Photo on Top, Playful Illustration Below, Split Down the Middle
The top half is a color-graded real photo; the bottom half turns into a whimsical hand-drawn illustration in the style of Bauhaus meets a children's book.
✍️ The lettering is the real technical work here — the handwritten type needs to stay restrained, its stroke weight can't compete with the illustration's linework, or the playfulness below gets swallowed by the text. Getting the white-space ratio right is what keeps the top and bottom halves from feeling cramped.

Turn each uploaded photo into a 3:4 poster split cleanly in two. Top half: the original photo, graded like an editorial shoot. Bottom half: a naive, lighthearted, vintage hand-drawn illustration that riffs on the photo above it. Blend Bauhaus composition with a children's-book feel and loose fashion-sketch linework -- simplify the shapes and exaggerate proportions just slightly, enough to read as funny. Keep the palette high-brightness, low-saturation pastel, built from watercolor, pencil, and crayon textures, with generous white space and deliberately 'imperfect' printed edges. Letter it in a vintage hand-written style, using restrained fonts that sit quietly inside the illustration rather than shouting over it. The whole vibe: playful, chic, and a little romantic.
