Premium Luxury Travel Poster
View full prompt & copy

Create a premium luxury travel poster using the uploaded travel photo as the single source of truth. Analyze it first and select one primary subject only: Person, Landmark/Architecture, or Landscape. Use a strict vertical 3:4 layout, split into two equal horizontal sections. Upper half: use one dominant solid color sampled from the photo, with generous negative space. Place one small, realistic die-cut enamel souvenir magnet (20–30% width) extracted directly from the original subject, preserving its silhouette, viewpoint, proportions, colors, and recognizable details. Add a soft natural shadow and thin cream/white border. Beneath the magnet, add one elegant handwritten English location/name, only if confidently identifiable; otherwise omit it. Lower half: keep the original photograph completely authentic, allowing only natural cropping. No repainting, regeneration, distortion, object removal, or identity changes.

Golden Hour Knitted Beanie Portrait
View full prompt & copy

Create a highly detailed vertical 4:5 artistic editorial portrait of a young woman from the chest up, centered and looking directly at the viewer with a soft relaxed smile. She has dark brown shoulder-length slightly messy layered hair with wispy bangs, warm natural skin, delicate facial features, and round thin black wire-frame eyeglasses. Dress her in exactly 3 visible accessories/clothing elements: 1) an oversized chunky ribbed knitted beanie in heather taupe gray, 2) a loose black long-sleeve ribbed knit sweater with softly bunched sleeves, and 3) a short silver chain necklace. Pose her with shoulders slightly angled, arms forward near the bottom edge, head gently tilted, calm intimate expression. Use dreamy golden-hour backlighting from the upper right, creating a glowing rim light around the hair, beanie, shoulders, and sweater edges, with warm amber highlights and soft shadows on the face. Render as a hybrid of realistic photography and painterly editorial illustration: crisp facial detail, natural eyes and lips, visible knit texture, subtle skin texture, and expressive charcoal-like sketch strokes around the silhouette. Background is a textured gray plaster wall with abstract scratched graphite marks and warm gold paint smears, especially on the right side, blending into the subject edges. Add loose black hand-drawn contour scribbles around the hat, hair, sleeves, and shoulders for an art-magazine mixed-media look. Shallow depth of field, soft cinematic contrast, high detail, warm muted palette, no text, no watermark, no extra people.

Fitness Influencer Reels Grid
View full prompt & copy

Goal: Create a realistic Instagram Reels profile grid showing AI fitness influencer nutrition content, with 12 separate vertical thumbnails arranged in a 3-column by 4-row grid. The overall look should be warm, muted, lifestyle-oriented, and social-media ready, like a screenshot of a creator’s reels tab. Canvas: Portrait screenshot-style composition, 3:4 aspect ratio. Divide the canvas into exactly 12 equal vertical reel tiles with thin white gutters between them. Each tile has a small white Instagram Reels icon in the top-right corner and a white play-triangle icon with a view count in the bottom-left corner. Subject: The same fit young woman appears throughout the grid, an AI fitness influencer with a lean athletic body, long dark hair usually tied in a loose ponytail or bun, often taking mirror selfies with a phone covering her face. She wears minimal black, brown, olive, or cream sports bras and high-waisted leggings. Use minimal dark-haired fitness influencer in neutral athleisure. Keep her recognizable across all thumbnails while varying pose, outfit color, and room. Visual style: Photorealistic iPhone lifestyle photography, soft natural window light mixed with warm indoor lighting, beige and taupe interiors, clean modern apartments, subtle grain, slightly dim cozy exposure, muted contrast, aspirational wellness aesthetic. No cartoon or illustration style. Layout and exact tile count: Include exactly 12 reel thumbnails: 1. Top-left: mirror selfie in a minimal room with potted tree and exercise bike, black sports bra and black leggings, seated pose. Text: “What I eat to feel full longer”. Views: “3,512”. 2.

Second row center: back view cooking at a stovetop in a warm modern kitchen, black strappy sports bra, vegetables on counter. Text: “Where is the protein?”. Views: “41.3K”. 6. Second row right: seated at a dining table with bowl of food and glass, cream sports bra, long dark hair down. Text: “What I eat to avoid overeating”. Views: “193K”. 7. Third row left: gym mirror selfie in dim home gym, olive leggings and dark sports bra, cable machine in background. Text: “This is how I eat every day”. Views: “146K”. 8. Third row center: bedroom mirror selfie, cream sports bra and brown leggings, bed and soft lamp behind her. Text: “‘omg I could never eat like that’”. Views: “27.8K”. 9. Third row right: back view cooking in kitchen, dark sports bra and leggings, pot on stove and cutting boards nearby. Text: “Why don’t you just eat normal food?”. Views: “66.2K”. 10. Bottom-left: seated mirror selfie in cozy bedroom or living area with warm lamp and plant, brown sports set. Text: “‘You don’t need discipline, you need better habits’”. Views: “31.9K”. 11.

Use healthy eating and staying lean without obsessing over calories for the message tone. Keep all visible text in English and match the quoted phrases exactly. Constraints: Make it look like a single cohesive Instagram Reels grid screenshot, not a collage poster. Keep the same creator across all 12 tiles. Do not add extra tiles, extra captions, usernames, watermarks, app navigation bars, likes, comments, or unrelated text. Use warm beige, taupe, cream, black, olive, and soft brown and realistic handheld phone mirror-selfie photography.
