Tips for Effective Use of the AI Image Generator
Table of Contents
AI usually delivers the best results when guided by clear, precise instructions.
Here are some prompt writing tips on how to try to make the most of the AI Image Generator for your email campaigns:
Be Specific and Descriptive
Clarity is key when creating prompts. The more specific and detailed your prompt, the more accurately the AI can generate the desired output.
Think about subject, context/background, and style.
- Subject: The object, person, animal, or scenery you want an image of.
- Context/Background: The setting in which the subject will be placed, e.g., outdoors, indoor environments.
- Style: Even if you don’t select a specific style, you can describe the desired visual style inside the prompt itself. This can be something general (painting, photograph, sketches) or very specific (pastel painting, charcoal drawing, isometric 3D).
For example: A pastel painting of a person in a business meeting.
In this example the person is the subject, the business meeting is the context, and the style is pastel painting.
Use Specific Modifiers
We also recommend that you add to your prompt for image generation the following specifics:
- Camera proximity – e.g., close-up, zoomed out
- Camera position – e.g., aerial, from below
- Lighting – e.g., natural, dramatic, warm, cold
- Camera settings – e.g., motion blur, soft focus, bokeh
- Lens types – e.g., 35mm, macro
- Film types – e.g., black and white, polaroid
Guide the Tone
The AI can adapt its output’s tone based on your instructions. If you want a specific emotional or stylistic tone – such as formal, casual, humorous, dramatic, or natural – make sure to mention this directly in your prompt.
This will help the AI’s generated image to match your brand’s desired voice and the emotional message you want to convey.
Prohibited Content for AI Image Generation
Image generation may not be successfully completed, if a prompt contains or results in a content that is detected by the AI Image Generation filters as harmful, abusive, harassing, dangerous, hateful, toxic, violent, vulgar, etc.
Categories in which you may not be able to generate an image include, but are not limited to:
- Celebrity: Photorealistic representations of celebrities are often detected and filtered.
- Violence: Content related to violence.
- Hate: Content related to hate-related topics.
- Sexual: Content that is sexual in nature.
- Toxic: Content related to toxic topics.
- Vulgar: Content that is vulgar in nature.
If an input prompt (image description) triggers a safety filter, an image will not be generated:
