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 in‑image.
- Step 2
Describe layout and hierarchy
Indicate placement and emphasis—'title at top', 'nameplate badge', 'small label bottom‑right'.
- Step 3
Guide typography vibes
Use descriptors like 'bold serif', 'hand‑lettered', or 'rune‑like' rather than specific fonts.
- Step 4
Anchor with photographic cues
Add lens/shot type and lighting to stabilize framing for portraits and scene keyframes.
Example Prompts
Poster design: 'Silverkeep' title at top, elven ranger portrait, clean border, neutral background, bold serif title
