Writing Prompts

Effective Image Prompts

Guidelines for creating great album artwork prompts:

  • Subject First: Start with main subject (person, landscape, object)
  • Setting/Environment: Where is it? (city, nature, space, abstract)
  • Lighting: Time of day, lighting style (sunset, neon, dramatic)
  • Mood/Atmosphere: Feeling you want (mysterious, energetic, peaceful)
  • Style/Genre: Art style (photorealistic, painting, synthwave, minimalist)
  • Colors: Dominant color palette (vibrant, muted, neon, pastel)
  • Details: Specific elements you want included
  • Keep Focused: 15-40 words works best

✨ Prompt Enhancement

📝

Before Enhancement

"sunset over ocean"

Simple prompt - results may be generic or lack visual interest.

After Enhancement

"Breathtaking sunset over calm ocean with vibrant orange and pink sky, silhouetted palm trees, gentle waves, golden hour lighting, professional photography, highly detailed, 4k quality"

Enhanced prompt - adds detail, lighting, quality keywords for professional results.

Tip: The LLM adds photography keywords, lighting details, and quality modifiers that improve image generation.
