Minimalist travel poster of Aydin, Turkey, in a paper-cut collage style, featuring landmarks and a warm Mediterranean color palette

Prompt

Create a charming minimalist editorial travel poster of Istanbul, Turkey, inspired by modern paper-cut collage and handcrafted travel illustration. Use a warm cream/off-white textured paper background with a clean rectangular poster composition. At the top, place the city name in large, elegant, widely spaced uppercase typography: “ISTANBUL”.

Build a detailed layered miniature cityscape using flat paper-cut shapes with subtle 3D depth, soft shadows, thick white sticker-like outlines, rounded edges, and handcrafted imperfections. Feature the city’s most recognizable landmarks, historic architecture, mosques, minarets, towers, old houses, streets, bridges, surrounding landscape, and local cultural elements. Arrange the landmarks naturally at different depths rather than as a realistic photograph.

Use a refined Mediterranean/Turkish color palette: terracotta, muted coral, dusty teal, sage green, warm beige, cream, soft blue, and dark desaturated blue. Add stylized trees, cypress trees, palm trees where appropriate, small people walking, traditional vehicles, birds, clouds, and subtle local details.

Create layered rolling hills and mountains in the background, with simplified geometric shapes. Add a small river, lake, coastline, or road if geographically appropriate. Keep the illustration balanced and uncluttered.

The entire artwork should look like a premium handmade paper diorama / 3D cut-paper postcard, with crisp vector-like shapes, tactile paper texture, gentle ambient shadows, soft studio lighting, sophisticated travel-magazine aesthetics, nostalgic yet contemporary design.

At the bottom, add a small elegant caption: “Istanbul”. Maintain generous negative space around the artwork. No photorealism, no gradients-heavy CGI, no excessive detail, no clutter.

Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical, high resolution, clean centered composition, premium travel poster design.
