Style prompt guide

Style traits to keep

A structured recipe infographic turns raw culinary instructions into an inviting, visual cooking poster using GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. It combines clear typographic hierarchy, ingredient flat-lays, numbered process steps, and a finished hero shot on a balanced vertical grid. The clean editorial layout ensures that complex steps remain legible and visually appealing.

The infographic style relies on clean grid design, structured visual hierarchy, and balanced negative space to make multi-part information easy to digest.

Composition
A clear multi-zone layout divides the page into a bold header, a split two-column body, and a bottom hero section.
Palette
Warm kitchen tones like tomato red, olive green, and warm cream keep the food looking appetizing while maintaining contrast.
Line
Clean dividers and neat icon borders frame each step panel clearly without cluttering the page.
Texture
Smooth paper-like negative space contrasts with textured, high-detail food photography in the step and hero panels.

What defines this look

  1. format and subject definitionA clean, appetising recipe infographic for a quick tomato pasta, vertical layout.

    This establishes the graphic design style and overall structure. Removing this makes the model output a standard single dish photograph instead of an organized instructional sheet.

  2. header and metadataTop: the title "15-MINUTE TOMATO PASTA" with small icons for cook time and servings.

    This places the main typographic banner and essential cooking stats at the very top. If altered, the infographic loses its clear headline and magazine-style metadata.

  3. split grid layoutLeft column: an ingredients flat-lay with each item labelled with its amount. Right column: six numbered step panels, each with a small photo-style illustration and one short line of instruction.

    This directs the two-column workflow, separating raw prep items from sequential cooking steps. Removing these positions causes the items and instructions to blend chaotically across the frame.

  4. anchor visual focal pointBottom: the finished dish as a hero shot.

    This gives the viewer an enticing payoff image of the plated meal at the base. Without it, the poster lacks a strong photographic focal point.

  5. aesthetic and legibility ruleWarm kitchen colours, crisp readable text, plenty of white space.

    This controls the overall color palette and spacing, preventing cramped panels or dark, muddy backgrounds that ruin readability.

Model and settings

Keep the aspect ratio at 3:4 to allow enough vertical space for the stacked header, multi-column body, and bottom hero shot without crowding. Set resolution to 1k for fast test renders, and bump up quality to high so text elements and small ingredient labels render clearly. If you plan to print the card or display it on desktop displays, switch the aspect ratio to 2:3 or 9:16 for even more vertical breathing room.

  • Nano Banana ProPick Nano Banana Pro when you need highly complex, multi-section diagrams with dense text, as it specializes in planning intricate layouts before generating.
  • FLUX.2 ProSwitch to FLUX.2 Pro if you want strict control over specific brand colors and exceptionally realistic food photography in the hero panel.

When the style drifts

The step panels merge together into a confusing collage without clear borders.
Add distinct grid instructions such as 'separated by thin border lines and clear panel margins' to enforce strict panel separation.
The ingredient text becomes gibberish or overlaps the food illustrations.
Reduce the total number of items and add 'minimal text labels positioned clearly above each ingredient' to prevent visual crowding.
The background appears dark and cluttered, reducing contrast for the text.
Replace 'warm kitchen colours' with 'bright off-white background with subtle warm kitchen accents' to restore clear negative space.

Questions about this style prompt

Can I change the number of recipe steps in this infographic?

Yes. You can adjust 'six numbered step panels' to three or four steps for simpler recipes. Keeping the count under six ensures each panel has enough room for clear imagery and readable text.

How do I make the generated text more readable?

Keep the requested text short and use high quality mode on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. Specifying 'crisp readable text' and short phrases in quotes helps the model render clean letters.

Can I use a horizontal aspect ratio for this recipe card?

You can change the aspect ratio to 4:3 or 16:9, but you should update the prompt structure to describe a horizontal sequence or a three-column arrangement rather than a vertical stack.
