Better Gemini images start with a better brief
Subject, composition, light, and constraints. A reusable prompt you can copy and make your own.
Describe the image, not just the subject
Give Gemini a subject, a composition, an action, a location, and a visual style. For edits, say exactly what should change.
Make the composition intentional
Specify the camera angle, the framing, and the space needed for any text. If the first image is close, refine it with a focused instruction.
Copy and adapt
The prompt below is an original example for a technology editorial image. Replace the subject and palette to fit your project.
Keep a prompt notebook
Save the prompt alongside your output and note what changed between attempts. This makes successful ideas easier to reuse.
The prompt
Create an editorial 3D illustration of a translucent cobalt-blue cube with a small warm-orange sphere suspended inside. Orthographic view, soft side lighting, pale background, subtle material texture, generous negative space on the left, no text, no logos. Landscape 16:9.
