GPT Image 2.5 prompt turns a photo into a split editorial poster
A GPT Image 2.5 prompt keeps the original photo in the top half and redraws the scene below as a four-color handmade paper illustration in an art-book cover style.


Made with GPT Image 2.5 on @itsPolloAI Prompt: Transform the uploaded photo into a premium editorial poster in a strict 3:4 vertical format, split horizontally into two equal halves. Top half: Preserve the original photograph faithfully—subjects, identities, poses, clothing, objects, lighting, colors, and natural textures. Apply only subtle editorial color grading. Bottom half: Reimagine the scene’s most recognizable elements as a small, centered illustration with a handmade paper aesthetic. Use delicate, imperfect lines, bold flat acrylic-like shapes, organic edges, subtle paper grain, and a maximum of four colors drawn from the photograph. The illustration should occupy just 10–20% of this half, surrounded by generous warm off-white space. Minimal editorial typography is optional. Aim for a quiet, poetic, refined independent art-book cover. Avoid cartoon, watercolor, colored-pencil, 3D, glossy, cluttered, or overtly commercial styles.
