Help me turn a vibe into a mood board direction.
The project: {{brand / room / event / product line}}
The feeling I'm chasing: {{adjectives, references, a song even}}
Anything fixed: {{must-have colors, constraints}}
Produce: 1) THE DIRECTION — name it and describe the coherent aesthetic in 3 sentences. 2) THE PALETTE — 4-5 colors with hex and the role each plays. 3) THE TEXTURES & MOTIFS — materials, shapes, patterns that belong. 4) SIX IMAGE PROMPTS that together form a cohesive board (hero, texture, detail, atmosphere, etc.), all sharing the palette and mood. 5) WHAT DOESN'T BELONG — the tempting things that would break the vibe. Cohesion over collecting pretty things.
My image prompt isn't working. Diagnose and fix it.
My prompt:
{{paste it}}
What I got vs. what I wanted: {{describe the gap}}
Tool: {{Midjourney / DALL-E / etc.}}
Do this: 1) DIAGNOSE — why the prompt produced that (too vague, conflicting terms, missing style anchor, wrong emphasis, unrealistic combo). 2) THE REWRITE — a cleaner version with the fix, keeping what worked. 3) WHAT EACH CHANGE DOES — so I learn, not just copy. 4) THREE VARIANTS dialing different levers (more/less detail, different lighting, different framing). 5) THE ONE PARAMETER most likely to close the gap. Teach me to fish.
Help me get legible text into an AI-generated image.
What the image is & the exact text I need in it: {{describe + the words}}
Tool: {{Midjourney / DALL-E / etc.}}
Give me: 1) THE REALISTIC EXPECTATION — where each tool is decent vs. hopeless with text, and how much text is safe to attempt. 2) THE PROMPT TECHNIQUE — how to phrase it (quoting the text, keeping it short, specifying style/placement) to maximize legibility. 3) THE FALLBACK — when to generate the image WITHOUT text and add it after in a design tool instead (often the pro move). 4) THE PROMPT for my case, plus a text-free version to overlay. 5) The tweaks if the text comes out garbled. Legible over 'AI tried its best'.
Help me prompt a visual for a social post.
The post is about: {{topic}} — Platform: {{IG / LinkedIn / X / TikTok thumbnail}}
Brand vibe: {{3 adjectives}} — Any text/logo overlay planned? {{yes/no}}
Build: 1) THE CONCEPT — one strong visual idea that fits the message and stops the thumb (not a generic stock vibe). 2) COMPOSITION — leave space if text goes on top; think about the tiny-thumbnail test. 3) THE PROMPT with style, mood, color, aspect ratio right for the platform. 4) TWO ALTERNATES — a bold one and a clean one. 5) THE THUMBNAIL CHECK — will it read at small size? Optimize for stopping the scroll, not gallery-wall beauty.
You are a photography educator who can reverse-engineer any look.
The look I love: {{describe a photo/photographer/film — "Wes Anderson symmetry", "90s film snapshots", "moody kitchen editorial"}}
What I want to shoot in that style: {{your subject}}
Deconstruct it:
1. THE RECIPE — what actually creates this look: light quality & direction, color grade, lens/framing habits, depth of field, composition rules, era/film artifacts.
2. THE VOCABULARY — the 10-12 exact terms that summon this style in image AI ("overcast softbox light", "Kodak Gold 200", "symmetrical one-point perspective"...).
3. THE PROMPT — my subject in this style, built from that vocabulary, with aspect ratio.
4. THREE VARIATIONS — same style, different: time of day, distance, mood.
5. THE TELL — the one element that, if wrong, breaks the style entirely (so I know what to fix when results feel off).
Style notes only — no living artist's name pasted verbatim; teach me the ingredients instead.
You are an AI-art director who solves the consistency problem.
My character: {{describe them — or paste the prompt that made a version you loved}}
I'll be putting them in: {{storybook / brand mascot / comic / social posts}}
Build the system:
1. THE CHARACTER SHEET — a locked description block covering: face & age markers, hair, build, signature outfit, palette (hex), art style, and the 2-3 quirky details that make them THEM. Written to paste at the start of every prompt.
2. THE SCENE TEMPLATE — "[character sheet] + [scene], [pose/emotion], [lighting], [style tags]" with two filled examples.
3. CONSISTENCY TACTICS — per tool: seed reuse and reference-image workflow for Midjourney ({{--cref}} if available), what to repeat verbatim vs. vary.
4. THE DRIFT CHECK — the 3 features that drift most across generations, and the extra words that pin each one.
Give me the final copy-paste block.
You are an interior designer who works with real rooms and real budgets.
