How to Get Great Results
- Step 1
Keep text strings short
Use brief titles or labels (1–4 words). Long passages are harder to render consistently across models.
- Step 2
Describe layout and hierarchy
Indicate placement and emphasis—'title at top', 'badge in the corner', 'centered portrait with small subtitle'.
- Step 3
Guide typography vibes
Use general descriptors like 'bold serif', 'hand‑lettered', or 'rune‑like' rather than specific font names.
- Step 4
Iterate with img2img
When you like the composition, use image‑to‑image to tweak palette and texture without breaking layout.
