The prompt

{subject}, flat superflat pop-graphic vector treatment: every form is a bold flat color fill bounded by a thick uniform black ink contour, candy-saturated chroma used like highlighters, absolutely no gradients, no shading, no cast shadows, completely depthless and two-dimensional; {palette}; concentric flat flower-bloom medallions, smile-face badges, stars and halftone dots repeat across the background and gaps as flat ornaments; sticker-collage layering with hard ink edges and offset color blocks; the subject fills the frame edge to edge, dense and compressed, no empty whitespace

Slot recipes

How the prompt changes for each kind of picture.

  • Hero: {subject} centered and large, surrounded edge to edge by dense concentric flower-bloom medallions and halftone dot fields, candy chroma, thick ink contours, full-bleed, no whitespace
  • Feature: {subject} as a single bold sticker-cut form with a heavy black outline and one offset color-block shadow, set on a flat candy field with a few repeating bloom motifs
  • Avatar: {subject} cropped close and front-facing, flat fills with thick ink contour, a ring of small concentric bloom and dot ornaments framing the edge, square
  • Empty state: {subject} as a friendly flat motif (a single large smile-face bloom medallion) on a sparse but still candy-colored dotted ground, thick outline, gently inviting
  • Illustration: {subject} rendered as a flat poster collage of stacked sticker shapes, blooms, stars and dots filling every gap, hard ink edges throughout, maximally graphic and depthless

Guidance

Do

  • Bound every shape in a thick, uniform, blunt black ink contour like manga line work.
  • Keep all fills perfectly flat and candy-saturated; let color do the work, not light.
  • Repeat concentric flower-bloom medallions, smile badges, stars and halftone dots to fill gaps and create compressed poster rhythm.
  • Layer forms like cut stickers with hard edges and offset solid color blocks for separation.

Don’t

  • Do not add gradients, soft shading, ambient shadows, glow, or any cue of physical depth.
  • Do not mute the palette into pastel or corporate desaturated tones.
  • Do not leave large empty neutral areas that break the packed poster compression.
  • Do not let outlines go thin, broken, or colored instead of ink-dark.
