Quick Start

Input: "futuristic city at night"

Output: Creative Direction A: Cyberpunk Metropolis Neon-soaked towers pierce through layers of fog and holographic advertisements. Street-level bustling with hover vehicles and pedestrians under perpetual artificial twilight.

Final Prompt: Cyberpunk futuristic city at night, towering neon skyscrapers, holographic billboards, fog-covered streets, flying cars, dramatic purple and cyan lighting, ultra-detailed, cinematic composition, 8K

Technical Specs:

• Negative: blurry, low quality, daylight, natural lighting, rural, vintage
• Camera: Wide angle establishing shot, 24mm equivalent
• Lighting: Neon accent lighting, volumetric fog, high contrast
• Aspect: 16:9 landscape
• Use Case: Digital wallpaper, concept art portfolio

Workflow

Progress:

• Parse the rough idea for core elements
• Generate 3 distinct creative directions (A, B, C)
• Select strongest direction for final prompt
• Craft optimized positive prompt (50-80 words)
• Create targeted negative prompt
• Define camera and lighting setup
• Specify aspect ratio and use case

Step 1: Identify Core Elements Extract subject, mood, style hints, and any specific requirements from the input.

Step 2: Create Three Directions

• Direction A: Bold, dramatic interpretation
• Direction B: Refined, elegant approach
• Direction C: Unique, unexpected angle

Step 3: Technical Optimization Translate creative vision into AI-friendly technical specifications.

Examples

Best Practices

• Prioritize visual hierarchy: Lead with strongest visual element
• Layer descriptive details: Move from general to specific
• Use proven keywords: "photorealistic," "highly detailed," "cinematic"
• Balance prompt length: 50-80 words for optimal results
• Match aspect ratio to purpose: 16:9 for wallpapers, 4:5 for social posts
• Include camera specs: Lens type affects perspective and mood
• Specify lighting quality: Natural, studio, dramatic, soft, harsh

Common Pitfalls

• Overloading prompts: Too many concepts dilute focus
• Vague creative directions: "Nice forest scene" vs "Enchanted moonlit grove"
• Missing negatives: Always exclude unwanted elements
• Wrong aspect ratios: Portrait subjects in landscape frames
• Generic camera specs: "Professional camera" instead of specific lens
• Ignoring use case: Technical requirements vary by application
• Weak mood descriptors: Use evocative, specific atmospheric terms
