Create an ultra-high-resolution typography-based travel poster for [CITY_NAME], [COUNTRY] in a premium modern editorial poster style. Aspect ratio: 4:3 poster composition. The main visual focus must be one giant perfectly spelled word in the center: "[DISPLAY_TEXT]". The word "[DISPLAY_TEXT]" must be large, bold, tall, clean, professionally typeset, and easy to read. Use strong block-letter typography with deep shadows, subtle 3D depth, and crisp edges. The letters should feel like large gallery windows or cut-out travel postcards. Inside each individual letter, show a different illustrated scene from [CITY_NAME]. Fill the letters with iconic city sights, landmarks, streets, culture, nature, architecture, food, transport, waterfronts, parks, mountains, beaches, or skyline details where appropriate. Include these recognizable landmarks and sights naturally across the letters: [LANDMARKS]. The scenes inside the letters should visually flow from one letter to another like one connected city panorama, while each letter still contains its own unique moment. The typography should feel like a curated city gallery. Use the visual identity of [CITY_NAME]: [VISUAL_IDENTITY]. Use this color palette and atmosphere: [COLOR_PALETTE]. The background should be clean and elegant, inspired by the city’s geography, climate, colors, culture, and atmosphere. Add subtle decorative elements around the typography, such as local plants, map lines, waves, clouds, skyline silhouettes, mountains, stars, sand, leaves, street patterns, or cultural motifs where appropriate. Add realistic shadows behind the large letters to create depth and make the typography stand out. Keep the composition polished, premium, balanced, colorful, and suitable for a high-end travel poster or Skinbase Academy prompt example. Typography requirements: the giant word must read exactly "[DISPLAY_TEXT]"; use only this main word as the large text; the letters must be readable and professionally typeset; do not add random extra words, fake labels, misspelled text, symbols, graffiti scribbles, or AI-generated gibberish. The final image should feel like a beautiful modern destination poster: iconic, colorful, detailed, elegant, and visually fascinating.

Prompt guidance

How to use this prompt

Usage notes

Use this as a smart reusable prompt template. First collect city data, then replace [CITY_NAME], [COUNTRY], [DISPLAY_TEXT], [LANDMARKS], [VISUAL_IDENTITY], and [COLOR_PALETTE]. Keep [DISPLAY_TEXT] short and poster-friendly to improve typography accuracy.

Workflow notes

For best results, use a data-preparation step before image generation. Avoid long city names when possible; use a cleaner display version such as "NEW YORK" instead of "NEW YORK CITY" if the shorter text is more readable. Image models can still misspell typography, so validate the final output carefully before publishing.
