Example Output
Primary AI Image Prompt
A premium landscape course completion certificate mockup for an online leadership academy, elegant cream paper texture, subtle embossed geometric border, navy and warm gold color palette, centered certificate layout with large readable placeholder title "Certificate of Completion", smaller placeholder name line, course title line, date line, two signature areas, refined gold seal icon, modern serif headline with clean sans-serif supporting text, photographed as a flat lay on a neutral desk with soft natural light, professional edtech branding, high-resolution, crisp edges, realistic paper grain, minimal and uncluttered.
Negative Prompt
No real university logos, no unreadable tiny text, no misspelled words, no overly ornate medieval decoration, no cluttered background, no fake QR codes, no watermark.
Style Variations
1. **Modern SaaS Credential:** white background, blue gradient accent bar, badge icon, clean geometric typography.
2. **Academic Executive:** ivory stock, navy border, gold foil seal, formal serif typography.
3. **Creator Workshop:** pastel gradient, rounded badge, friendly sans-serif, shareable square format.
Handoff Notes
Keep all participant-specific text as editable placeholders. Use the AI mockup for visual direction, then rebuild final text in Figma/Canva to ensure spelling and accessibility.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Use placeholders for names and dates; AI image models still struggle with exact editable certificate text.
- 💡Specify the final use case because a LinkedIn badge needs a very different composition from a printable certificate.
- 💡Ask for a negative prompt to avoid fake institutional seals, unreadable text, or accidental trademark issues.
