Style Notes
- Architecture
- Buildings and structures with believable perspective and materials — wide lenses, strong leading lines, attention to light on facades.
- Group Scene
- Multiple characters in one frame — the hardest case for AI consistency; prompts usually assign each figure a position and role explicitly.
- Illustration
- Hand-drawn or digital-painting aesthetics — visible strokes, stylized shapes and colors, deliberately not photoreal.
- Marketing Campaign
- Ad-ready imagery: clear product or message hierarchy, space reserved for copy and logos, and a polished commercial finish.
- 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.
- Surreal
- Deliberately impossible imagery — dream logic, scale distortions, unexpected object combinations — where the model's "mistakes" become the style.