My room: {{size, windows, what's staying (bed, desk...), current vibe}}
The feeling I want: {{calm? energizing? cozy? hotel-like?}}
Budget reality: {{"paint and textiles" to "new furniture ok"}}
Design it:
1. THE DIRECTION — name the style honestly achievable here, in two sentences.
2. THE FIVE MOVES — ranked by impact-per-cost: what to change first (usually: lighting, textiles, wall color, layout, one anchor piece).
3. PALETTE — 3-4 colors with where each goes (walls/textiles/accents), hex codes.
4. THE LAYOUT NOTE — one furniture-position change that makes the room feel bigger or calmer.
5. THE IMAGE PROMPT — a Midjourney/DALL-E prompt of MY room redesigned (my dimensions, my kept furniture, new direction) — interior photography style, natural light.
Skip anything that requires a contractor.
Help me prompt cover art.
For: {{album / book / podcast / single}} — Title: {{if any}}
The mood/genre & what it's about: {{context}}
Style references I like: {{artists, eras, aesthetics}}
Build: 1) THE CONCEPT — one strong visual metaphor for the mood, not a literal illustration of the title. 2) COMPOSITION — designed to leave room for title text and to read at thumbnail size (where most people see it). 3) THE PROMPT with style, palette, mood, and square aspect. 4) THREE DIRECTIONS — minimal, bold/graphic, and atmospheric. 5) THE THUMBNAIL TEST — does it still hit at 200px? Iconic over busy.
Help me prompt a portrait of a character.
Who they are: {{age, vibe, role, personality}}
Style I want: {{realistic / painterly / anime / 3D / etc.}}
Use: {{story / game / avatar / just for fun}}
Build: 1) THE DESCRIPTION BLOCK — face and age markers, hair, expression, clothing, palette, the 2-3 details that make them THEM. 2) THE MOOD — lighting and setting that convey their personality. 3) THE FULL PROMPT in [subject], [appearance], [expression/mood], [setting/lighting], [style tags], [aspect] form. 4) VARIATIONS — three emotions or angles. 5) THE CONSISTENCY TIP — what to keep verbatim so future images match. Make the personality visible, not just the features.
You are a brand creative director translating feelings into visual direction.
My brand: {{name, what it does}}
Personality: {{3-5 adjectives}}
Loved logos: {{2-3 brands whose look you admire, and why if you know}}
Absolute nots: {{colors/styles you refuse}}
Develop three directions:
For each — a name (e.g., "Quiet Confidence"), the concept in two sentences, shape language (geometric/organic, sharp/soft), a 3-color palette with hex codes and the feeling each carries, type suggestion (category + example font), and where it shines / where it risks falling flat.
Then: write the image-generation prompt for direction #1 (flat vector style, single mark, white background) AND the one-paragraph brief I'd send a human designer.
Honest note: which direction is trendy-now-dated-in-3-years, if any.
Help me write an image prompt for a product mockup.
My product: {{what it is, key visual features}}
Where it'll be used: {{listing / hero / deck}} — Vibe: {{3 adjectives}}
Give me: 1) THE SHOT PLAN — angle, surface/setting, lighting, what's in focus, one styling detail that signals the vibe. 2) THE PROMPT — built from that, in the structure [subject + detail], [setting], [lighting], [camera language], [style], [aspect ratio]. 3) THREE VARIATIONS — clean/minimal, lifestyle/in-use, and bold/editorial. 4) THE FIX-ITS — what to change if the result looks too flat, too busy, or fake. Optimize for 'I'd click buy', not 'pretty'.
Help me prompt a set of icons that look like a family.
What the icons represent: {{list the concepts}}
Style: {{line / filled / flat / 3D / duotone}} — Where used: {{app / deck / site}}
Build: 1) THE STYLE SPEC — stroke weight, corner style, fill approach, color, level of detail — the rules EVERY icon must follow to match. 2) THE SHARED PROMPT SKELETON — the fixed style part I paste for each, plus the [concept] slot. 3) THE PER-ICON PROMPTS for my list, each using the skeleton. 4) THE CONSISTENCY CHECK — what to verify across the set (weight, size, perspective). 5) The concept that's hardest to make match and how to handle it. Consistency over cleverness.
Help me prompt a photorealistic scene.
The scene: {{describe it}}
Mood & time of day: {{context}}
Use: {{background / stock-style / concept}}
Build: 1) THE CAMERA LANGUAGE — camera/lens type, aperture/depth of field, angle, that photographers use to get realism. 2) THE LIGHT — quality, direction, source, time of day (this is what sells 'real'). 3) THE PROMPT combining subject, setting, camera, light, and film/rendering style. 4) THE AI TELLS to avoid — the words/combos that make it look fake or over-rendered, and what to write instead. 5) One variation with different light. Prioritize believable over dramatic.
