Case 1: Handheld Beverage Commercial Poster — "A Cup Wakes the City"
The core of this image is not "drawing a cup of coffee" — it's about writing coffee as the startup button of a city morning. The brand, character, product, miniature city, and color system all need to hold together simultaneously for it to look like a real commercial poster.
Original Prompt
Generate a 4:5 vertical surreal commercial beverage poster with the theme "A Cup Wakes the City."
This is a premium advertising poster for the fictional coffee brand "Dylan's Mind." Do not use any real brand logos.
Color palette references indigo #4f46e5, purple #7c3aed, blue #2563eb, with small amounts of soft lavender #a78bfa and light cool white #f5f7ff. The overall tone is pink-purple, purple-blue, and tech-feel gradients. No soft pink, no rose pink, no warm pink undertones.
In the center of the image is a young female office worker — smart, fresh, gentle yet confident — wearing a light purple-gray or cool white commuter jacket, holding a cup of coffee and extending it forward toward the camera. The cup is largest in the foreground, the person is in the midground, creating a sense of perspective and immediacy.
The coffee cup exterior features a purple-blue gradient brand cup. The text on the cup must read "Dylan's Mind," clearly legible.
Inside the coffee cup opens a miniature morning data city: small buildings, bridges, glowing roads, glass towers, light blue-purple rays, and a coffee-colored river extending outward from the cup. Steam turns into soft clouds and a few data streamlines.
The background is a light purple tech-style gradient from cool white to pale lavender, with a large cropped English word "MIND" behind as typographic background. Use localized indigo, purple, and blue halos.
The main title must read "A Cup Wakes the City" (一杯城市醒来), placed in the upper-middle portion of the image, with clear, legible Chinese characters.
The subtitle is "Dylan's Mind," in small text at the upper left corner.
At the bottom, there must be three selling-point labels: Fresh Roast / Morning Energy / City Blend, clearly legible, retained as footer design elements.
Style: premium commercial poster, surreal realism, clean layout, advertising photography, pink-purple-blue tech color palette, rich detail but with the main product clearly standing out.
Prohibited: soft pink dominant tone, rose pink dominant tone, real brands, random logos, cup deformation, finger distortion, garbled text, overly messy background, cheap e-commerce templates, deep green dominant color.
Case 2: Monument Valley Space Poster — "Light Around the Corner"
This is a Monument Valley-style poster. It doesn't turn the phrase "Light Around the Corner" into a spectacle — instead, it lets the space itself carry the meaning. The person is still in the lower part of the maze, but the answer is already peeking out from around the bend.
Original Prompt
Generate a 4:5 vertical Monument Valley-style minimalist surrealist 3D art poster with the theme "Light Around the Corner" (转角有光).
First, interpret the theme as: a person is moving forward in the lower part of a maze, not yet seeing the answer, but light is already revealing itself from around the corner.
Do not turn the Chinese characters into 3D buildings — express the theme through spatial structure.
The main visual is a set of isometric geometric spaces composed of milky white, light sandstone, misty pink, and mint green: platforms, steps, doorways, corner walls, and floating small bridges.
Slightly below center, there is a tiny figure standing before the turn, no more than 8% of the image height, looking up toward the golden faint light in the doorway.
The Chinese main title "Light Around the Corner" (转角有光) appears clearly at the top of the image in minimalist sans-serif font, participating in the layout as flat typography — not turned into architecture.
Add a small amount of auxiliary text "vol.01 / keep walking," with lower visual weight than the Chinese title.
Materials: matte paper sculpture, plaster, frosted resin. Lighting should be soft and translucent with clear layers.
Prohibited: large areas of black, complex cityscapes, oversized figure, garbled Chinese text, turning text into buildings, excessive decoration.
Case 3: Ink Fluid Art Poster — "Ink Blooms"
This image relies on a simple judgment: chaos is not the end — it can also be the beginning of growth. If the black ink tide is only made into smoke, it will dissipate. By letting it grow into a flower, the image gains direction.
Original Prompt
Generate a 4:5 vertical ink fluid art poster with the theme "Ink Blooms" (墨潮生花).
First, interpret the theme as: black ink tide spreads in water and ultimately grows into a quiet but powerful flower, expressing growth from chaos.
The main visual is a giant flower naturally formed from black ink fluid and milky white water mist, located in the center of the image.
The petals are composed of flowing ink plumes, water diffusion, soft smoke, and organic curves. Edges naturally bleed outward while the center remains clear.
Background is milky white water body with faint gray layers, maintaining a dreamy, poetic, and delicate atmosphere.
Main title "Ink Blooms" (墨潮生花) is placed at the bottom center of the image in clear, restrained Chinese typography — like an art exhibition poster.
Colors: only black, white, and light gray, with a small amount of pale gold as a faint glow at the flower's center.
Texture: ink diffusion, suspended liquid, delicate paper surface, Eastern art exhibition poster.
Prohibited: rainbow colors, hard-edged petals, complex background, random English text, garbled text, cheap smoke effects.
Case 4: Minimalist Line Poster — "Relax"
This poster fully leverages the power of lines. The prompt reinterprets the concept into another state: after tension comes natural release, breathing slows down, and both body and world become lighter.
Original Prompt
Generate a 4:5 vertical minimalist line conceptual poster with the theme "Relax" (松弛).
First, interpret the theme as: not laziness, but the natural release after tension — breathing slows down, body and world become light again.
Do not directly draw the text itself. Translate "Relax" into a person lying on a hammock in a gentle breeze, with the hammock ends connected to two minimalist small trees, lines rising and falling gently like breathing.
