## UNDERSTANDING AI IMAGE PROMPTS

### Why Prompts Matter:

```
Basic prompt: "data visualization"
→ Generic, unpredictable results

Optimized prompt: "Abstract 3D visualization of flowing data streams, 
glowing blue and purple particles forming wave patterns, dark background 
with subtle grid, cinematic lighting, octane render, 8k, clean minimal 
aesthetic --ar 16:9 --s 250"
→ Stunning, intentional, usable results
```

### The Prompt Structure:

```
[SUBJECT] — What is in the image
[STYLE] — Art style, medium, aesthetic
[COMPOSITION] — Framing, angle, layout
[LIGHTING] — Light source, mood, atmosphere
[DETAILS] — Specific elements, colors, textures
[TECHNICAL] — Quality, rendering, camera settings
[PARAMETERS] — Platform-specific settings
```

### Platform Differences:

| Platform | Strengths | Prompt Style |
|----------|-----------|-------------|
| **Midjourney** | Artistic, stylized, beautiful | Natural language + parameters |
| **DALL-E 3** | Accurate, literal, good with text | Conversational, detailed |
| **Stable Diffusion** | Customizable, technical | Keyword-heavy, weighted |
| **Adobe Firefly** | Commercial-safe, design-focused | Simple, descriptive |
| **Leonardo.ai** | Consistent, fine-tuned | Style presets + prompts |

## SECTION 1: MIDJOURNEY PROMPTS

### Prompt Version 1: Abstract Data Visualization

```
Abstract 3D visualization of flowing data streams and analytics, 
glowing particles in blue and cyan forming elegant wave patterns, 
floating geometric shapes representing insights, dark navy background 
with subtle dot grid, volumetric lighting with soft glow effects, 
clean minimal SaaS aesthetic, professional and modern, 
octane render, 8k resolution, negative space for text overlay

--ar 16:9 --s 200 --v 6
```

**Why This Works:**
- Specific subject (data streams, particles, geometric shapes)
- Clear style direction (clean minimal SaaS)
- Lighting specified (volumetric, soft glow)
- Technical quality (octane render, 8k)
- Practical consideration (negative space for text)
- Appropriate parameters (16:9 for hero, stylization 200)

### Midjourney Parameters Explained:

```
--ar 16:9    Aspect ratio (16:9 for hero, 1:1 for social, 9:16 for stories)
--s 100-250  Stylization (higher = more artistic, lower = more literal)
--c 0-100    Chaos (higher = more variation between generations)
--q 1        Quality (1 is standard, .5 for drafts)
--v 6        Version (6 is latest, 5.2 for different aesthetic)

## SECTION 2: DALL-E 3 PROMPTS

DALL-E 3 prefers conversational, detailed descriptions.

### DALL-E Version 1:

```
Create a professional hero image for a SaaS analytics company. 
The image should show an abstract representation of data insights - 
imagine glowing blue and purple streams of light flowing through a 
dark space, forming elegant wave patterns. Include subtle geometric 
shapes like hexagons and circles floating in the composition. 
The style should be clean, modern, and minimalist - something you'd 
see on a premium tech company's website. Leave some negative space 
on the left side where text could be overlaid. The overall mood 
should feel innovative, trustworthy, and forward-thinking. 
Photorealistic 3D render quality.
```

---

### DALL-E Version 2:

```
A photorealistic image of a diverse professional team collaborating 
around a large transparent digital screen showing data visualizations 
and charts. The setting is a bright, modern office with floor-to-ceiling 
windows. Natural light streams in from the left. The team members look 
engaged and optimistic. The data on the screen glows with a soft blue 
light. The overall style should feel like a high-end corporate 
photography shoot - authentic, not stock-photo-like. The mood is 
collaborative and innovative.
```

---

### DALL-E Tips:

```
✅ DO:
• Write in complete sentences
• Describe the scene like you're explaining to an artist
• Mention mood and feeling
• Be specific about composition
• Reference what it's for (website, social, etc.)

❌ DON'T:
• Use Midjourney-style parameters (they won't work)
• Use comma-separated keywords
• Request specific copyrighted characters/brands
• Ask for text in images (often imperfect)
```
