Full prompt
Goal: Create a dramatic vertical historical-warrior poster infographic about {argument name="character name" default="吕布"}, the legendary Three Kingdoms general, combining cinematic fantasy realism with aged Chinese manuscript design.
Canvas: Vertical 3:4 poster, parchment-gray textured background with ink wash stains, dust, smoke, battlefield grit, and faint cracks. Use a high-contrast cinematic composition with the main figure exploding forward from the center.
Main subject: A powerful armored Chinese cavalry general charges directly toward the viewer on a dark chestnut warhorse. The rider wears ornate dark bronze and black lamellar armor with red cloth accents, chains, metal shoulder guards, and an elaborate crown/helmet with two extremely long red pheasant-plume antennae rising high and curving outward. His face is intentionally obscured by a soft rectangular blur/mask while the rest of the image is sharp. He thrusts a massive ornate halberd toward the camera, creating extreme foreground perspective: the weapon blade is huge, blurred by depth of field, and extends from the lower left toward the rider’s hand. The horse has windblown reddish mane, decorated bridle, metal ornaments, tassels, and raised front legs, kicking up mud and smoke.
Left typography: Large black calligraphic Chinese title {argument name="main title" default="吕布"} arranged vertically on the left side, bold brush texture. Beside it place a smaller vertical phrase {argument name="vertical subtitle" default="飞将 · 猛将 · 乱世枭雄"}. Add red seal stamps and a short biography block in Chinese beneath the title, including “三国第一猛将”, “约160年–199年”, and several lines of small serif Chinese text.
Infographic panels: Include exactly 7 semi-transparent parchment event cards around the central rider, each with a thin pale-gold rectangular border, a large two-digit number, Chinese event title, year, small descriptive Chinese lines, and a monochrome sketch-like battle illustration. The 7 visible cards are: 01 “九原出身” with “约160年” near the upper left; 02 “并州骁将” with “184年” near the upper right; 03 “诛董卓” with “189年” at mid-left; 04 “虎牢关之战” with “190年” at mid-right; 05 “辕门射戟” with “191年” at lower left; 06 “下邳之战” with “194年” at lower right; 07 “白门楼殒命” with “199年” at bottom right. Keep the panels slightly tilted in perspective as if floating behind the warrior, partially obscured by smoke and the horse.
Bottom timeline: Add exactly 7 timeline milestones across the bottom edge in muted gold, matching the cards: “约160年 九原出身”, “184年 并州从军”, “189年 诛董卓”, “190年 虎牢关之战”, “191年 辕门射戟”, “194年 下邳之战”, “199年 白门楼殒命”. Use small dots connected by a thin horizontal line, with a subtle decorative flourish centered below.
Visual style: Hyper-detailed cinematic Chinese historical fantasy, realistic armor and horse anatomy, dynamic motion, shallow depth of field, smoky battlefield atmosphere, muted sepia parchment palette with black ink, dark bronze, oxblood red, and pale gold highlights. Make the background panels look like archival sketches printed on old paper.
Constraints: Use Chinese text as visible graphic elements, keep the exact count of 7 event cards and 7 timeline milestones, no modern objects, no logos or watermarks, no extra characters in the foreground, and maintain a poster-like editorial infographic layout.
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.
