Goal: Create a minimalist editorial food poster that demonstrates reducing a realistic food photo into a clean low-detail illustration while preserving the composition.
Canvas: Vertical poster in a 3:4 aspect ratio, warm off-white paper background, generous margins, quiet Japanese magazine/poster design.
Layout: Divide the poster into exactly 2 main visual panels. The top half contains a realistic rectangular food photograph with a thin off-white border around it. The bottom half contains a simplified vector-style illustration of the same dish, centered and slightly smaller, surrounded by sparse typography and fine registration-mark lines.
Top panel: Show a close-up restaurant photograph of a {argument name="dish name" default="Japanese curry plate"} on a dark glossy tabletop. The dish sits on an oval dark brown ceramic plate viewed from a high three-quarter angle. Include exactly 8 visible food components: 1 large pool of brown curry sauce, 1 mound of white rice mostly hidden under toppings, 1 pile of thin fried shredded onions on the left, 1 heap of sliced pork or beef in the center, 1 scattering of pale garlic chips across the top, 1 scoop of white potato salad on the right, 1 small garnish of chopped greens near the back, and 1 lemon wedge at the back right. Add exactly 1 shiny metal spoon entering from the right edge into the curry. Use natural warm restaurant lighting, realistic texture, shallow shadows, and no people.
Bottom panel illustration: Recreate the same plate as a flattened minimal vector illustration using reduced information and reduced color. Keep the exact same 8 food components and 1 spoon, but simplify them into layered organic shapes with thin light outlines and a limited palette of curry brown, tan, cream, pale yellow, muted green, and soft gray. The oval plate is suggested by a fine gray outline and a dark brown curry shape beneath the toppings. Avoid photorealistic detail; make it look like a tasteful poster illustration.
Text content: Add exactly 5 text blocks. Left of the illustration, small spaced uppercase text reads "JAPANESE" above a large elegant serif title reading "CURRY\nPLATE". Upper right, small serif copy reads "Comfort in\nEvery Layer." Bottom left, small text reads "2024" with a thin horizontal line beside it. Bottom right, small spaced uppercase text reads "MINIMAL\nPOSTER SERIES". Use refined black or dark brown typography.
Graphic details: Add exactly 3 fine-line decorative marks around the lower illustration: 1 thin vertical line near the left of the title area, 1 small crosshair mark on the lower right of the illustrated plate, and 1 subtle horizontal line near the year. Maintain a restrained, premium editorial look with lots of negative space.
Style constraints: Minimal colors, low visual noise, no extra captions, no logos, no watermark, no additional utensils, no extra plates, and no people. The final image should feel like a polished Japanese food poster comparing a realistic curry plate photograph with its simplified illustration.
Analyze the entire composition of the input image. Identify all key subjects present (whether a single person, group/couple, vehicle, or specific object) and their spatial relationships/interactions.
Generate a coherent 3×3 “contact sheet” grid that shows 9 different shots of exactly these subjects within the same environment.
You must adapt standard cinematic shot types to fit the content (for example, if it’s a group, keep the group together; if it’s an object, frame the entire object):
Row 1 (establishing the environment):
Extreme long shot (ELS): the subject appears small within a vast environment.
Long shot (LS): the full subject or group is visible from top to bottom (head to toe / wheels to roof).
Medium long shot (American shot / three-quarter): framed from above the knees (for people) or a 3/4 view (for objects).
Row 2 (core coverage):
4. Medium shot (MS): framed from the waist up (or the central core of an object). Focus on interaction/action.
5. Medium close-up (MCU): framed from the chest up. An intimate framing of the main subject.
6. Close-up (CU): tightly framed on the face or the “front” of the object.
Row 3 (details and angles):
7. Extreme close-up (ECU): intense focus on key features (eyes, hands, signs, textures) with macro-like detail.
8. Low-angle shot (worm’s-eye): look up at the subject from ground level (epic/heroic feeling).
9. High-angle shot (bird’s-eye): look down on the subject from above.
Ensure strict consistency: the same person/object, same clothing, and same lighting must appear in all 9 panels. Depth of field should vary realistically (with background blur in close-up shots).
Create a professional 3×3 cinematic storyboard grid with 9 panels.
The grid should present a specific subject/scene from the input image across a full range of focal lengths.
Top row: wide environmental shot, full-body view, 3/4 cropped (knees-up).
Middle row: waist-up view, chest-up view, face/front close-up.
Bottom row: macro details, low angle, high angle.
All frames must have photo-realistic textures, consistent cinematic color grading, and correct framing tailored to the number and type of subjects or objects being analyzed.
Put this whole text, verbatim, into a photo of a glossy magazine article on a desk, with photos, beautiful typography design, pull quotes, and bold formatting. The text: {argument name="article_text_en" default="[paste the full unformatted article here]"}
Create decorative text based on the word "{argument name="word" default=""}". Write the specified word largely and create decorative text designs associated with the image of the word. Create original designs with flexible ideas, without being constrained by existing fonts. The background should be a single color, white or black, matching the design.
