Learn how to describe references, layout, materials, and text through real GPT Image 2 examples. Each lesson highlights a line from its actual prompt and what to inspect in the result.
Assign a Role to Each Reference
Name what each image contributes before describing the final scene. In this example: “Image 1 is the environment and botanical reference.” Compare the desert plants with the first reference and the court geometry with the second.
Use the two uploaded images as complementary visual references.
REFERENCE ROLES:
Image 1 is the environment and botanical reference.
Use Image 1 to guide:
- the open desert atmosphere
- Joshua tree shapes and branching structure
- dry natural terrain
- scattered desert vegetation
- spacious outdoor mood
- warm arid landscape identity
Image 2 is the composition and tennis-court structure reference.
Use Image 2 to guide:
- the camera angle
- the overall court placement
- court proportions
- baseline and service-line geometry
- the central net position
- surrounding open space
- the relationship between the court and the landscape
Do not copy either image literally.
Combine the environmental character of Image 1 with the tennis-court composition of Image 2 to create one coherent new scene.
FINAL SCENE:
Create a dreamy pastel tennis court located in a surreal desert landscape.
The tennis court should use a refined pastel palette with:
- soft blush pink outer areas
- lavender and pale violet playing surfaces
- clean white court lines
- a subtle warm peach transition around the edges
- a pale pink tennis net with realistic mesh texture
Preserve believable tennis-court geometry. Keep the sidelines, baselines, service boxes, center marks, net height and court perspective visually coherent.
ENVIRONMENT:
Surround the court with rolling cream-colored and pale peach sand dunes.
Add several Joshua trees inspired by Image 1, along with tall columnar cacti, round barrel cacti, desert succulents and small flowering plants.
Scatter clusters of pink, coral, orange, yellow and lavender desert flowers around the edges of the court.
Keep the central playing area clean and unobstructed.
Place a simple metal bench near the foreground edge of the court and a minimal referee chair near one side of the net.
The furniture should match the scene’s clean editorial styling without blocking the court.
LIGHTING AND ATMOSPHERE:
Use bright, soft natural daylight under a clear pale-blue sky.
Add a few soft white clouds.
Use gentle shadows, warm highlights and subtle atmospheric depth across the sand dunes.
The mood should feel optimistic, imaginative, premium and calm.
STYLE:
High-end editorial landscape photography blended with polished surreal advertising art.
Pastel color grading, clean commercial composition, realistic materials, precise perspective, crisp court details and refined botanical textures.
The result should feel suitable for a sports-fashion campaign, lifestyle brand advertisement, social media post, website hero image or creative editorial.
COMPOSITION:
Use a wide landscape composition.
Keep the tennis court as the central visual focus.
Use desert plants and flowers to frame the foreground and side edges.
Leave the sky and distant dunes relatively clean to prevent visual clutter.
The scene must feel like one naturally designed environment, not a collage of two separate photographs.
IMPORTANT:
Do not add people or players.
Do not add text, logos, signs, watermarks, brand names or promotional badges.
Do not create extra tennis nets.
Do not distort the court lines or perspective.
Do not place cacti, flowers or furniture inside the active playing area.
Do not reproduce the exact background from either reference image.

Describe the Material Change
Name the new material or treatment, then specify which source features to retain. In this example: “Retain the core outline and iconic features of the subject.” Look for the recognizable building and seating reinterpreted as a raised souvenir-style magnet.
Please generate a minimalist fridge magnet photography poster based on the real photo I provided. The overall style should reference "architectural fridge magnets" or "minimalist collage".
【Layout Structure】Horizontal composition, 3:2 ratio. Minimalist solid color background.
【Fridge Magnet Icon】Extract the most recognizable main subject from the provided photo (e.g., the dining table and chairs) and convert it into a minimalist "fridge magnet-style icon".
Requirements:
1. Retain the core outline and iconic features of the subject.
2. Simple, clean shape, resembling a cute travel souvenir fridge magnet.
3. Add a slight 3D pop-up effect and a subtle drop shadow.
4. The edges must be clear, with a white or light-colored sticker-like border/stroke.
5. Moderately simplify the details; do not make the drawing too complex or hyper-realistic.
6. Place the icon in the upper center part of the image.
7. The icon should be relatively small and delicate, leaving plenty of negative space around it.
【Background Color】Extract the most prominent, memorable, and saturated color from the provided photo for the background. The background must be a solid, flat color—saturated, clean, and giving a travel postcard vibe. Do NOT use gradients, and do NOT add any complex patterns or background clutter.
