The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

An illustrated souvenir postcard of a city: a chrome bean sculpture in the foreground reflecting the skyline, drawn with a busy black ink line and backed by flat bright turquoise. Exaggerated perspective so the landmark dominates the frame, small yellow taxis and pedestrians filling the base, towers drawn in fine hatched line behind. Hand lettered fat script naming the city across the top in pink. Loud, cheerful, printed flat.

Tips

1Exaggerated perspective on the landmark is what separates a postcard from a drawing of a building.
2GPT Image can set the hand lettering. Midjourney cannot, so leave a band for it there.
3Fill the base with small details: taxis, people, street furniture.
