Layered paper-cut city travel poster

ASPECT RATIO: 4:5 VERTICAL

[CITY NAME] = [CITY / COUNTRY]

Create a premium 4:5 vertical travel-art poster for [CITY NAME], inspired by the reference images. Use a refined handcrafted paper-cut / layered 3D architectural illustration style with clean editorial composition and subtle dimensional depth.

CORE CONCEPT:
Create a stylized miniature world of [CITY NAME] using its most recognizable real landmarks, architecture, monuments, streets, bridges, waterways, and cultural details. Keep landmarks recognizable while translating them into elegant layered paper sculptures.

CITY NAME INTEGRATION:
Embed the exact text “[CITY NAME]” naturally into the artwork as a major graphic element. Make the typography physically integrated into the paper-cut environment rather than a separate caption. Use elegant architectural typography that complements the landmarks. Keep it clearly readable, correctly spelled, and balanced within the composition.

VISUAL STYLE:
• Handcrafted paper-cut illustration
• Layered cardstock / sculpted paper
• Subtle 3D depth
• Clean geometric silhouettes
• Soft bevels and realistic paper edges
• Delicate cast shadows
• Sophisticated editorial travel-poster aesthetic
• Stylized yet architecturally accurate landmarks
• No photorealistic rendering

COMPOSITION:
Create a spacious vertical composition with generous upper negative space. Feature 2–4 iconic landmarks of [CITY NAME] as the main focus, arranged at different depths and scales.

Add atmospheric paper-cut elements where appropriate:
• Circular sun/moon
• Minimal sculpted clouds
• Layered trees and foliage
• Bridges, streets, plazas, or waterfronts
• A recognizable local vehicle or boat
• Subtle distant city silhouettes

Use layered geometric ground surfaces, roads, plaza patterns, or flowing paper-cut water shapes in the foreground to create depth and visual rhythm.

COLOR PALETTE:
Use a restrained palette inspired by the references: warm ivory/off-white, dusty blue, deep navy, soft teal, terracotta, warm beige, muted gold, plus subtle accents reflecting [CITY NAME].

Keep colors cohesive and slightly desaturated.

LIGHTING & DEPTH:
Soft studio illumination from the upper left with delicate shadows beneath each paper layer. Add subtle ambient occlusion, dimensional edges, gentle highlights, and tactile cardstock texture. Make it feel like a professionally crafted miniature paper diorama photographed against a clean studio background.

ARCHITECTURAL ACCURACY:
Use real, recognizable landmarks from [CITY NAME]. Preserve their distinctive silhouettes, domes, towers, columns, façades, statues, bridges, and architectural proportions while translating them into the simplified paper-cut style.

IMPORTANT:
The artwork must immediately communicate “[CITY NAME]” through both its architecture and integrated typography. The city name should feel like a natural part of the physical poster design.

OUTPUT:
Premium 4:5 vertical travel poster, balanced composition, elegant negative space, tactile layered-paper construction, integrated typography, crisp details, polished editorial design, high-end collectible travel-art aesthetic.

AVOID: Photorealism, generic or inaccurate landmarks, clutter, oversaturation, flat vector graphics, cartoon/anime styling, plastic 3D, distorted architecture, misspelled or illegible text, duplicate elements, excessive text, watermarks, logos, and AI artifacts.
