Full prompt
Goal: Create a cinematic YouTube-style thumbnail for an AI image generation announcement, combining action-movie realism with bold viral thumbnail typography.
Canvas: 16:9 widescreen, high-resolution, sharp photorealistic composite with dramatic sunset lighting. The scene is set at a luxury marina waterfront with orange-pink sky, reflective water, yachts, palm trees, a distant city skyline, and one small helicopter in the sky.
Layout: Split composition. The left 40% is dominated by large stacked text and the OpenAI knot logo; the right 60% features two intense action characters in the foreground. Keep the text large enough to read at thumbnail size, with thick black outlines and white outer stroke/drop shadow separating it from the background.
Text content: Use exactly 3 stacked text lines reading: “images” on top, “go” in the middle, and “hard” on the bottom. Make “images” and “go” white, and make “hard” bright neon yellow. Use a chunky rounded block font similar to bold gaming/YouTube thumbnail lettering.
Logo: Place exactly 1 OpenAI-style knot logo above the word “images” on the upper left. It should be black and white, sticker-like, with a thick white border and dark outline.
Subject details: Include exactly 2 foreground people. Character 1 is a young punk action woman, {argument name="female character hair style" default="messy blonde hair in braided pigtails with loose bangs"}, wearing a black sleeveless tactical top, black choker, layered necklaces, hoop earrings, and visible tattoos on her shoulder and upper arm, including floral and butterfly designs. She looks directly at the camera with a fierce, slightly open-mouthed expression and holds a black pistol close to her chest. Character 2 is a stern middle-aged action man, {argument name="male character appearance" default="short salt-and-pepper hair, strong jaw, black T-shirt, tactical shoulder strap"}, standing close behind her and looking directly at the viewer with an intense suspicious expression.
Visual style: Hyperrealistic cinematic photography, glossy Hollywood action poster energy, warm golden-hour rim light, high contrast, shallow depth of field on the background, detailed skin texture, dramatic reflections on the water, vivid saturated colors.
Customizable text: The visible headline should read {argument name="headline text" default="images go hard"}. Keep the same 3-line stacked layout even if customized.
Constraints: Do not add extra people, extra logos, or extra text. Keep the gun visible but not firing. No gore, no watermark, no UI frame.
Analyze the entire composition of the input image. Identify all key subjects present (whether a single person, group/couple, vehicle, or specific object) and their spatial relationships/interactions.
Generate a coherent 3×3 “contact sheet” grid that shows 9 different shots of exactly these subjects within the same environment.
You must adapt standard cinematic shot types to fit the content (for example, if it’s a group, keep the group together; if it’s an object, frame the entire object):
Row 1 (establishing the environment):
Extreme long shot (ELS): the subject appears small within a vast environment.
Long shot (LS): the full subject or group is visible from top to bottom (head to toe / wheels to roof).
Medium long shot (American shot / three-quarter): framed from above the knees (for people) or a 3/4 view (for objects).
Row 2 (core coverage):
4. Medium shot (MS): framed from the waist up (or the central core of an object). Focus on interaction/action.
5. Medium close-up (MCU): framed from the chest up. An intimate framing of the main subject.
6. Close-up (CU): tightly framed on the face or the “front” of the object.
Row 3 (details and angles):
7. Extreme close-up (ECU): intense focus on key features (eyes, hands, signs, textures) with macro-like detail.
8. Low-angle shot (worm’s-eye): look up at the subject from ground level (epic/heroic feeling).
9. High-angle shot (bird’s-eye): look down on the subject from above.
Ensure strict consistency: the same person/object, same clothing, and same lighting must appear in all 9 panels. Depth of field should vary realistically (with background blur in close-up shots).
Create a professional 3×3 cinematic storyboard grid with 9 panels.
The grid should present a specific subject/scene from the input image across a full range of focal lengths.
Top row: wide environmental shot, full-body view, 3/4 cropped (knees-up).
Middle row: waist-up view, chest-up view, face/front close-up.
Bottom row: macro details, low angle, high angle.
All frames must have photo-realistic textures, consistent cinematic color grading, and correct framing tailored to the number and type of subjects or objects being analyzed.
Put this whole text, verbatim, into a photo of a glossy magazine article on a desk, with photos, beautiful typography design, pull quotes, and bold formatting. The text: {argument name="article_text_en" default="[paste the full unformatted article here]"}
Create decorative text based on the word "{argument name="word" default=""}". Write the specified word largely and create decorative text designs associated with the image of the word. Create original designs with flexible ideas, without being constrained by existing fonts. The background should be a single color, white or black, matching the design.
