VII. Sample Image Prompts
As a beginner, you may not be able to generate picture perfect, "wow" quality images form Day One. Below I have mentioned some sample commands or keywords to use while describing the image you want to create. Many of these are examples that I have used in this book, or I tested these out while helping friends, colleagues or folks I have known in the online world. Feel free to modify, edit, tweak
Tip: try and create images from Stable Diffusion based sites for starters. They will have shorter learning curve, less frustration. Watch out for extra limbs and some quirks in the hands!
Stable Diffusion Prompt Book: https://stability.ai/sdv2-prompt-book
Negative Prompts: (from Nightcafe) ugly, tiling, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn feet, poorly drawn face, out of frame, extra limbs, disfigured, deformed, body out of frame, blurry, bad anatomy, blurred, watermark, grainy, signature, cut off, draft
#Yes, I tried prompts using chatGPT too!
Like many folks you may know of - in person or online, I also tried generating prompts using chatGPT. Call me Old School (or an Old Fool), I suppose this was not my cup of tea. I am posting a couple of sample prompts for your perusal.
One standout exception to the above statement was generating the prompts for the Home Interiors Project, which is featured in the following section.
In the below paragraphs, the question was asked by me and the Answer was provided by chatGPT. This 'conversation' took place in mid-December 2022.
Q. Can you give me an image prompt for a rock concert that takes place on the North Pole?
A. Here is a possible image prompt for a rock concert that takes place on the North Pole:
In the frigid, icy landscape of the North Pole, a massive stage has been erected, surrounded by snow-covered hills and frozen tundra. The stage is lit up with colorful lights, and a huge crowd of people, bundled up in warm coats and hats, is gathered to watch the show. The band is performing on the stage, dressed in heavy coats and gloves to protect against the cold, and they are playing their hearts out, belting out rock and roll hits to the cheering crowd. The sound of the music echoes across the frozen landscape, and the crowd is going wild, dancing and singing along to the music. The setting may be cold, but the energy and excitement of the rock concert is electric, and everyone is having the time of their lives.
I thought it was unfair to mentions just the North Pole- so I thought of a prompt for South Pole, which brought me to penguins, which in turn reminded me of Linux.
Q. Can you give me an image prompt for a logo for a new linux distribution?
Sure, here is a potential image prompt for a logo for a new Linux distribution:
Imagine a stylized, abstract representation of the world, with the continents and oceans depicted in a modern and minimalist style. In the center of the image, there is a stylized, futuristic-looking computer or server, with sleek lines and sharp angles. The computer is surrounded by a swirling vortex of energy or data, representing the power and potential of the Linux distribution.
The color scheme of the logo is predominantly blue, representing the digital world and the vastness of the ocean, with accents of green, representing innovation and progress. The overall design is bold and eye-catching, conveying the power and potential of the Linux distribution.
