PASTEL PAPER-COLLAGE STYLE META PROMPT
=====================================
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.
