Gemini Prompts for Posters
Prompt 1: Soft Portrait with Bold Typography
Create a modern vertical social media poster featuring a close-up portrait of a young woman with soft freckles, fair skin, and long light-blonde hair. She has a gentle, natural smile and clear blue-green eyes, photographed in soft natural lighting. The background is a warm peach-to-pink gradient that feels airy and optimistic. The composition is split visually: the portrait occupies the left side, while the right side is overlaid with bold, oversized vertical typography spelling “DESIGN” in tall white sans-serif letters, partially cropped for a contemporary graphic look. On the left side, smaller decorative text reads “YOUR IMAGINATION” in clean uppercase typography, with the word “Here” written in a flowing yellow handwritten script beneath it.

Prompt 2: Fashion Statement with City Lights
Create a luxury fashion poster. A stylish young woman stands confidently in a dynamic pose, one leg slightly bent, conveying surprise and playful energy. She wears a mustard-yellow long-sleeve blouse with a relaxed fit, high-waisted rust-red cropped trousers, and clean white low-top sneakers. Accessories include round red-tinted sunglasses and a structured red handbag, adding bold contrast and a fashion-forward edge. Behind her is a large circular cutout framing a vibrant urban city scene reminiscent of Times Square, with glowing billboards and colorful lights, creating a sense of motion and modern city life. At the top, the word “FASHION” appears in refined black serif typography, centered and spaced generously. At the bottom, a logo and www.example.com are placed subtly, maintaining a premium editorial layout. A faint oversized typographic letterform is embedded in the background as a soft design element, adding depth without distraction.

Prompt 3: Road Trip Vibes
Create a cinematic travel-inspired poster with a bold editorial layout. A young man sits casually on the roof of a vintage orange camper van, legs dangling over the edge, conveying a relaxed, contemplative road-trip mood. He wears a dark jacket layered over a light shirt, slim dark pants, white socks, and clean white sneakers. His posture feels effortless and introspective, looking slightly off to the side rather than at the camera. The van is weathered and slightly worn, with visible paint scuffs and age marks, emphasizing authenticity and adventure. The scene is grounded on an open road surface, but the background is replaced by a flat, textured warm-orange backdrop, creating a strong graphic contrast between realism and poster design. Behind the subject, oversized bold condensed typography spells “VIBING” across the top half of the composition in tall, off-white letters. The text is partially obscured by the subject and vehicle, creating depth and a modern editorial hierarchy. Small minimalist text elements appear subtly along the top edge, mimicking magazine or poster credits.

Prompt 4: EDM Underground Club Energy
Create a dark, high-contrast EDM music poster with a moody, underground club aesthetic. The composition features a monochrome portrait of a young woman from the chest up, shot from a slightly low angle for attitude and power. She wears large over-ear headphones and reflective round sunglasses with warm amber-gold lenses that stand out vividly against the black-and-white portrait. One hand is raised near her head, the other near her chin, creating a dynamic, expressive pose associated with music immersion. Behind her head is a large flat golden-yellow circular shape, like a rising sun or spotlight, creating a strong focal point and visual contrast. The background is deep black with subtle grunge textures, dust, scratches, and poster-wear imperfections, giving it a raw, printed-flyer feel. Bold oversized vertical typography spelling “EDM” runs along the left side in tall, condensed, off-white letters, partially cropped by the edges of the poster. Small minimalist text elements and micro-copy are scattered subtly across the layout, including short phrases like “Life is just like EDM…” and “This is how music is supposed to feel,” reinforcing the emotional connection to music.

Prompt 5: Modern Fashion with Geometric Shapes
Create a modern fashion poster with a bold, geometric editorial layout. The composition features a stylish young man wearing a tailored mustard-yellow suit jacket over a crisp white shirt. He has short, textured hair and wears matching yellow fashion sunglasses. His head is tilted slightly upward, gazing off-frame, conveying confidence, aspiration, and high-fashion attitude. The background is deep charcoal black with subtle concrete-like texture, contrasted by large angular yellow geometric panels that slice diagonally across the composition. These shapes frame the subject dynamically, creating a layered, asymmetrical layout typical of contemporary fashion branding. Typography is clean and modern: bold headline text near the bottom states “BRAND FASHION” in a strong sans-serif font, with “FASHION” emphasized in yellow. Supporting body text appears below in minimal placeholder copy, aligned neatly for a professional magazine or brand campaign look. Small social media icons and a website URL appear subtly in the top corner.

