Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Tell the image model whether text should be readable or just reserved as blank layout space.
  • 💡Include genre cues so the poster does not feel like generic event art.
  • 💡Ask for a merch-ready version with fewer details if the design may be printed.
  • 💡Generate city-specific variants by swapping landmarks while keeping the same visual system.
