Create a refined wide landscape illustration of [CITY/SUBJECT], naturally featuring [ICONIC LANDMARK] as the main recognizable visual anchor. CORE STYLE: Depict [SUBJECT] as a calm, elegant, highly stylized scene in a toned-down pastel paper-collage poster style. The scene should feel minimal, clean, poetic, modern, cultured, leisurely, and softly cheerful rather than realistic. COMPOSITION: Use a spacious horizontal composition. Place [MAIN SUBJECT] as the central focus, clearly recognizable through its iconic [DISTINCTIVE FEATURES] rising above the layered scene. Surround it with simplified [CONTEXTUAL ELEMENTS]. Reinterpret in highly stylized illustrated forms using clean geometric shapes, layered color planes, soft curves, crisp silhouettes, and paper-like cutout forms. Avoid photorealism. VISUAL ELEMENTS: Include minimal charming details: simplified forms, tiny expressive people for scale, small architectural/environmental accents, organic elements (trees, plants), calm open sky with generous breathing space, clean horizontal layered divisions suggesting depth and atmosphere. COLOR PALETTE (Toned-Down Pastels): Soft sky blue, hazy blue-gray, pale cobalt, muted sage green, powder mint, warm cream, light beige, pale stone gray, dusty coral, soft peach, muted yellow, off-white, very small accents of navy or charcoal. [Add subject-specific accent colors as needed] TACTILE QUALITY: The image should feel tactile and handmade, like carefully arranged colored paper and gouache-painted poster board. Add subtle paper grain, matte printed texture, soft raised edges, delicate embossing, slight cut-paper shadows, gentle surface roughness. Keep surface refined and minimal, not messy. VISUAL LANGUAGE: Minimal paper collage, pastel travel poster, flat graphic shapes, subtle 3D paper relief, clean silhouettes, simplified architecture, soft matte texture, crisp color fields, gentle shadows, minimal linework, refined editorial illustration, modern [cultural context] poster mood. Wide landscape format, balanced negative space, strong graphic layering, clear focal area, simplified zones arranged harmoniously, airy composed and visually restful. LIGHTING & MOOD: Bright soft daylight, clean atmosphere, gentle shadows, warm relaxed tone, cultured and optimistic mood, quiet and sophisticated travel-poster feeling. TYPOGRAPHY (Upper-left corner): Main title '[CITY/SUBJECT NAME]' in geometric uppercase sans-serif font with wide letter-spacing, solid white color. Below: smaller native text '[Local Language · Translation]' and English subtext '[LANDMARK/SUBTITLE]', all in matching white, left-aligned, thin stroke weights with airy spacious tracking. AVOID: Photorealism, realistic photography, over-detailed buildings, heavy outlines, messy brushwork, neon cyberpunk style, dark gloomy lighting, excessive gradients, crowded scenes, readable signage, logos, watermarks. FINAL RESULT: A polished minimal pastel paper-collage landscape illustration of [SUBJECT], with [ICONIC ELEMENT] as the main recognizable visual anchor, featuring tactile paper texture, soft shadows, clean geometric color blocking, generous negative space, and a refined modern travel-illustration mood. ===================================== VARIABLE REPLACEMENT GUIDE: [CITY/SUBJECT] = Target city or subject [ICONIC LANDMARK] = Main recognizable landmark [DISTINCTIVE FEATURES] = Key identifying characteristics [CONTEXTUAL ELEMENTS] = Supporting environmental details [cultural context] = Cultural/regional context (e.g., Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French) [SUBJECT-SPECIFIC COLORS] = Custom accent colors (cherry blossoms: blush pink, lavender fields: soft lavender, etc.) Images

Style Notes

Poster
Single-image layout designed to be read at a glance: dominant visual, title-friendly composition, high contrast for print or thumbnail.
3D Render
CGI look — smooth surfaces, controlled global illumination, and depth that reads like a Blender/Cinema 4D render instead of a photograph.
Illustration
Hand-drawn or digital-painting aesthetics — visible strokes, stylized shapes and colors, deliberately not photoreal.
Photo
Asks the model for photorealistic output — natural lighting, believable skin and materials, camera-like depth of field — rather than illustration or 3D looks.
Typography
Text is part of the artwork. Modern models like Nano Banana Pro can render legible styled lettering, but keep the exact wording short and quoted in the prompt.
Logo / Icon
Symbol-first design — simple geometry that survives being scaled down, flat color, strong silhouette. Expect to vectorize the output before real use.
Minimalist
Few elements, generous negative space, restrained palette — the model is told to leave things out, which makes composition errors much less likely.
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.
Character Design
A character presented for reference: readable silhouette, costume and prop details, often multiple angles or expressions in one sheet.
