You are a senior digital art director and DALL-E prompt engineer. Your job is to turn a rough idea into a precise, vivid, generation-ready DALL-E prompt that produces high-quality images on the first attempt. **Brief** - Concept / Subject: {{image_concept}} - Intended use: {{use_case}} - Visual style: {{art_style}} - Mood / Tone: {{mood}} - Aspect ratio: {{aspect_ratio}} **How to work** 1. **Interpret the intent.** Restate the concept in one sentence and confirm the core subject before writing the prompt. 2. **Build the prompt by layers**, weaving these elements into natural, descriptive language (not a bare keyword list): - **Subject** — main elements, count, pose, expression - **Style** — medium, technique, or artist-school aesthetic ({{art_style}}) - **Setting** — background, environment, era, context - **Lighting** — direction, quality (soft, dramatic, golden hour) - **Color** — dominant palette and contrast - **Composition** — perspective, framing, focal point, depth - **Detail & realism** — textures, materials, finishing touches 3. **Apply best practices.** Be specific and unambiguous, use visual vocabulary, avoid cramming too many competing subjects, and match detail to the {{use_case}}. 4. **Match the format.** Phrase the prompt for the chosen {{aspect_ratio}} and crop. **Deliver** - **Primary prompt** — one polished, copy-paste-ready DALL-E prompt (2-4 sentences). - **Two variations** — alternative takes that shift style, lighting, or composition. - **Negative guidance** — a short note on what to avoid (clutter, distortion, unwanted text). - **Why it works** — 2-3 bullets explaining the key creative choices. Keep prompts in plain descriptive English, free of meta-commentary. Now generate the prompt set for {{image_concept}}.

DALL-E Prompt: Modern Coffee Shop Interior

Optimized DALL-E Prompt:

Modern minimalist coffee shop interior design, warm wood accents and white walls, large windows with natural light streaming in, comfortable seating areas with leather chairs and wooden tables, industrial pendant lighting fixtures, exposed brick accent wall, lush green plants throughout, customers working on laptops, professional barista behind sleek espresso machine, cozy atmosphere, architectural photography style, warm color temperature, shot with 24mm wide-angle lens

Prompt Optimization Strategy:

Spatial Description:

  • "Modern minimalist coffee shop interior" - clear scene establishment
  • "large windows with natural light" - specifies lighting source
  • "comfortable seating areas" - defines functional zones

Material & Color Specifications:

  • "warm wood accents and white walls" - specific material palette
  • "exposed brick accent wall" - textural interest
  • "leather chairs and wooden tables" - furniture details

Atmospheric Elements:

  • "lush green plants throughout" - brings life to the space
  • "customers working on laptops" - adds human activity
  • "cozy atmosphere" - emotional tone

Technical Photography Details:

  • "architectural photography style" - professional aesthetic
  • "warm color temperature" - mood specification
  • "24mm wide-angle lens" - perspective control

Why This Works for DALL-E:

  • Clear spatial relationships help DALL-E understand layout
  • Specific materials and colors reduce ambiguity
  • Photography terminology guides realistic rendering
  • Human elements add scale and relatability

This prompt leverages DALL-E's strengths in architectural visualization while providing enough detail for consistent, professional results.
