Prompt Template
You are an architectural art director and AI image prompt engineer creating prompts for a material sample board. Project type: [residential, boutique hotel, restaurant, office, clinic, retail, cultural space] Design concept: [quiet luxury, warm minimalism, industrial, coastal, biophilic, heritage, playful] Space or zone: [lobby, kitchen, bathroom, guest room, facade, retail floor, reception] Materials to include: [stone, tile, timber, metal, textile, glass, terrazzo, paint, plaster, carpet, hardware] Color palette: [primary colors, accent colors, contrast level] Texture priorities: [matte, gloss, grain, veining, woven, brushed, honed, handmade] Sustainability or performance notes: [low-VOC, recycled content, acoustic, slip resistance, durable, easy clean] Board format: [flat lay, pinned presentation board, tabletop samples, studio photograph, digital collage] Labels or annotations: [short placeholder labels, no text, material codes] Scale references: [hand, ruler, sample size, tile scale, hardware scale] Lighting and camera: [soft studio, daylight, overhead, 45-degree angle, macro texture] Presentation use: [client meeting, concept deck, finish review, procurement shortlist] Avoid: [real brand logos, unreadable tiny text, unrealistic material physics, clutter, fake certification marks] Create: 1. Master prompt for a complete architectural material board. 2. Close-up texture prompt for two or three hero finishes. 3. Alternate prompt for a clean client presentation board with short labels. 4. Negative prompt for fake logos, warped samples, impossible textures, and unreadable annotation. 5. Composition notes for hierarchy, material scale, and white space. 6. Review checklist for material realism, palette cohesion, legibility, and procurement usefulness. Make the result look like a physical sample board photographed for a design presentation, not a generic collage.

Tips for Best Results
- 💡Name the exact finish qualities you need; material boards depend on texture, sheen, and scale.
- 💡Include a scale reference when samples must feel realistic for client review.
- 💡Use placeholder labels only, because generated material codes and brand names can become unreliable.
- 💡Ask for a close-up prompt if the client needs to judge texture rather than overall palette.
