FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact woman in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eyes, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks, skin tone. Never beautify or slim the face.

A nostalgic 1980s collage poster on a ruled notebook-paper ground with faint ink margins behind the panels. TOP PANEL, a whitewashed college corridor of arches: a coral puff-sleeve blouse and a long indigo handloom skirt, a narrow tan belt; standing against a pillar, one forearm laid across two plain unlettered hardbound books held to her chest, that hand flat, fingers countable, the other arm down. LOWER PANEL, the stone library steps under a banyan: a davani half-saree - a mustard langa, a green blouse and a fine maroon voni pinned flat at the shoulder, never over the head; sitting on the steps, both hands together in her lap, fingers countable. HAIR in both panels: a long oiled plait over one shoulder tied with ribbon, the hairline exact. GAZE: to the lens in the top panel; off camera-left in the lower, face three-quarter with both eyes visible. Warm frontal light keys the face brightest in each panel with clear catchlights; the paper ground and inset sit a step under the skin. Vertical 9:16.

COLLAGE: a designed nostalgic poster - two photographic panels layered on warm textured paper with torn deckled edges, a film-sprocket strip along one edge, and a small postcard inset showing scenery only, no face. SAME-PERSON LAW: exactly two faces, both the same woman from the reference and identical in each, never a lookalike; each face fully inside its own panel, neither overlapping the other. PICTURE QUALITY: both panels on 1980s colour negative - soft period lens, gentle contrast, real grain, warm faded print colour, milky blacks. Paper texture and torn edges never fall across a face; every face stays sharp and the brightest thing in its own panel.

One text only: Those Days handwritten in dark ink script on clear paper, spelled exactly T, h, o, s, e, space, D, a, y, s, clear of every face, touching nothing. No other lettering anywhere.

CHECK: every face must match the reference exactly.

Torn edges and a film-sprocket strip further enhance the collage effect, making it reminiscent of college days and cherished memories.

This artwork is perfect for anyone looking to celebrate the 1980s aesthetic or to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Ideal for personal collections, poster displays, or as a gift for those who cherish the vintage vibe.

How to use this prompt

Supply a clear photo of the woman to ensure her features are matched exactly. The prompt expects details about her clothing and poses as described, and maintains the warm vintage look. For optimal results, ensure the photographic quality is aligned with 1980s film characteristics and adjust the lighting as needed if not achieving a warm glow. If the face does not match the reference, revisit face detail specifications and ensure all features align correctly.
