This template builds a vertical 9:16 character poster with a two-tier layout. A large, recognizable silhouette (head, facial contour or upper-body outline) fills the top of the frame, and a smaller full-body version of the same character stands below it as the visual core of the composition.
It suits anyone who wants a key-visual style poster for a character, a creative persona or a brand figure. The cover example shows the idea well: a big profile silhouette filled with an atmospheric scene, with a standing figure and a closer face pose layered underneath, plus a bit of poster-style typography.
What works best as input
- The "Portrait subject product or object" field accepts a photo as well as a typed description, so you can start from a clear picture of the subject you want featured.
- Pick a photo where the head and face are easy to read, since the top half of the poster is built around a bold silhouette of the head and facial contour.
- If you type instead, be specific about the subject, for example "a confident adult" or "a distinctive creative professional" rather than something vague like "a person".
- Choose a subject with a distinctive outline (hair shape, mask, headwear or costume). Strong shapes make the large silhouette read better.
- Keep any photo of a real person respectful and use only images you have the right to use.
How to use it
- Open the Character Promotional Poster template in Phosphene.
- In "Portrait subject product or object", upload a photo or type a short description of your subject.
- Set "Creative direction" to the mood you want, such as Clean editorial, Cinematic dramatic, Playful colorful or Quiet premium.
- Generate the poster, then check that the silhouette sits in the upper half and the full-body figure appears below it, and regenerate if the balance feels off.
Tips for a better result
- Match the creative direction to the subject: Cinematic dramatic suits moody or fantasy characters, while Playful colorful fits lighter, energetic ones.
- Try the same subject with different directions (for example Clean editorial versus Quiet premium) to compare how the layout and tone change.
- Use a subject with a clear costume or accessory, such as a mask, weapon or flowing clothing, so the full-body pose has something distinctive to show.
- If a result is close but not right, adjust the subject description with one or two concrete details and generate again.
Common mistakes
- Using a cropped or blurry photo where the head and face are hard to see, which weakens the large silhouette at the top.
- Writing a very generic subject description, which gives the poster little character to build its iconic silhouette from.
- Expecting an exact layout every time. The template guides a large-top, smaller-bottom structure, but individual results can vary.
