Visually AI

A practical guide to writing AI image prompts without referencing copyrighted film or animation styles like 'Blade Runner' or 'Studio Ghibli.' Instead of using IP shorthand, the approach breaks down each style into its actual visual components: lighting, lens choice, color palette, texture, and composition. Two prompt frameworks are provided: a beginner structure covering subject, description, setting, lighting, and style, and an advanced structure adding lens specs, action, atmosphere, color direction, mood, and technical detail. Three before-and-after prompt examples demonstrate how the advanced approach produces more controlled, specific results.
