Hand-Drawn Narrative Poster Style

Please turn each photo I upload into an independent high-end design poster, no multi-image collages, output each photo separately. The overall layout uses a 3:4 vertical composition, continuing the upper-lower dual-layer logic: the upper part is real photography, and the lower part is a hand-drawn narrative reconstruction based on core imagery and subtext.

The upper part retains the original photo, maintaining the subject's identity, structure, posture, realistic texture, natural lighting, and original color atmosphere, only applying subtle high-end photography color grading to give it an art magazine, independent publication, and exhibition photography quality. To fit the frame, the environmental background can be naturally extended, but the subject must not be stretched, distorted, or changed.

The lower part no longer aims to reproduce the full scene, but extracts the most recognizable subjects, outlines, postures, spatial relationships, and emotional metaphors from the photo, and after understanding the subtext, atmosphere, and meaning of the original image, reconstructs it into a fable-like picture with a hand-drawn narrative feel. Do not completely trace the photo or mechanically copy details, but only retain the most essential and memorable core graphic logic, transforming complex reality into purer, more symbolic image relationships, allowing viewers to recognize the original object at a glance while feeling the hidden emotions, memories, and meanings behind it.

The style of the lower part references the warm paper-based hand-drawn illustration quality you provided: the picture should have a childlike, metaphorical, slightly humorous and improvisational feel, like a travel fable picture book or a private myth map. Moderate imagination and reorganization of the original image are allowed, translating subjects, environments, and details from the real scene into more narrative symbolic elements; it is permitted to re-express the emotions, relationships, or spiritual core of the original image through exaggerated proportions, anthropomorphic meanings, metaphorical scenery, repeated symbols, or naive yet clever composition methods, but always around the same core theme, not becoming a collage of elements.

The composition should be based on large areas of light-colored backgrounds and clear primary-secondary relationships, retaining ample white space, where the blank space serves as air, distance, quietness, and imaginative space. The subject can be concentrated in the lower-middle or a more narratively tensioned position, with only a few supporting landscapes, paths, plants, buildings, objects, or symbolic symbols around it, forming a more professional and aesthetically pleasing layout order through height variations, distance layers, curve guidance, block rhythms, and positive-negative shape relationships. The picture can be like 'a small segment of fantasy growing from reality', having both a sense of story and restrained graphic design awareness.

The overall style uses a hand-drawn flat illustration language: it can be expressed as opaque gouache, pastel, colored pencil, crayon, acrylic, or picture-book coloring with slight paper texture, retaining soft blocks, slightly clumsy outlines, slight handmade errors, and natural material feel. Lines do not need to be too many, but should have moderate hand-drawn traces; shapes are simplified, proportions are cute, details are summarized, both gentle and interesting, avoiding smooth vectors, 3D plastic feel, realistic detailed rendering, and overly neat commercial illustration feel.

The color scheme continues the current logic: overall using soft, transparent, slightly desaturated high-end color series, with light-colored backgrounds and large areas of white space as the base. Use {argument name="色调" default="浅粉蓝、雾蓝、天空蓝"} to create the main atmosphere, then balance with ivory white, cream white, light beige, soft gray-green, architectural neutral colors; a small amount of {argument name="装饰色" default="blush pink、soft peach、dusty rose"} can be added as local highlights, giving the picture more Instagram healing feel, breathability, and refined layers. Avoid dirty gray, overly strong contrast, high-saturation clashing colors, and cheap retro feel.

The text does not preset fixed titles, numbers, locations, or languages, nor does it create menu-style information. Based on the photo's subject, emotion, action, memory, or metaphor, freely generate a very small amount of truly meaningful words, phrases, or fragments, and naturally integrate them into the blank areas through high-end editorial typography. The text should be small, light, restrained, and refined, like poetic annotations or clever voiceovers in independent publications, forming a subtle echo with the picture rather than directly explaining it.

The overall temperament should be like an independent-published art travel picture book or fable visual manual: light colors, white space, warmth, childlike, clever, quiet, humorous, with metaphors and improvisation, while having clear core themes and high-end layout order. Avoid complete realistic landscapes, information overload, overly full subjects, overly solid backgrounds, template poster feel, e-commerce illustration feel, cartoon clichés, over-decoration, and meaningless cute processing.
