# Prompt Writing Rules
|
|
|
|
Rules for generating high-quality image generation prompts. Apply these when writing the final prompt in Step 5.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Visual Precision
|
|
|
|
Always describe:
|
|
|
|
- **Background texture** (e.g., off-white aged paper, black halftone shadows, light gray grid texture)
|
|
- **Font style** (e.g., handwritten, serif print, colorful block-lettering, monospace technical)
|
|
|
|
Omitting these causes the image model to make arbitrary choices that undermine the intended aesthetic.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Color Avoidance
|
|
|
|
Never use hexadecimal color codes (`#RRGGBB` format). Use specific color names instead.
|
|
|
|
| Instead of | Use |
|
|
|------------|-----|
|
|
| `#FF6B6B` | coral red |
|
|
| `#2D3748` | deep slate gray |
|
|
| `#F6E05E` | warm yellow |
|
|
| `#68D391` | sage green |
|
|
|
|
## 3. Text Citation
|
|
|
|
All copy intended to appear as text in the image must be enclosed in `"double quotes"`.
|
|
|
|
- Correct: a bold label reading `"Step 1: Define the Problem"`
|
|
- Incorrect: a bold label reading Step 1: Define the Problem
|
|
|
|
This lets the image model distinguish between descriptive instructions and literal text to render.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Arrow Minimalism
|
|
|
|
Minimize the use of arrows. Prefer spatial proximity to imply flow and connection.
|
|
|
|
When arrows are necessary:
|
|
|
|
- Specify exact **start point** and **end point** (e.g., "an arrow from the 'Input' box pointing to the 'Process' box")
|
|
- Never use vague orientations like "a horizontal arrow" or "a vertical arrow"
|
|
|
|
## 5. Semantic Correspondence
|
|
|
|
Every icon, illustration, or decorative element must correspond semantically to the adjacent text content. Avoid generic decorative elements that could apply to any topic.
|
|
|
|
## 6. Punctuation Hygiene
|
|
|
|
Never use quotation marks when describing:
|
|
|
|
- Style (e.g., write: flat design aesthetic — not: "flat design" aesthetic)
|
|
- Layout structure (e.g., write: three-column grid — not: "three-column grid")
|
|
- Colors or textures
|
|
- Moods or feelings
|
|
|
|
Quotation marks are reserved exclusively for **Rule 3: Text Citation**.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Step Granularity
|
|
|
|
If the content contains stages, steps, or a sequence:
|
|
|
|
- Detail **every single step** individually
|
|
- Never merge or compress multiple steps into one
|
|
- Each step gets its own visual element and label
|
|
|
|
## 8. Data & Encoding
|
|
|
|
All hard data from the source must be:
|
|
|
|
- Preserved **verbatim** — no paraphrasing of numbers, dates, or proper nouns
|
|
- Presented in a visually distinct format: bold text, labeled callout boxes, sticky notes, or data badges
|
