12 x 36 Baby Birthday 4-Photo Album Template | AI Image

## Reusable Album Template Prompt — 4-Photo Baby Birthday Editorial Layout — 12″ H × 36″ W — Exact 3:1 Landscape

Create a **premium photorealistic birthday album spread** that recreates the **same layout structure, photo hierarchy, framing, spacing, white-border treatment, text placement zones, soft dreamy blur atmosphere, and overall editorial balance** of the supplied reference image.

This is a **layout-locked reusable album template**.

The supplied reference image controls the **layout and design structure only**.

The user-uploaded photos are the **only and absolute source of truth for the people and photo content**.

---

## FIXED CANVAS

The final canvas is strictly locked to:

**36 inches wide × 12 inches high**
**Exact 3:1 landscape aspect ratio**

Requirements:

- ultra-wide horizontal album spread
- keep the canvas strictly landscape
- do not convert to portrait
- do not crop into another ratio
- do not stretch, compress, or distort the layout
- maintain the same panoramic spread feeling as the reference

## MANDATORY ASK-FIRST WORKFLOW

Before generating the album, first check whether the user has provided all required inputs.

This template requires:

- **4 uploaded photos**
- **1 exact caption/title/sentence if the user wants visible text**

If anything is missing, ask for all missing items in **one message**.

Use this exact ask-first line:

**“Please upload 4 photos for this template and tell me the exact caption/title/sentence you want displayed. If you don’t want any text, say ‘No text.’”**

Do not generate until all required inputs are provided.

After the user provides the required photos and text choice, **automatically generate the image**.

## FIXED PHOTO-TO-SLOT MAPPING

Keep the mapping fixed by upload order:

- **Photo 1** → large main horizontal photo block on the **left side**
- **Photo 2** → smaller vertical inset photo inside the **left section**, placed toward the right side of that left block
- **Photo 3** → large dominant portrait photo on the **right side**
- **Photo 4** → small inset photo near the **lower-right area** of the right section

Do not change this slot mapping.

## LAYOUT STRUCTURE — MUST MATCH THE REFERENCE

Recreate the same overall page design language:

### Left section

- a large landscape photo area placed on the left half
- clean **white rectangular border/frame**
- inside that left framed section, include:
  - one **large primary photo**
  - one **smaller vertical inset photo** positioned toward the right side within the same framed panel
- preserve the elegant collage feel and spacing balance

### Right section

- one **large dominant portrait photo** occupying most of the right half
- one **small inset photo** positioned near the lower-right side of the right section
- preserve the airy premium editorial placement

### Text zones

Keep the **same text placement zones** as the reference, but **never copy the sample wording** from the reference image.

- one main headline/title area on the **right side**
- one smaller supporting text zone near the **right-side title area**
- one lower text zone toward the **left-bottom area**
- if the user says **“No text”**, leave those zones clean or use extremely subtle design balance without visible wording

---

## TEXT RULES

- Use **only** the exact text the user provides
- Do **not** copy any sample text from the reference image
- Do **not** invent names, birthday wishes, dates, captions, or subtitles
- If the user says **“No text”**, do not display any visible text

If text is provided:

- style it to match the reference mood as closely as appropriate
- use elegant birthday/editorial typography
- preserve similar hierarchy:
  - larger display heading
  - smaller supporting line(s)
  - optional bottom caption line
- keep the text refined, readable, and clean

---

## VISUAL STYLE

Maintain the same premium visual feeling as the reference:

- soft dreamy birthday-album mood
- warm, gentle, child-friendly editorial presentation
- subtle blur/bokeh atmosphere in the background
- soft luminous highlights
- smooth tonal transitions
- clean modern luxury album styling
- minimal clutter
- elegant composition with strong subject focus

## PHOTO HANDLING RULES

The uploaded photos are the **only source of truth** for the people.

Preserve:

- exact facial identity
- skin tone
- age appearance
- hairstyle
- body proportions
- clothing visible in the source photos

Do not:

- invent a different child

- replace the uploaded outfits unless the user explicitly requests recreation changes
- substitute one uploaded image for another slot

Crop and fit each uploaded image naturally into its assigned slot while keeping the people realistic and visually coherent.

## BACKGROUND / DESIGN TREATMENT

Use the reference image only as layout inspiration for:

- panoramic spread arrangement
- photo block positions
- spacing
- white framing

Do not copy any brand logo or any reference wording.
