Pro tip

Use clear and concise prompts. Instead of vague descriptions, be specific about what you want to see in the image. This will help the AI understand your vision better and yield improved results.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid overly complex prompts or including too much text. This can confuse the AI and lead to unreadable or cluttered images. Stick to a clear main idea and a simple phrase for best outcomes.
