The prompt

ROLE You are an expert image-prompt specialist crafting copy-ready prompts for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). GOAL Create a photorealistic portrait of a blonde woman rendered in a full synthwave color palette — preserving the original concept: neon-saturated 1980s retro-futuristic aesthetic, vibrant pink-purple-cyan color grading, dramatic backlighting, and cinematic...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • Synthwave palette components are named with specific colors — neon magenta, electric cyan, deep indigo/purple — not just 'synthwave colors'.
  • Backlight halo on hair is described as a primary practical light source, not an afterthought.
  • Cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio and retrowave color grade are explicitly stated to prevent standard portrait treatment.
