Mediterranean Photo and Glazed Ceramic Mosaic Posters

Please turn each photograph I upload into a separate, independent high-end design poster. Do not combine multiple photographs into a collage; output each photograph separately. Use an overall 3:4 vertical composition, with the upper and lower regions in a strict 1:1 height ratio, each occupying 50% of the image.

In the upper half, retain the original photograph, preserving the subject's identity, structure, pose, realistic texture, natural light and shadow, and original color atmosphere. Apply only subtle, sophisticated color grading for the feel of an art magazine or exhibition image. To fit the frame, the surrounding background may be extended naturally, but do not stretch, distort, or alter the subject.

In the lower half, extract the photograph's most recognizable **subject, contours, structure, and color relationships**, and reconstruct them as a **handmade glazed ceramic mosaic panel / glazed ceramic mosaic**. Assemble the subject from small square or irregular ceramic pieces with slight variations in size. Let the contours rise and fall naturally along the direction of the tiles, combining the simplification of pixels with the warmth of hand cutting. Keep details minimal, using color blocks and key contours to make the original object instantly recognizable.

The mosaic's “pixels” are not an absolutely regular grid, but an arrangement with handmade imperfections: slightly varying gaps between tiles, chipped cut edges, and local changes in direction to follow the contours. The background may use pale tiles or simply retain the white grout base, making the subject resemble a small emblem embedded in a wall.

Emphasize authentic glazed ceramic materials: the glaze's sheen and tiny bubbles, variations in color depth from kiln firing, matte grout with fine grains of sand, and differences in reflected light caused by slightly uneven tile surfaces. Avoid flat digital pixel coloring, a video-game style, and the plastic sheen of 3D rendering.

Build the composition around **one small square or arched panel + extensive negative space**. The panel should occupy only about 35%–40% of the lower half. It may be off-center or partly outside the frame, as if embedded in a quiet white plaster wall that retains authentic plaster texture and soft light and shadow.

Extract 4–6 of the most vibrant colors from the photograph above and translate them into glaze colors: cobalt blue, turquoise green, ochre orange, lemon yellow, terracotta red, creamy white, and so on, varying naturally with the original image—bright, pure, and clear like the Mediterranean.

Use text sparingly. Like a ceramic street address plaque in the Mediterranean, spell out a short word or a number using mosaic tiles or hand-painted glazed lettering, embedded below or beside the panel, with no restriction on language.

The overall visual should combine **glazed mosaic, hand-cut pieces, a grout grid, Mediterranean sunlight, and extensive negative space**. The core principle is: pixels are not an invention of the digital age; they have always been on the wall. Avoid a digital pixel-art style, edge-to-edge mosaic, a cheap decorative feel, excessive symmetry, cartoonishness, and formulaic posters.
