AI Image Prompt Examples: Seven Reusable Structures

If an image misses your intent, check whether the prompt describes the picture clearly. These patterns are starting points for available Nano Banana, Seedream, FLUX, and other models; results vary.

Six elements

1. Subject: who or what, with concrete details.
2. Style: photo, 3D, animation, watercolor, or pixel art.
3. Composition: close-up, full body, or top-down.
4. Lighting: studio, sunset, neon, or backlight.
5. Mood and palette: warm, calm, pastel, or saturated.
6. Detail: materials or cinematic treatment relevant to the task.

You do not need every element each time. A resolution word in the prompt does not change the model's actual output settings.

Science fiction: cosmic space travel, gravitational lensing and a black hole, rich visual elements, cinematic scale.

Product photo: a floating skincare bottle, pastel gradient background, soft studio light, sharp focus, minimal composition.

Iterate with your own evidence

Check model cost and try small drafts before final production. A model label does not establish a universal speed or quality advantage. Read the Nano Banana 2 Lite guide for availability checks.
