Prompt
Please create a vibrant, child-like crayon-style vertical (9:16) illustration titled “[[City Name]] Travel Journal.”
The artwork should look as if it were drawn by a curious child using colorful crayons, featuring a soft, warm light-toned background (such as pale yellow), combined with bright reds, blues, greens, and other cheerful colors to create a cozy, playful travel atmosphere.
I. Main Scene: Travel-Journal Style Route Map
In the center of the illustration, draw a “winding, zigzagging travel route” with arrows and dotted lines connecting multiple locations.
The route should automatically generate recommended attractions based on [[Number of Days]]:
Example structure (auto-filled with [[City Name]]-related content):
- “Stop 1: {Attraction 1 + short fun description}”
- “Stop 2: {Attraction 2 + short fun description}”
- “Stop 3: {Attraction 3 + short fun description}”
- …
- “Final Stop: {Local signature food or souvenir + warm closing remark}”
Rules:
- If no number of days is provided, default to a 1-day highlight itinerary.
II. Surrounding Playful Elements (Auto-adapt to the City)
Add many cute doodles and child-like decorative elements around the route, such as:
1. Adorable travel characters
- A child holding a local snack
- A little adventurer with a backpack
2. Q-style hand-drawn iconic landmarks
- “{City Landmark 1}”
- “{City Landmark 2}”
- “{City Landmark 3}”
3. Funny signboards
- “Don’t get lost!”
- “Crowds ahead!”
- “Yummy food this way!”
(Auto-adjust contextually for the city)
4. Sticker-style short phrases
- “[[City Name]] travel memories unlocked!”
- “[[City Name]] food adventure!”
- “Where to next?”
5. Cute icons of local foods
- “{Local Food 1}”
- “{Local Food 2}”
- “{Local Food 3}”
6. Childlike exclamations
- “I didn’t know [[City Name]] was so fun!”
- “I want to come again!”
III. Overall Art Style Requirements
- Crayon / children’s hand-drawn travel diary style
- Bright, warm, colorful palette
- Cozy but full and lively composition
- Emphasize the joy of exploring
- All text should be in a cute handwritten font
- Make the entire page feel like a young child’s fun travel-journal entry

Style Notes
- Illustration
- Hand-drawn or digital-painting aesthetics — visible strokes, stylized shapes and colors, deliberately not photoreal.
- Cartoon
- Simplified shapes, exaggerated proportions and expressions, flat or cel-shaded color — reads instantly and stays consistent across characters.
- Cute & Playful
- Rounded shapes, big eyes, candy palettes, and toy-like proportions — the visual language of mascots and sticker packs.
- Soft Light
- Diffused, low-contrast lighting — gentle shadows and flattering skin tones, like window light or an overcast day.
- Vibrant Colors
- High saturation and bold color blocking — eye-catching in feeds, but pair with simple composition to avoid visual noise.
- Portrait Orientation
- Vertical aspect ratio (e.g. 3:4, 9:16) — the native format for phone screens, Stories, and app store screenshots.
- Social Media Post
- Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
- Blog Illustration
- Editorial spot art: a clear concept metaphor, friendly palette, and enough negative space to sit beside an article headline.
