Slaying the prompts dragon ⚔️🐲
Struggling with prompts? You’re not alone. Here’s how I’m turning it around. Focus on the details. Set the scene. Add dynamic elements. No more hair-pulling. Let’s conquer this beast. Create quality images and scripts in half the time. Here’s what I’m still learning: ✅ 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟 Start with a clear vision. Know what you want. Are you generating an image, writing text, or something else? Nail down your target. Example: Instead of saying, “Create an image,” say, “Create an image of a warrior standing on a battlefield at dawn.” Remember your audience. Tailor the prompt to fit their needs. It makes a difference. Example: If your audience is kids, instead of “A complex machine,” say, “A colorful robot with big, friendly eyes.” ✅ 𝗕𝗘 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖 Details matter. If it’s an image, include the setting, mood, time of day, and key elements. For text, lock in the tone, style, and key phrases. Be clear. Vague is weak. Example: Don’t say, “A car on a road.” Say, “A red sports car speeding down a winding mountain road at sunset.” ✅ 𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗚𝗘 Paint a vivid picture. Use rich adjectives and sensory details. Go beyond the basics. How does it feel, smell, or sound? Example: Instead of “A city street,” say, “A bustling city street filled with the aroma of fresh bread and the sound of distant jazz.” ✅ 𝗦𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗘 Context is king. Provide background details like environment, era, or atmosphere. If characters are involved, describe them clearly. Example: “In a medieval village, a blacksmith hammers away in his smoky forge while villagers bustle around the market.” ✅ 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 Add movement. Describe actions or interactions. Bring energy and life to your prompt. Example: “A surfer rides a giant wave, carving through the water as the sun sets behind him.” ✅ 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 Frame the shot. Mention perspective, layout, or how elements should be arranged. Keep it tight. Example: “A close-up of a knight’s weathered hand gripping a sword hilt, with a blurred battlefield in the background.”
