Theme: Premium vertical 3:4 layered paper-cut travel poster for Seoul, South Korea, celebrating historic heritage and contemporary urban identity in one coherent handcrafted city landscape.
Subject: Seoul is the destination identity; Gyeongbokgung rooflines, hanok lanes, Han River bridge, Namsan Tower, and distant glass downtown towers and hanok wall patterns, spring petals, subway signage, street-food lights, and soft tiled roof silhouettes form the recognizable local architecture and cultural details without becoming a disconnected landmark collage.
Scene: A believable viewpoint in Seoul, South Korea where historic districts, traditional buildings, streets, rooftops, bridges, waterfronts, plazas, and local architectural details dominate the foreground and middle ground while modern architecture stays subtle in the distant background.
Composition: Fixed vertical 3:4 travel-poster composition with open sky taking 40-50 percent of the image, generous negative space, simplified city silhouettes, foreground-middle-background separation, repeated rooflines and pathways, and depth created through stacked paper layers rather than realistic perspective.
Signature elements: Sparse white travel-journal doodles, arrows, route lines, stars, location pins, tiny local motifs, transportation notes, architectural annotations, and one tiny pedestrian, a small tea table, a bicycle, a subway route doodle, and birds over the skyline appear as small secondary details.
Style: Museum-quality handcrafted layered paper-cut collage illustration with visible paper edges and thickness, delicate stacked shadows, hand-cut organic contours, matte gouache paper texture, subtle paper grain, soft handmade irregularities, and refined editorial travel-poster finish.
Color palette: Restrained city-inspired palette for Seoul: lightly toned down, pastel, airy, elegant, softly weathered, low saturation, and print-ready;
Lighting: Warm late-afternoon sunlight with long soft shadows between paper layers, calm nostalgic atmosphere, and quiet premium destination-poster mood.
Typography: SEOUL appears in the upper-right sky area as elegant hand-lettered travel-journal typography, lightly drawn onto the paper surface and never dominating the composition.
Restrictions: Keep the city as one continuous landscape, not a landmark montage;