The image uses a white background, black continuous lines, and generous white space.
The main visual is positioned in the lower-middle portion of the image, with minimal lines but clear emotional intent.
Main title "Relax" (松弛) is placed in small black Chinese text at the lower right corner, like a painting inscription — must be clearly legible.
Overall: Japanese minimalist single-line illustration aesthetic — quiet, restrained, with a sense of breath.
Prohibited: shadows, fills, complex background, colorful decoration, realistic figures, random text, overly dense lines.
Case 5: City Solar Term Poster — "Rainy Guangzhou, Lychees Turn Red"
This image compresses city, season, and taste into one frame. The rain-washed streets handle the atmosphere, the arcade buildings and skyline anchor the location, and the lychee red instantly grabs the eye.
Original Prompt
Generate a 4:5 vertical city solar term poster with the theme "Rainy Guangzhou, Lychees Turn Red" (雨后广州，荔枝红了).
The image expresses the brightness, moisture, vivid red, and everyday urban warmth of early summer in Lingnan after rain.
Main visual: rain-washed arcade street (qilou) with a modern city skyline in the distance. In the foreground, a lychee branch with raindrops — the lychee red serves as the strongest visual focal point.
Composition uses a three-layer structure: foreground close-up, midground street, background city. Road surface has soft reflections, and the air carries a light mist.
Main title must read "Rainy Guangzhou, Lychees Turn Red" (雨后广州，荔枝红了), placed in the upper-left area of the image, clearly legible, using a modern Song typeface combined with thin sans-serif.
Subtitle reads "LINGNAN EARLY SUMMER," in small text at the bottom.
Color palette: post-rain blue-gray, lychee red, moist off-white, and small amounts of warm yellow lighting.
Texture: premium city illustration poster, paper grain, slight print feel.
Prohibited: messy shop signs, random text, subject too small, cheap tourism templates, oversaturation.
Case 6: Vintage Travel Poster — "Wait for the Wind in Altay"
The Altay poster can't rely on piling up scenic spots. What it truly needs to paint is the sense of distant lands: grass waves, snow mountains, cloud shadows, a small path, and a tiny person. The smaller the person, the more convincing the vastness.
Original Prompt
Generate a 3:4 vertical vintage travel poster with the theme "Wait for the Wind in Altay" (去阿勒泰等一场风).
The image expresses vastness, freedom, quietness, and the sense of distant lands.
Main visual: golden grassland, distant snow mountains, low-hanging cloud shadows, and a winding path leading toward the mountain foot. By the roadside is a tiny traveler seen from behind — the person serves only as a scale reference.
Composition references 20th-century vintage travel posters: foreground grass waves, midground road, background snow mountains and large clouds. The image is clean with clear layers.
Main title must read "Wait for the Wind in Altay" (去阿勒泰等一场风), placed in the large white space at the top, using a warm, rounded vintage Chinese title font.
Subtitle reads "ALTAY WIND JOURNEY," placed at the bottom.
Color palette: grassland gold, snow mountain white, sky blue, and vintage orange, with a slight faded print feel.
Prohibited: modern vehicles, too many tourists, photo collage feel, garbled text, overly realistic tourism advertising.
Case 7: Fashion Cover Poster — "Attitude Living"
This image and the cover both belong to a wild minimalist poster style that I really love. It uses a few simple lines and colors to construct powerful visual impact, compressing "Attitude Living" into a sharp fashion cover.
Original Prompt
Generate a 16:9 horizontal 4K quality trendy line-engraved women's fashion cover poster with the theme text "Attitude Living" (态度生活).
Reference the half-worn style of circular red sunglasses: round red lenses, thin metal frames, sunglasses slightly slipped down to the middle of the nose bridge, partially covering the eyes but still revealing a sharp gaze. Posture is like a confident stare in a fashion editorial.
Main visual: a young female fashion figure, close-up to half-body composition, positioned slightly right of center. Head slightly tilted, gaze directed straight at the camera. Half-wearing circular red sunglasses, fingers lightly touching the frame edge. Demeanor is calm, confident, sharp. She wears a black turtleneck inner layer, a structured blazer, metal earrings. Hair strands are clearly rendered, with a high-end fashion cover aura.
The figure is rendered in black-white-gray line engraving, breaking down hair strands, facial features, sunglass frames, earrings, jacket folds, shoulder-neck lines and volume into layers of flowing engraved lines. Lines have the handmade feel of woodcut, copper plate etching, and fashion illustration.
Background: high-purity red to magenta large color blocks, with fine line textures, speed slices, small star bursts, and geometric wireframes, creating modern trend cover impact.
Main title must read "Attitude Living" (态度生活), placed in the large area on the left side of the image. Font is huge, clear, dominant, modern.
A small amount of auxiliary English "ATTITUDE LIVING" may be added below the title, with lower visual weight than the Chinese.
Overall: fashion magazine cover, trend visual poster. Horizontal composition should leave title area — person and text must not overlap.
The image is complex but not dirty, detailed but with a clear subject, sharp edges, strong light-dark contrast, 4K quality, ultra sharp.
Prohibited: sports/night running, male subject, full-body tiny figure, garbled text, typos, random large blocks of English, cheap glow effects, too many background elements, blurry subject, sunglasses completely covering the eyes.
Key Takeaway
What's most worth studying in this set of images is not any single style keyword — it's the "thematic interpretation" at the beginning of each prompt.
Get the theme interpretation right first, and everything that follows — composition, materials, colors, text placement, and exclusion zones — will have clear direction.
