How to write good prompts for image and video generation

Prompt Skills• 2025-06-06

1. Specify the Style Clearly

Use keywords like:

  • "Flat vector illustration"

  • "Minimalist design"

  • "2D illustration"

  • "Geometric shapes"

  • "Clean lines"

Example:
🔹 "A flat vector illustration of a mountain landscape with bold colors and simple shapes."

2. Define Colors and Composition

Mention color schemes (e.g., "pastel colors", "vibrant gradients") and layout preferences (e.g., "symmetrical", "negative space").

Example:
🔹 "A minimalist flat design of a cat in monochrome colors with a white background."

3. Add References for Consistency

If possible, reference well-known styles:

  • "In the style of Pablo Picasso’s line art"

  • "Like an isometric vector icon"

Example:
🔹 "A flat vector portrait of a woman, inspired by 1960s pop art, with thick outlines and solid colors."

4. Keep It Simple and Direct

Avoid overly complex descriptions—stick to key visual elements.

Example:
🔹 "A flat vector sun with sharp rays and a gradient yellow-orange fill."

Final Tip: Experiment & Refine

Test different phrasings and adjust based on results. The more precise your prompt, the better the output!

Try these techniques and watch your AI-generated illustrations improve. Happy prompting! 🎨✨
