🎯 Pro Tips for Maximum Results
1. Be Specific About Style References
❌ Bad: “Make it look nice”
✅ Good: “Combine Art Nouveau botanical illustrations with modern Scandinavian minimalism, similar to Malika Favre but softer”
2. Include Emotional Keywords
Add feeling words: “dreamlike,” “melancholic,” “energetic,” “serene,” “mysterious” — dramatically improves output.
3. Use the “Camera Setup” Trick
For photorealistic results: “Shot on Canon EOS R5, 85mm lens, f/1.8, soft natural lighting”
4. Platform-Specific Formatting
- Midjourney: End with
--ar 16:9 --style raw --s 250 - DALL-E: Start with “Create a detailed [subject]…”
- Stable Diffusion: Use weighted tags:
(masterpiece:1.4), (detailed:1.2)
5. The Negative Space Rule
Explicitly exclude: “No text, no watermarks, no cluttered backgrounds”
