5 Tips for Perfect Results
- Type your name in CAPITALS inside the prompt – AI renders capital letters more accurately in 3D text.
- Name spelling wrong in output? Regenerate and add: “spell the name exactly as written: [YOUR NAME]” – text accuracy improves with this line.
- For DP/status prompts, mention the format (circular/9:16 vertical) as given – wrong format crops badly on WhatsApp.
- Business posters: add your brand colour in the prompt (“use royal blue as secondary colour”) to match your branding.
- Generate 2-3 variations and pick the best – first result is rarely the finest.
🇮🇳 One Respectful Note
While creating these posters, keep our flag’s dignity in mind – the Flag Code of India expects the tricolor to be depicted respectfully. Avoid prompts that distort the flag, place it upside down, or use it as clothing/floor designs. Every prompt above is written keeping this respect intact – keep it that way in your edits too. Happy 80th Independence Day! 🇮🇳
