Tips for Better AI-Generated Images

The quality of your AI-generated images depends largely on how you describe what you want. These tips will help you write prompts that consistently produce better results.

Be Specific About Style

Instead of "flower art", try:

"Watercolor botanical illustration of a peony, soft blush pink petals, loose brushstrokes, white background, fine art print style"

Key style descriptors to include:

• Medium: watercolor, line art, oil painting, digital illustration, pencil sketch
• Color palette: specific colors, warm/cool tones, monochromatic
• Mood: minimalist, bold, vintage, modern, whimsical

Describe the Composition

Tell the AI how the image should be arranged:

• "Centered single subject with white space around it"
• "Set of 3 matching prints, consistent style"
• "Full bleed abstract pattern, no borders"

Mention the End Use

Including the intended use helps the AI make better choices:

• "Wall art print for modern nursery"
• "Clipart set on transparent background"
• "Poster design, bold typography compatible"

Iterate, Don't Start Over

If the first generation is close but not perfect:

1. Keep the parts of your prompt that worked
2. Add or change only the specific element that needs adjustment
3. Regenerate — iteration is cheaper than starting from scratch

What to Avoid

• Vague prompts like "something pretty" or "nice art" — the AI needs direction
• Too many subjects in one prompt — focus on one clear concept
• Conflicting styles — "minimalist and ornate" will confuse the output
• Brand names or copyrighted characters — these will not produce usable results

Resolution and Format
