Style Notes
- Avatar / Profile
- Head-and-shoulders framing that stays readable as a tiny circle — centered face, clean background, strong color separation.
- Character Design
- A character presented for reference: readable silhouette, costume and prop details, often multiple angles or expressions in one sheet.
- Close-up
- Tight crop on the subject — texture and emotion over context; pairs naturally with high-detail and shallow depth of field.
- 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.
- Hero Portrait
- A single dominant subject shot like a key visual — tight framing, strong eye contact or pose, background simplified so the character carries the image.
- Minimalist
- Few elements, generous negative space, restrained palette — the model is told to leave things out, which makes composition errors much less likely.
- 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.
- Product Mockup
- The design presented in context — packaging on a shelf, app on a phone screen, tee on a model — to preview how it looks in the real world.
- 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.
- Studio Lighting
- Controlled artificial light (softboxes, rim lights) — clean shadows and highlight control, the standard look of commercial portrait and product work.
