About this exercise
You're designing your nonprofit's annual report and want the cover illustration from Gemini. Get Claude to write one paste-ready prompt, plain text, under 110 words: a prompt paragraph and a last line starting "Avoid:". It must say portrait 3:4 (8.5x11), show this year's 3 program areas, leave the top third empty for the title, and include no numbers, charts, text or recognizable faces.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Putting stats on the cover. The AI draws charts and numbers, which image tools garble. Try: Add: "Avoid: numbers, charts, text."
- Old programs. The coding club appears in the notes, and the AI may include it. Try: Add: "Only tutoring, the teen garden and bike repair."
- No room for the title. The scene fills the cover. Try: Add: "Portrait 3:4, top third empty."
- Showing kids' faces. The AI follows the volunteer's idea or draws clear faces. Try: Add: "No recognizable faces."
- Headings and notes. The AI explains its choices. Try: Add: "Output only the prompt and Avoid line."
What a strong prompt includes
- Sets the shape
- Leaves title room
- Names the 3 programs
- Rules out stats
- Protects faces
