Example Output

Main Prompt

Photorealistic street-level retail window display for an independent eyewear boutique, spring travel campaign, three hero sunglasses styles on slim brushed-metal plinths, one minimal mannequin bust wearing oversized tortoise frames, layered translucent acrylic panels in pale blue and citrus yellow, small readable headline on glass: "Pack the Light", warm afternoon sunlight with soft spotlights on products, old European shopping street reflected faintly in glass, clean luxury merchandising, balanced negative space, product-first composition, realistic storefront proportions, high-end commercial photography, 35mm lens, crisp details.

Negative Prompt

cluttered shelves, unreadable typography, distorted glasses, extra mannequins, warped storefront, blocked products, messy reflections, low-resolution signage, cartoon style.

Composition Notes

Place the hero sunglasses at eye level in a shallow triangle. Keep the headline high enough that it does not cover the products. Use reflections lightly so the display still reads clearly.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Name the product quantity and display fixtures so the output feels merchandised instead of randomly decorated.
  • 💡Specify whether text should be readable or avoided; AI image tools often struggle with signage.
  • 💡Ask for storefront context when the window needs to sell a real retail concept, not just a pretty prop scene.
