning, partial cropping, and boundary-breaking; large white paper surface blank surrounds the black area, making black, white, and gray form a strong yet restrained area relationship. Auxiliary structures can be transformed into a few straight lines, slanted planes, platforms, edges, or geometric slices, but must not form a second subject.

Text establishes a light black-and-white editorial micro-typography system, extracting a {argument name="title content" default="short English title"} from the photo's action, emotion, state, or metaphor, accompanied by 1–3 sets of tiny annotations, numbers, status words, or short phrases. Text can be close to the black rectangle edge, hidden in negative space, arranged along the boundary-breaking direction, or aligned and offset with the subject's contour; using black handwriting, thin sans-serif, or restrained serif fonts, keeping a small scale, making text like an illustrator's annotations and editorial marks, rather than commercial titles.

Overall presents a visual quality of pure white paper × black geometric color field × naive hand-drawn lines × subject boundary-breaking × minimal gray tones, humorous, restrained, clever, slightly quirky, and with an art publication feel. Avoid colorful cartoons, complex scenes, smooth vector outlines, realistic light-dark, 3D texture, pure black silhouettes, regular iconification, and template-style centered composition.
