Tips for Best Results
- 💡If exact menu copy matters, generate the mockup with placeholder text first and add final typography in a design tool.
- 💡Specify the physical board material — chalk, LED, backlit acrylic, matte print — to avoid generic signage.
- 💡Include customer viewing angle and lens choice for more believable in-store perspective.
- 💡Use a negative prompt for misspelled text and warped menu lines, which are common AI image issues.
