Image Prompt Guides

Make a picture

An image prompt tells an AI image tool what the starting picture should contain. Begin with the important visual information; you do not need complicated camera language.

  1. Subject — who or what is visible?
  2. Place — where are they?
  3. Action — what is happening right now?
  4. Look — realistic, illustrated, bright, dark or documentary?
  5. Shape — tall for a phone (9:16), square (1:1) or wide (16:9)?
  6. Details to keep — say what must appear and what to leave out.
A Filipino student studying beside a window during heavy rain,
notebooks and an inexpensive laptop on a small desk,
natural afternoon light, realistic documentary photograph,
vertical 9:16, no text, no logos.

“No text” and “no logos” are choices for this particular photograph—not rules for every image. If you are creating a logo, say what symbol, colors, style and exact wording you want. Then add what you do not want, such as extra words, mockups or unrelated icons.

A clean circular logo for a Filipino neighborhood bakery,
a simple golden pandesal and rising sun symbol,
warm gold and deep brown, flat vector style,
include only the exact words "Pan de Umaga",
no mockup, no extra text, no additional icons.

Paste a prompt into an image-generation tool and choose its size setting if available. Check whether generating an image uses paid credits before you start. Make one draft first, inspect it, then change one detail at a time. For logos, check every letter; a generated image is not automatically an editable vector file.

When your image is ready, continue to Video Prompt Guides.
