4 templates
Creativity prompts ready to copy
Templates for generating images and creative text by describing clearly what you want. The more specific the description (style, light, framing, colours), the easier it is to get it right first time. Respect image rights and don’t use other people’s photos without permission.
Before you paste it: quick checklist
- Describe style, light, framing and colours in short sentences.
- State the format: portrait, landscape or square.
- Don’t upload photos of other people without their permission.
- If the result isn’t right, change one element at a time.
An image in 5 layers
Generate an image of [subject] in [place]. Style: [style]. Light: [light]. Framing: [shot], format [square / portrait / landscape]. No text, logos or recognisable people.
Colour palette for a project
I want a colour palette for [project: invitation, website, poster, room]. The mood I’m after: [calm / cheerful / elegant]. Give me 5 colours with their hex code, what to use each for (background, text, details) and warn me if any text-and-background combination has too little contrast to read well.
Short script for a video
Write the script for a [30 / 60 / 90]-second video for [platform] about [topic]. Audience: [who]. Structure: a hook in the first 3 seconds, 3 key ideas and an ending with a call to action. Include what appears on screen in each part and the words spoken. No made-up data or figures.
Ideas for a simple logo
I have a [type of business or project] called [name] and I want to convey [values]. Suggest 5 simple logo ideas (symbol, typeface and colours), explain each in two sentences and write a description for each that I can use in an image generator. Don’t copy existing brands.
How to adapt it to your assistant
The template works the same in ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Claude because it only uses plain language. If your assistant supports fixed instructions (custom instructions, Gems or projects), you can store your preferred tone and format there and paste only the variable part. On a free plan, split long requests into two or three shorter messages.