Separate the Subject from the Layout
Describe the retained subject and the surrounding layout in separate instructions. In this example: “Use a solid deep burgundy, dark brick-red, or muted oxidized-red background that fills the entire canvas.” Compare the outfit references with the central cutout, then inspect the sparse labels around it.
Use my uploaded image as the main person or product asset to create a vertical, vintage fashion collage poster.
Carefully cut out the subject and place it in the center of the composition. Preserve its recognizable clothing, pose, silhouette, proportions, colors, and important details without changing its identity. Present the subject as a clean magazine-style cutout layered directly onto the background. If the uploaded image features a person, the head may be cropped out or extend beyond the top edge so the visual focus remains on the outfit and body shape. If the subject is a product, keep it complete, clear, and easily recognizable.
Use a solid deep burgundy, dark brick-red, or muted oxidized-red background that fills the entire canvas. Do not add a white border, white margins, a paper frame, or empty white space around the poster.
Add only a few white handwritten English words, curved arrows, and casual fashion-sketch doodles on the left and right sides of the subject. The arrows may point toward clothing pieces, accessories, or other important details. The writing should look naturally hand-drawn, slightly irregular, and loosely arranged, like annotations in a fashion designer’s sketchbook. Keep these elements sparse and make sure they do not cover the subject.
The overall visual language should resemble an independent fashion magazine, a clothing-design scrapbook, or an experimental late-20th-century fashion advertisement. Keep the layout minimal and clear, with one central cutout subject against the red background.
Use an approximately 2:3 vertical aspect ratio. The subject should occupy around 75%–85% of the poster’s height and be positioned centrally, slightly toward the bottom.
Keep the final image sharp and clearly defined. Do not add torn-paper edges, rough cutout edges, glue marks, tape, folds, stains, fading, film grain, scanning noise, blur, distressed textures, decorative badges, realistic scenery, complex props, modern interface elements, neon lighting, 3D rendering, or overly vivid colors.
Name Materials and Their Lighting
Pair each important surface with a visible lighting cue. In this example: “a broad softbox reflection across the metal”. Inspect the brushed headphones, fabric cushions, clear block, and their different responses to light.
A photorealistic commercial product photograph of one unbranded pair of brushed-silver wireless over-ear headphones. The headphones rest on a clear rectangular glass block against a seamless pale-cyan background. Show fine metal brushing, soft charcoal fabric ear cushions, a realistic transparent block, a clean contact shadow, and a broad softbox reflection across the metal. Use an eye-level three-quarter camera angle and a restrained monochrome palette. One pair of headphones only, no people, letters, logos, packaging, border, or watermark. Vertical 3:4 composition with the whole product visible.
Place the Light Sources
Give the main object, background event, and light sources clear positions. In this example: “one lit ivory candle on the desk to the right of the globe”. Look for the globe in front, lightning behind it, and the warm candle beside it.
Create a finished 3:4 photorealistic editorial image of exactly one clear glass snow globe resting on a dark walnut desk during a thunderstorm. Inside the globe is one miniature Victorian greenhouse containing exactly three red orchids and one small brass telescope. Place a sharp lightning bolt in the upper-left background and one lit ivory candle on the desk to the right of the globe. Use realistic glass reflections and refractions, cool blue storm light from the left, warm candlelight from the right, shallow depth of field, and detailed natural materials. Keep the entire globe visible. No people, no extra flowers, no extra globes, no text, no logo, no watermark.
Specify Panel Order and Exact Text
For a multi-panel design, state the panel sequence and the words each panel needs. In this example: “Panel 1 shows a simple hand grinder and coffee beans, with the exact heading 'GRIND'.” Check the GRIND, BREW, and POUR labels against the illustrations and their top-to-bottom order.
Create a clean flat-vector educational infographic in a vertical 3:4 layout with exactly three equal horizontal panels stacked from top to bottom. Panel 1 shows a simple hand grinder and coffee beans, with the exact heading 'GRIND'. Panel 2 shows a pour-over cone over a glass server and a kettle pouring water, with the exact heading 'BREW'. Panel 3 shows a single ceramic cup filled with coffee, with the exact heading 'POUR'. Place the number 1, 2, or 3 beside each corresponding heading. Use teal, coral, cream, and dark-navy colors, consistent line weights, generous spacing, and a left-to-right illustration-and-label arrangement within every panel. Keep the three panels distinct and correctly ordered. No extra text, border, photorealistic imagery, or watermark.
