people on motorbikes" isn't going to get you consistent results across multiple AI models, especially for a "vintage travel poster." A lot of these prompts are still too open to interpretation for the current state of these tools. The iterative part is crucial, but it also highlights the gap between a prompt and what you actually want.
Reminds me a lot of the early days of vector graphics, honestly. We'd spend hours tweaking bezier curves for just the right "effect," and the prompt here for "Hanoi's Old Quarter" with "vintage travel poster style" and "art deco elements" is basically describing the same iterative process, just with words instead of mouse clicks. You still need that eye for what makes a good visual, even if the computer is doing the heavy lifting now. The AI is a tool, not a replacement for good design principles. People forget that.
Tried that "Hanoi Old Quarter, vintage travel poster" prompt with our in-house model. Output was good, but the "serene yet lively" part still needs tweaking. Tricky balance for AI.
This reminds me of a client who insisted on AI-generated tourism ads for a niche destination in Southeast Asia, but the first few rounds of prompts kept giving us AI art that felt… too generic, like a stock photo came to life. We ended up having to get really specific with historical periods and local flora just to get something that didn't look like it could be anywhere.
this is cool, especially for visual ideas. though i wonder if models trained on more japanese datasets would be better for the "Tokyo at Night" prompt. like, to get the real feeling, not just a cyberpunk filter on any city. i've been playing with some local models for my own projects and the nuance is pretty wild.
The "vintage travel poster style" prompt for Hanoi's Old Quarter is a neat idea, but getting AI to consistently nail that slightly faded, Art Deco feel without veering into pastiche can be rather tricky. It often takes a fair bit of finessing beyond just the initial prompt, even with a good model.
