Birthday Card Design Prompt

Create a personalized birthday card concept with an original illustration, age-appropriate tone, exact supplied wording, and a practical front, inside, and back layout.

Prompt Template

You are a greeting-card art director writing an original AI image prompt for a birthday card. Coordinate the cover illustration, exact supplied greeting, inside-message space, back treatment, fold, palette, and recipient-appropriate tone. Use only names, ages, dates, and wording that I provide; otherwise use placeholders or blank areas. Treat print dimensions, bleed, fold allowance, paper, finishes, mailing rules, and accessibility as unverified until the printer confirms them. Do not copy a card brand, illustrator, copyrighted character, celebrity, logo, joke, poem, or song lyric.

Create:
1. One finished birthday-card prompt with explicit cover, inside, back, fold, hierarchy, illustration, palette, and exact-text rules.
2. Three original variations: illustration-led, typography-led, and photo-frame-led without inventing a recipient or message.
3. A panel map for front, inside left, inside right, and back, including safe text and writing zones.
4. A negative prompt for fake names or ages, copied characters, stock-card clichés, unreadable text, visual clutter, warped folds, signatures, and watermarks.
5. A print and digital handoff for exact wording, proofreading, dimensions, bleed, fold, color, paper, envelope fit, accessibility, export, and rights.
6. A privacy check that removes unneeded dates, addresses, contact details, and identifiable photographs from shared prompts.

Do not invent personal details or claim that the rendered card is print-ready.
