T
Numerous strategies exist for crafting an AI-generated image. TheAdvanced Prompt
Structurerepresents a method for structuring prompts that simplifies the process and
helps guide the user in creating amazing images.
heBasic Prompt Structurestands on its own, specifically designed to simplify and
T
accelerate the initial prompt creation. It also serves as the first layer of the Advanced
Prompt Structure, specifying the image style. Once the initial prompt has been created,
then we can move seamlessly to the Advanced Prompt Structure.
The Advanced Prompt Structure is arranged into three layers:
1-specify the Image style
sword and sorcery, film still, asian warrior woman
2-describe the subject
word and sorcery, lowkey photography, film still, wide shot, warrior woman in armor with a dark teal skirt, with
s
an angry expression holding a sword, grey misty wuxia ruins in a dark brown forest
3-enhance the visuals

skirt, with an angry expression swinging a sword with flying dirt on the floor, motion blur, speed streaks, grey
misty wuxia (ruins:1.1) in a dark brown forest, sunset golden hour, backlight, dark orange and red colors
1. Specify the Image Style (Basic Prompt Structure)
he most fundamental step in generating an AI image is choosing the style of the image.
T
Here, we will decide on the art direction we will take. Who or what is the subject? And are
we going to create a realistic or a digital image?
1. 2. 3. 5.
Genre Photography Style Medium Subject
enre:(e.g., fantasy, noir, science fiction)
G
Style:(e.g., portrait photography, lowkey photography, surrealist photography)
Medium:(e.g., still image, pixar render, manga, digital painting)
Subject/action:(e.g., portrait of a woman smiling, a cat sleeping, a car racing)
2. Describe the Subject (Advanced Prompt Structure)
If the initial direction of our image aligns with our vision, we can then add components
from the 2nd layer of theAdvanced Prompt Structureto describe the image even more.
And find answers to: What kind of emotion shows the subject? What are they doing? and in
what kind of scene is it all taking place? If we prefer a simple subject, we could move
straight to the third layer to enhance our image.
4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Camera Angle Subject Emotions Action Scenery
amera Angle/shot:(e.g., low angle, bird's eye view, close-up)
C
Emotion/Expressions:(e.g., joyful, somber, surprised)
Action:(e.g., leaning against wall, sitting cross-legged, running)
Scenery:(e.g., mountainous landscape, bustling city street, serene beach)
3. Enhance the Visuals (Advanced Prompt Structure)
In this layer, by using modifiers that improve quality or manipulate the style, we can
enhance our image even further. We can apply cinematic and photographic techniques like
detailed lens effects, varied lighting styles, and the careful use of color to enhance the style
of our image, and we can use special AI specific keywords that can increase the overall
quality leading to a more sophisticated end result.
