Fictional portrait: WPA Public Works Poster — Style

PROMPT_CONSOLE

Ready-to-use prompt

English

Transform the attached photo into a 1930s American public-works screen-print poster with five flat inks: forest green, brick red, ochre, cream and navy. Simplify a mountain trail, stone steps and sun rays into broad interlocking shapes with uneven edges. Pose her full-body in sturdy three-quarter stance on the steps, one hand at her hip and the other pointing uphill, wearing practical simplified clothing and a steady optimistic expression. Keep her recognizable through face shape, long black hair and floral accent, but redraw every part—face, eyes and skin included—as bold screen-print planes; no photographic skin or pasted-on realistic face. Center the exact text “STYLEATLAS” along the bottom in heavy navy capitals. Output vertical 2:3 with no other text, logo or watermark.
