Prompt
Create a premium commercial-quality vertical 3:4 layered paper-cut collage illustration of [CITY], [COUNTRY], celebrating the harmonious coexistence of the city's historic heritage and contemporary urban identity. Automatically select a believable viewpoint where old and new architecture naturally coexist within one continuous landscape. Let authentic historic districts, traditional buildings, streets, rooftops, bridges, waterfronts, hillsides, plazas, local architectural details, and cultural elements dominate the foreground and middle ground, while representative modern architecture appears subtly and naturally in the distant background. Compose the city as a handcrafted multi-layer paper diorama built from carefully cut and stacked matte papers. Use overlapping paper layers, repeated rooflines, streets, bridges, rivers, canals, coastlines, hills, terraces, pathways, structural rhythms, and atmospheric spacing to connect the entire city into one coherent composition. Avoid a disconnected landmark collage. VISUAL STYLE • layered paper-cut collage • visible paper edges and thickness • delicate stacked shadows • hand-cut organic contours • matte gouache paper texture • subtle paper grain and fiber texture • soft handmade irregularities • museum-quality handcrafted travel poster aesthetic COLOR PALETTE Use a restrained color palette inspired by [CITY]. Colors should be: • lightly toned down • pastel • airy • elegant • softly weathered • low saturation Avoid vivid or highly saturated colors. COMPOSITION • vertical 3:4 format • open sky occupies 40–50% of composition • generous negative space • simplified city silhouettes • selective architectural detail only • depth created through paper layering rather than realistic perspective • clean foreground, middle ground, and background separation EVERYDAY LIFE DETAILS Include only a few tiny signs of life: • one or two pedestrians • a small café table • local transportation • a bicycle, boat, tram, ferry, train, or vehicle appropriate to the city • a few birds in the sky Keep all figures very small and secondary. TRAVEL JOURNAL DOODLES Integrate subtle white hand-drawn travel-journal doodles: • arrows • route lines • stars • location pins • tiny local motifs • transportation notes • architectural annotations • handwritten marks Keep doodles sparse, delicate, and secondary. TYPOGRAPHY Place "[CITY]" in the upper-right sky area using elegant hand-lettered travel-journal typography. The text should feel lightly drawn onto the paper surface and never dominate the composition. LIGHTING Warm late-afternoon sunlight. Long soft shadows between paper layers. Calm nostalgic atmosphere. Refined editorial travel-poster mood. OVERALL FEELING minimal airy handcrafted poetic cultured timeless warm quiet premium collectible destination poster AVOID photorealism, glossy CGI, 3D rendering, plastic textures, hard digital edges, excessive detail, crowded tourists, HDR lighting, lens blur, realistic camera effects, oversized landmarks, heavy typography, souvenir-poster clichés, disconnected landmark montage.

Style Notes
- Photo
- Asks the model for photorealistic output — natural lighting, believable skin and materials, camera-like depth of field — rather than illustration or 3D looks.
- Illustration
- Hand-drawn or digital-painting aesthetics — visible strokes, stylized shapes and colors, deliberately not photoreal.
- 3D Render
- CGI look — smooth surfaces, controlled global illumination, and depth that reads like a Blender/Cinema 4D render instead of a photograph.
- Poster
- Single-image layout designed to be read at a glance: dominant visual, title-friendly composition, high contrast for print or thumbnail.
- Product Shot
- E-commerce style product photography: the item isolated on a clean or styled surface, even studio light, true-to-material color.
- Hero Portrait
- A single dominant subject shot like a key visual — tight framing, strong eye contact or pose, background simplified so the character carries the image.
- Fashion Look
- Editorial fashion styling: garment detail and fabric texture take priority, with model poses and lighting borrowed from magazine shoots.
- Architecture
- Buildings and structures with believable perspective and materials — wide lenses, strong leading lines, attention to light on facades.
- Minimalist
- Few elements, generous negative space, restrained palette — the model is told to leave things out, which makes composition errors much less likely.
- Luxury
- Premium cues: rich materials (marble, silk, brushed metal), subdued gold/black palettes, and restrained, spacious composition.
