A Series Travel Poster Template with a Locked Composition
Swap the place, keep the skeleton: left foliage, curved promenade, central landmark, cream type panel below.
✍️ The dot-separated "composition lock" list at the end is the real key to a series: it compresses the long paragraphs above into one line of skeleton the model isn't allowed to move. To make a series, first split the variable (the landmark) from the constants (the spatial relationships), then fill things in.

Make a premium illustrated travel poster of [LOCATION] in an exact 4:5 vertical format. It belongs to a cohesive global poster series, so the composition stays fixed for every destination; only the landmarks, architecture, landscape, vegetation and cultural details change.
COMPOSITION
The illustration fills 82–85% of the sheet, and the bottom is reserved for a warm cream typography panel.
- Dense vegetation frames the left edge, with one tall natural anchor in the upper-left.
- A curved promenade sweeps from the lower-left toward the center, with globe lamps, dark decorative railing and a small strolling couple.
- A broad water or open-space field fills the lower-middle; use authentic boats where appropriate.
- The single most iconic landmark of [LOCATION] is the central hero, with the clearest silhouette and strongest focus.
- One major horizontal landmark sits behind or beside it for balance.
- Behind them, a simplified layered local skyline or landscape built from 6–12 major forms.
- One distinctive tall local landmark near the upper-center acts as a vertical counterweight.
- The upper sky stays open, bright and uncluttered, with 2–4 soft clouds, a few birds and a warm sun in the upper-right.
VISUAL FLOW
Vegetation → promenade/couple → water/open space → central landmark → horizontal landmark → sky/sun → typography. Secondary elements must never compete with the hero.
STYLE
A sophisticated, contemporary travel-poster illustration: clean vector shapes with a subtle gouache or screen-print texture, crisp dark-navy outlines, softly shaded color blocks and slight organic imperfection, with a refined editorial feel and premium collectible quality. No photorealism, 3D, CGI, glossy rendering or generic clip-art.
COLOR
A harmonious, destination-specific palette of dark navy outlines, natural greens, cool environmental tones, warm architectural tones and one restrained warm accent.
AUTHENTICITY
Use only genuinely recognizable features of [LOCATION]. Favor iconic silhouettes and accuracy over excess detail, and do not invent landmarks.
TYPOGRAPHY
In the bottom cream panel:
[LOCATION] — large, elegant uppercase serif
a thin horizontal rule
[COUNTRY / REGION] — small, widely spaced uppercase text.
COMPOSITION LOCK

Hold this structure identical for every destination: adapt the content, never the composition.
