Style prompt guide

Style traits to keep

A cream cotton napkin printed with fern and grass silhouettes in cyanotype blue, photographed from above on a weathered garden table. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst suits it because the prompt names one clear subject, a tight palette and a camera view, so the craft look stays clean and the square frame stays balanced.

This look combines the old cyanotype print with a bright, tidy craft flat-lay. These traits make it recognisable.

Palette
Deep cobalt blue against warm cream, with soft green as a minor accent. Limiting it to three colours keeps the image calm and makes the blue print the clear centre.
Line
Fern fronds and grass stems appear as sharp white-on-blue or blue-on-cream silhouettes. The fine edges are what make it read as a sun-exposed print rather than a painting.
Texture
Cotton weave, aged tabletop wood and the sheen of glass are all asked for as 'tactile craft materials'. Without them, the surfaces turn smooth and digital.
Light
Crisp midday sun creates strong, defined leaf shadows over the scene. The light echoes the sun exposure that makes a cyanotype, which ties subject and style together.

What defines this look

  1. Main subject and setupA single cream cotton napkin treated for cyanotype printing lies on a weathered garden table beneath clear glass

    This names the cloth, the cyanotype process and the glass pressing it flat. Without 'cyanotype' you get a generic printed napkin; without the glass, the plants may look scattered instead of pressed into the fabric.

  2. Pattern and compositionfern fronds and delicate grass stems creating one bold botanical arrangement

    Ferns give large feathery shapes and grass adds thin lines. 'One bold arrangement' keeps the design as a single focal pattern. Remove it and the model may fill the cloth with small repeating motifs.

  3. Supporting propsA cobalt mixing bowl and mint clothespin sit at the edge.

    These two small objects tell the craft story and add a deeper blue and a soft green accent. Placing them 'at the edge' keeps them from covering the print. Drop them and the scene feels emptier.

  4. Camera and lightPhotograph from above with a 50mm lens, crisp midday sunlight and leaf shadows

    The overhead view makes a flat-lay, and 50mm keeps proportions natural without wide-angle stretching. Midday sun gives hard, clear shadows. Change it to 'overcast' and the leaf shadows soften or vanish.

  5. Palette, mood, exclusionsblue, cream and soft green palette, tactile craft materials and the quiet pleasure of making something, no logos, no text.

    The three colours stop the image drifting into random hues. 'Tactile craft materials' pushes visible fabric weave and wood grain. 'No logos, no text' prevents stray printed labels on the cloth or props.

Same style, new subjects

Cyanotype tote on a bench

Swaps the napkin for a bag and the plants for oak and wildflowers. Use it for a more practical craft product.

Prompt

Square 1:1 frame. A single cream canvas tote bag treated for cyanotype printing lies on a weathered potting bench beneath clear glass, oak leaves and wildflower stems creating one bold botanical arrangement. A cobalt watering can and mint trowel sit at the edge. Photograph from above with a 50mm lens, crisp midday sunlight and leaf shadows, blue, cream and soft green palette, tactile craft materials, no logos, no text.

Cyanotype scarf on a street cafe table

Moves the style to a city cafe setting with a scarf. Good for lifestyle or fashion-adjacent images.

Prompt

Square 1:1 frame. A single cream linen scarf treated for cyanotype printing lies on a small iron cafe table beneath clear glass, ginkgo leaves and thin grass stems creating one bold botanical arrangement. A cobalt espresso cup and mint paper straw sit at the edge. Photograph from above with a 50mm lens, crisp midday sunlight and leaf shadows, blue, cream and soft green palette, tactile craft materials, no logos, no text.

Cyanotype pillow still life

A quieter home-textile still life. Use it for cosy interior or gift ideas.

Prompt

Square 1:1 frame. A single cream cotton pillowcase treated for cyanotype printing lies on a pale wooden windowsill beneath clear glass, lavender sprigs and feather grass creating one bold botanical arrangement. A cobalt ceramic jug and mint ribbon sit at the edge. Photograph from above with a 50mm lens, crisp midday sunlight and leaf shadows, blue, cream and soft green palette, tactile craft materials, no logos, no text.

Model and settings

Keep the 1:1 ratio, since the prompt starts with 'Square 1:1 frame' and the overhead arrangement is built to sit inside a square. Keep quality on high, because fine fern edges, fabric weave and glass reflections depend on detail. For a product banner, change the ratio to a wider one and say in the prompt that the napkin sits off-centre, leaving room for space. Keep the 'no text' line for any version.

  • FLUX.2 ProPick it if you want a more photoreal finish on the cloth weave, wood grain and glass, or tighter control of the blue by naming exact hex colours.
  • Seedream 5.0 ProA good choice for high-detail results, especially if you later want to edit the image using real photos of ferns or fabric as references.

When the style drifts

The print looks like a normal blue pattern, not a cyanotype.
Add 'white fern silhouettes on deep Prussian blue cotton, soft uneven exposure edges'. Naming the white-on-blue contrast pushes the model toward real sun-print results.
The props overpower the napkin.
Keep 'at the edge' and add 'small in frame, napkin fills most of the picture'. This stops the bowl and clothespin from stealing the focus.
Shadows come out soft and the light looks flat.
Keep 'crisp midday sunlight' and add 'hard-edged leaf shadows across the glass'. Remove words like 'soft' or 'diffused' from the lighting.
Colours drift to bright green or purple-blue.
Repeat the palette with 'cobalt and navy blue, warm cream, muted sage green only' and add 'no other colours'.

Questions about this style prompt

What is a cyanotype and why use it in an AI prompt?

Cyanotype is an old sun-printing process that leaves white plant shapes on a deep blue ground. Naming it gives the model a clear look to follow, so the napkin gets a true blue-and-white botanical print.

Why does the prompt say 'beneath clear glass'?

In real cyanotype printing, glass presses leaves flat on treated cloth while it is exposed to sun. Including it makes the plants look sharply pressed and adds realistic reflections to the flat-lay.

Can I use this prompt for a different fabric or plant?

Yes. Swap 'cotton napkin' for linen or a tote bag and replace ferns with leaves you like. Keep the camera, light and palette lines unchanged, because they hold the style together with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst.