Prompt 6: Personal Branding Collage
Create a modern personal branding “About Me” poster with a clean, editorial collage aesthetic. The layout is vertical and magazine-inspired, combining photography, typography, and hand-drawn graphic accents. The main subject is a fashionable young woman wearing a white cropped top, high-waisted black pants with a subtle chain detail, and chunky white boots. She stands in a confident three-quarter pose, looking back over her shoulder, wearing slim black sunglasses. Her hair is tied back casually, blending elegance with street-style attitude. The primary figure is cut out cleanly and outlined with a bold, offset silhouette glow in warm coral-pink and mustard-yellow, giving a layered, contemporary cut-paper effect. Behind her, the background is soft off-white with subtle paper texture, resembling a modern zine or lifestyle magazine. Large bold sans-serif typography on the left reads “about me.” in lowercase, black, clean, and friendly. Beneath it is a paragraph of personal bio. Small header text at the top includes a social handle and the name “Mary Thomas,” styled in light, modern typography.

Prompt 7: Music and Imagination
Create a whimsical, music-inspired personal poster with a dreamy, imaginative aesthetic. The main subject is a young woman shown in side profile, wearing large white over-ear headphones and an oversized dark denim jacket. Her expression is calm and thoughtful, eyes gazing slightly upward, as if lost in music and imagination. The subject is cut out cleanly in grayscale, while the background is a solid teal-green canvas that feels fresh, creative, and modern. Surrounding her head and body are playful hand-drawn white doodles and line illustrations: musical notes floating on staff lines, a simple crown above her head, stars, planets with rings, rockets, moons, and whimsical space elements. These drawings feel sketch-like, childlike, and expressive, as if drawn with a white marker. Curved arrows and handwritten words such as “Lena,” “explore,” and “travel” appear organically around the subject, reinforcing themes of creativity, curiosity, and imagination. Some small poetic text fragments float subtly in the background, adding an introspective, lyrical mood.

Prompt 8: Rainy Day Street View
Create a moody urban lifestyle poster captured from a first-person, top-down perspective. The camera looks straight down at a pair of worn white sneakers and blue jeans standing on a wet brick sidewalk. The pavement is composed of rectangular bricks in muted tones of gray, green, and reddish-brown, darkened slightly by recent rain. A single dry leaf lies nearby, reinforcing the rainy-weather atmosphere. Integrated seamlessly onto the pavement is bold, modern typography as if printed or projected directly onto the ground. The largest word reads “Heavy Rain.” in oversized white sans-serif letters, with a subtle shadow or texture that makes it feel grounded in the scene. Above it, small minimalist text reads “Today’s Weather”.

Prompt 9: Introspective Music Portrait
Create a vertical dramatic, minimalist music poster featuring a close-up portrait of a young woman with deep auburn hair and soft, natural makeup. She is turned slightly sideways, looking back over her shoulder toward the camera with a calm, introspective, emotionally charged expression. Her bare shoulders and clean styling give the image a timeless, intimate feel. The background is a rich, dark burgundy red with subtle grain and texture, creating warmth and emotional depth. Overlaid on top of the portrait is oversized, bold, condensed white typography spelling “SHE” in all caps. The letters are extremely large and act as a graphic frame, partially masking and slicing through the portrait so that the subject appears integrated within the typography. The typography is clean, modern, and high-contrast, with sharp edges and tight spacing, creating a striking visual hierarchy. The subject’s face aligns carefully between the vertical strokes of the letters, enhancing balance and intentional design. At the very top, a small line of editorial text appears in fine white type, resembling an album or song description—minimal, subtle, and secondary to the main visual. The overall composition is centered, bold, and poster-like, with a strong focus on identity and mood.

Prompt 10: Live Performance Energy
Create a bold, high-energy vertical music poster featuring a young female singer performing live on stage. She is captured mid-performance, holding a microphone close to her mouth, smiling with confidence and charisma. Her hair is styled in messy space buns with loose strands, and she wears an oversized black t-shirt layered with chunky chain necklaces, giving a rebellious, effortless stage presence. The portrait is treated in gritty monochrome with subtle grain and texture, while neon green accents are painted over parts of the image—especially flame-like graphic shapes rising from the bottom of her shirt—adding intensity and visual punch. The background is a flat, textured teal-green surface with visible noise and poster grain. Dominating the composition behind the subject is oversized, rounded, bold yellow typography spelling out the artist’s name in stacked lines. The letters are thick, playful, and slightly retro, filling most of the frame and partially obscured by the performer to create depth. Place her name behind the figure.
