Style prompt guide

Style traits to keep

A hard-edge screenprint portrait of an older Black market porter in a cream shirt and cobalt waistcoat, holding an empty coral crate. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst suits it because the prompt names a limited palette, flat angular planes and a print surface, so the result reads as a deliberate poster rather than a photo.

This look comes from a few strict choices: very few colours, flat shapes and visible print flaws. Keep all of them or it slips into ordinary illustration.

Palette
Cream, cobalt and coral are the three inks, with paper showing through as the light tone. Each colour sits on a separate job: shirt, waistcoat, crate, so the figure stays readable.
Line and shape
Angular planes replace gradients, so cheeks, jaw and wall break into sharp facets. This is what makes it hard-edge rather than a soft portrait.
Texture
Matte archival paper and slight misregistration add a tactile, hand-pulled feel, with tiny gaps and overlaps where inks meet.
Light and composition
Side sunlight becomes a bold split of light and shadow shapes. Clean open margins frame the porter like a gallery print and keep the plain wall calm.

What defines this look

  1. Frame formatVertical 4:5 portrait frame.

    Sets a tall portrait shape that fits one standing figure and leaves room for margins. Remove it and the model may pick a square or wide frame that crops the crate or adds empty space.

  2. Subject and coloursA hard-edge portrait of an older Black market porter in a cream work shirt and cobalt waistcoat, holding an empty coral crate against his hip.

    Defines who is shown, his clothes and his one prop. The cream, cobalt and coral names double as the palette, so changing a colour here changes the whole print.

  3. Hard-edge shapingAngular planes describe his smiling face and the plain warehouse wall behind him.

    Tells the model to build the face and wall from flat geometric shapes instead of smooth shading. Without it you get a soft painterly portrait, and the smile keeps the mood warm.

  4. Print mediumThree-color screenprint on matte archival paper, slight ink misregistration,

    Limits the image to three inks and adds a paper feel. The misregistration gives small offset edges that look handmade. Drop it and the colours look too clean and digital.

  5. Light, mood, exclusionsstrong illustrated side sunlight and clean open margins, warmth and everyday dignity, no logos, no text.

    Side light is drawn as flat shadow shapes, margins keep a poster border, and the mood words steer the expression. The exclusions stop invented signs on the crate or wall.

Same style, new subjects

Fishmonger's wife

Same style on a different person; use it for a series of working portraits.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A hard-edge portrait of an older woman fishmonger in a cream apron and cobalt headscarf, holding an empty coral bucket at her side. Angular planes describe her smiling face and the plain tiled wall behind her. Three-color screenprint on matte archival paper, slight ink misregistration, strong illustrated side sunlight and clean open margins, warmth and everyday dignity, no logos, no text.

Sleeping dog

Swaps the person for a pet while keeping the print wording.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 frame. A hard-edge portrait of a sleepy brown dog curled on a cobalt cushion beside an empty coral bowl. Angular planes describe its face and the plain cream wall behind it. Three-color screenprint on matte archival paper, slight ink misregistration, strong illustrated side sunlight and clean open margins, calm and cozy, no logos, no text.

Quiet city street

Moves the style to a scene without people, good for wall art.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 frame. A hard-edge view of an empty city street with a cream bakery front, cobalt shutters and a coral bicycle leaning on the curb. Angular planes describe the buildings and the paved road. Three-color screenprint on matte archival paper, slight ink misregistration, strong illustrated side sunlight and clean open margins, peaceful morning mood, no logos, no text.

Model and settings

Keep the 4:5 ratio, since the tall frame suits a single standing figure and a poster-style border. Keep quality on high so the flat color edges and fine misregistration stay crisp. For a landscape street scene, switch to a wider ratio and mention the layout in the prompt. Text-to-image mode needs no input picture, so only the wording controls the look.

  • Seedream 5.0 ProPick it when you want more fine detail in the face and clothing, or when you have reference images of a real outfit or crate design to match.
  • FLUX.2 ProChoose it if you want tighter control of the exact cream, cobalt and coral by giving hex color values in the prompt.

When the style drifts

The style washes out into a soft digital illustration with gradients.
Repeat the key terms: add "flat solid color shapes, no gradients, no soft shading" next to "Angular planes".
Extra colors appear, such as green, brown or skin-tone shading, breaking the three-color look.
Add "only three inks: cream, cobalt and coral, plus paper white" and name the skin as one of those flat colors.
The crate or wall gets invented lettering or logos.
Keep "no logos, no text" at the end and add "plain unmarked crate, blank wall".
The porter looks stern or the face becomes too detailed and realistic.
Stress "broad smile, simplified features, few facets" and remove any extra face detail words.

Questions about this style prompt

How do I make an AI image look like a real screenprint?

Name the number of colors, the paper and a flaw, as this prompt does with "Three-color screenprint", "matte archival paper" and "ink misregistration". Those three cues push the model toward flat inks and offset edges.

Can I change the porter's clothes and keep the style?

Yes. Swap the colour words, such as a mustard shirt and teal waistcoat, but keep to three colors in total. Adding a fourth makes the print feel less limited and more like a normal illustration.

Why does the prompt say no text when a market scene often has signs?

Image models often add made-up lettering to crates and walls. Saying "no logos, no text" keeps the surfaces plain, which fits the clean margins and the hard-edge shapes of this poster.
