Vertical 2:3 Instagram travel poster for [LOCATION], part of a collectible handcrafted travel-art series. No title, headline, slogan, or caption anywhere in the image.
Style: Handcrafted diorama — plasticine clay, crochet, layered papercraft, textured handmade paper, subtle embroidery. Warm, tactile, editorial, premium. Must read as physically made, not digitally rendered.
Hero traveler (35–40% of frame): Young female traveler seated on a stone wall/culturally fitting ledge, facing viewer, warm smile. Face/hands: matte plasticine clay with fingerprints and handcrafted imperfections. Outfit: entirely crochet/yarn in [LOCATION]'s textile palette — crochet shoes, woven bag, one accessory only. Contemporary traveler, not costume caricature.
Landscape (secondary focal point): One single most-iconic [LOCATION] papercraft view — 2–3 elements max, torn/cut paper terrain, paper architecture and vegetation, visible fiber texture, layered shadow. (Single-landmark simplicity has outperformed busier multi-landmark composites.)
Sky: Sumi-e/shan-shui style ink-wash and watercolor on handmade paper — soft brush clouds, muted light, minimal birds, generous negative space.
Right-side Polaroids (≤18–20% of frame): Exactly 3, vertical: landmark, natural landscape, local food — all in the same handcrafted materials (never photographic), cream frames, deckled edges, minimal washi tape.
Bottom info strip: Torn cream paper strip with only: hand-drawn outline map + heart marker, coordinates, capital, language, time zone. Compact hand-inked icons, editorial type — no paragraphs or slogans.
Doodles: 3–4 max, restrained — botanical motif, compass, dashed route, mini architecture sketch, one regional symbol, passport stamp, or kraft luggage tag labeled [LOCATION].
Flow: Traveler → landscape → Polaroids → info strip.
Palette: One tight story — cream, kraft brown, one dominant location-accent hue, muted green, sun-faded earth tone. Max 2 accent colors.
Lighting: Warm golden-hour diorama light; shadows revealing paper thickness, yarn loops, clay fingerprints, torn fiber.
Excludes: Glossy CGI/3D render · photorealistic human/photography · title/headline/slogan/excess text · duplicated landmarks · more than one cultural accessory/symbol · incorrect map · illegible info panel · clutter.
