AI Art and Image Generation Prompts
Detailed prompts for Midjourney, DALL-E, and other text-to-image AIs to generate cinematic shots, portraits, mockups, and more.
How to Use These Prompts
- Copy a prompt and change anything in ALL-CAPS (e.g., SUBJECT, STYLE).
- Paste the final prompt into your text-to-image tool (Midjourney, DALL·E 3, Stable Diffusion, etc.).
- For Midjourney users, the suggested flags (e.g., --ar, --v) are already included. Feel free to tweak them.
- For other tools like Stable Diffusion, you can ignore the flags but keep the descriptive text.

About the Prompt Library
Unlocking AI's Potential with Better Prompts
The quality of output you get from a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT is directly proportional to the quality of the prompt you provide. A simple question gets a simple answer. A detailed, structured prompt gets a detailed, structured, and far more useful response. Our Prompt Library is designed to give you that advantage.
Why Structured Prompts Matter
A "structured prompt" is more than just a question; it's a set of instructions that guides the AI. It typically includes:
- Role-Playing: Assigning a role to the AI (e.g., "Act as an SEO expert," "You are a brand strategist").
- Context: Providing the necessary background information (e.g., your target audience, brand name, specific goals).
- A Clear Task: Defining exactly what you want the AI to do (e.g., "Write a 1000-word blog post," "Generate a 7-day content plan").
- Formatting Instructions: Specifying the desired output format (e.g., "Use H2 and H3 headings," "Return as a table," "Keep it under 150 words").
By using structured prompts like the ones in our library, you can transform the AI from a simple chatbot into a powerful assistant for content creation, strategic planning, and creative brainstorming.
Tips & FAQs
Pro Tips
- Combine prompts for more powerful results. Use the "Brand Voice" prompt first, then feed the output into a "Social Media Calendar" prompt for perfectly toned content.
- After getting a response, use follow-up commands like "Make it shorter," "Rewrite this in a more casual tone," or "Expand on point number 3" to refine the output.
- For AI art prompts, don't be afraid to change a single keyword (e.g., changing "cinematic lighting" to "dramatic lighting") to see how it alters the mood and style.
