Goal: Create a dramatic vintage editorial poster about the disastrous 1859 Leipzig premiere of a Brahms piano concerto, in a bold historical collage style.

Canvas: Vertical 4:5 poster, aged cream paper background with slight stains and print texture, high contrast black, ivory, vivid cobalt blue, and a thin red accent line.

Layout: Left side dominated by huge stacked Spanish headline text in ultra-condensed bold black sans-serif, reading {argument name="headline text" default="SOLO TRES PERSONAS APLAUDIERON"}. Place the headline in 3 lines: “SOLO TRES”, “PERSONAS”, “APLAUDIERON”. Add a thin red underline beneath the last headline line. Below it, add a smaller cobalt-blue location/date line reading {argument name="location date" default="LEIPZIG, 1859"}. Bottom-left corner shows a small white page marker reading {argument name="page marker" default="1/4"}.

Main subject: On the right half, place a large engraved black-and-white portrait of {argument name="composer" default="Johannes Brahms"}, shown from the chest up, serious and brooding, facing slightly left, with wavy swept hair, Victorian jacket, white shirt, and bow tie. The portrait should look like an antique etching cut out from paper, with a pale irregular border around it.

Collage elements: Include exactly 4 main visual collage elements besides the portrait: 1) a black-and-white antique concert hall interior photo in the upper right, cropped rectangular, showing ornate balconies, columns, ceiling decoration, and chandelier; 2) a close-up strip of piano keys in the lower left, angled diagonally; 3) torn sheet music across the lower center, tilted and partly overlapping the piano keys; 4) a cobalt-blue angular paper shape behind the lower center figures and sheet music. Include exactly 3 small black silhouetted people standing on the blue shape near the lower center, all clapping, spaced evenly, representing the only three applauding attendees.

Typography and style: Use brutalist poster typography, tall condensed block letters, slightly imperfect ink edges, distressed offset printing, halftone dots, photocopied engraving texture, torn-paper collage edges, and a documentary music-history mood. The composition should feel like a magazine carousel cover or historical YouTube essay thumbnail, with strong visual hierarchy and no extra decorative text.

Constraints: Preserve exactly the visible text elements and counts: 1 large headline, 1 red underline, 1 blue location/date label, 1 page marker, 1 composer portrait, 1 concert hall photo, 1 piano-key image, 1 sheet-music fragment, 1 blue angular shape, and exactly 3 applauding silhouettes. Do not add logos, watermarks, captions, or additional people.

SairahGPT Image 2
Create a 1:1 square, ultra-realistic overhead photograph based on the uploaded selfie. The selfie is the sole reference for the person's identity. Preserve the same recognizable adult face, natural facial proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, original expression, visible clothing (including existing prints), and accessories. Naturally complete any unseen trousers and shoes to match the original outfit.

CAMERA & ENVIRONMENT
Position the camera almost directly above the person, looking vertically downward. The setting is a clean, spacious, light-colored indoor stone floor or outdoor paved surface that matches the aesthetic of the original selfie. Use large paving slabs with only 2–3 thin, widely spaced seams across the entire frame. Each slab should be approximately twice the height of the miniature full-body figure. Keep the stone texture subtle and refined, with no props, plants, or clutter. A distant wall base may appear along the top edge.

COMPOSITION & PROPORTIONS
Only one person stands slightly below the center of the frame, fully visible from head to toe. The entire figure occupies just 40% of the image height, leaving extensive empty floor space above the head and on both sides.

Use extreme wide-angle forced perspective to create an enormous, realistic head and a miniature body. The head, from crown to chin, occupies 75% of the figure's total silhouette height. The shoulder width is only 50% of the head width. Below the head, create an extremely short, narrow torso, miniature arms, perspective-compressed short legs, and two tiny shoes placed close together.

The head and body must connect seamlessly. Both arms hang naturally close to the sides. The person tilts their head upward and looks directly toward the elevated camera. Preserve realistic facial anatomy, natural skin texture, and lifelike eyes. Absolutely no cartoon styling or collage effects.

LIGHTING & REALISM
Use natural lighting, realistic individual hair strands, authentic fabric textures, finely detailed stone surfaces, physically accurate contact shadows, and subtle film grain. The final image must look like a genuine photograph captured with a real camera.
