Describe image subjects, composition, and style

For an image generator, name the subject, setting, composition, lighting, color palette, intended use, and exclusions. Describe the visual result rather than asking it to copy a living artist or a specific protected character. Check the tool's current usage rights and content settings before publishing generated work.

Example: a website hero image

Create a wide website hero illustration for a neighborhood
farmers' market. Show a friendly market stall with seasonal
produce, viewed at eye level, with open space on the left for
headline text. Warm morning light, natural colors, clean editorial
illustration, no logos, no readable text, no recognizable people.
Landscape composition, suitable for a community website.

Iterate precisely: If the output is close, change one aspect at a time—such as viewpoint, background clutter, or contrast—so you can tell which instruction helped.
