Style Notes
- Anime
- Japanese animation aesthetics — clean line art, large expressive eyes, cel shading, and scene tropes drawn from anime rather than photography.
- Avatar / Profile
- Head-and-shoulders framing that stays readable as a tiny circle — centered face, clean background, strong color separation.
- Cute & Playful
- Rounded shapes, big eyes, candy palettes, and toy-like proportions — the visual language of mascots and sticker packs.
- Dark & Moody
- Low ambient light, deep shadows, desaturated or cool palette — atmosphere and mystery over clarity.
- Interior Space
- Room-scale scenes with coherent perspective, furniture styling and light sources — architectural visualization meets lifestyle photography.
- Logo / Icon
- Symbol-first design — simple geometry that survives being scaled down, flat color, strong silhouette. Expect to vectorize the output before real use.
- Photo
- Asks the model for photorealistic output — natural lighting, believable skin and materials, camera-like depth of field — rather than illustration or 3D looks.
- Portrait Orientation
- Vertical aspect ratio (e.g. 3:4, 9:16) — the native format for phone screens, Stories, and app store screenshots.
- Poster
- Single-image layout designed to be read at a glance: dominant visual, title-friendly composition, high contrast for print or thumbnail.
- Social Media Post
- Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
