YouTube Thumbnail - Extreme Closeup of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft

QuestGlitchNano Banana Pro
Extreme closeup portrait of {argument name="subject" default="Sophie Turner"} as {argument name="character" default="Lara Croft"}, framed in a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio, focusing intensely on her face, jawline, and neck. She is captured in a moment of pause, one hand raised to her face as she delicately holds the frame of her signature round, red-tinted sunglasses. Her skin is rendered with hyper-realistic detail, featuring visible pores and a fine sheen of perspiration; large, glistening beads of sweat trickle down her forehead and the length of her neck. Smudges of dark, gritty mud and dried dirt are artfully smeared across her cheekbones and collarbone.
The lighting is high-contrast and cinematic, with a sharp key light hitting the side of her face to emphasize the moisture on her skin and the sharp contours of her facial structure, while a subtle rim light separates her from the dark, atmospheric background. Her eyes are sharp and focused, looking directly past the lens with a fierce, weathered expression. The textures are visceral: the polished metal and red glass of the spectacles, the damp strands of her dark hair pulled back, and the rugged, ribbed fabric of her teal tank top visible at the bottom of the frame alongside the distressed brown leather of her tactical shoulder harness. Shot with an 85mm macro lens, f/2.8, creating a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus razor-sharp on her facial features and the grit of the dirt while softly blurring the background.

YouTube Thumbnail - Thumbnail Generation Prompt for Sales Content (Brain/Tips/Note)

まみや@AIで1.7億Nano Banana Pro
# Role

You are a professional graphic designer who creates "sellable" eye-catching images for Brain, Tips, and note.

# Task

Use the [Title] and [Sub-Catchphrase] below to create a high-quality thumbnail that is highly visible and conveys authority and expectation.

# Design Style

- Composition: Based on the layout of the attached image.

1. [Top]: Place a black, rounded-corner band (badge) in the upper left and write the [Achievement/Urgency Word] there.

2. [Upper Center]: Place the [Sub-Catchphrase] in bold white text (with orange or yellow borders).

3. [Center]: Place the main [Title] as huge, bold text spanning the screen. The text color should be the most prominent color that contrasts with the background, such as a "yellow-to-white gradient" or "neon glow," with multiple borders and a drop shadow for three-dimensionality.

4. [Bottom]: Place two "Benefit Boxes" (rectangles) on the left and right. Place a ribbon or badge labeled "Benefit 01" and "Benefit 02" above each. Write the [Benefit Content] inside the boxes.

5. [Decoration]: Place a cute or intellectual character (person or animal) related to the theme at either the left or right edge of the screen.

- Color Scheme: High saturation and energetic coloring based on the [Desired Main Color].
- Background: A graphical background with depth, not a solid color, scattered with icons related to the theme (e.g., SNS, money, graphs).

# Input Data

- 【Main Color】: {argument name="main color" default="Blue system"}
- 【Achievement/Urgency Word】: {argument name="achievement/urgency word" default="Achieved 100k in 5 days of entry!"}
- 【Sub-Catchphrase】: {argument name="sub-catchphrase" default="No product creation! OK without achievements! In as little as 1 month"}
- 【Title】: {argument name="title" default="Threads × Affiliate Strategy Course"}
- 【Benefit 01 Content】: {argument name="benefit 01 content" default="10 days of actual selling posts"}
- 【Benefit 02 Content】: {argument name="benefit 02 content" default="Includes AI automatic generation tool"}

# Constraints

- Accurately depict Japanese text.
- Use a thick, powerful Gothic or design font.
- Output in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

YouTube Thumbnail - Pop-Up Book Diorama Generator Prompt

GadgetifyNano Banana Pro
Do it for Terminator: {argument name="title" default="Moby Dick"}

System Instruction:
Act as a Master Prop Maker. Generate a hyper-realistic, macro-photography shot of a "Pop-Up Book Diorama."
1. Forensic Analysis:
Analyze the Input Title to determine the visual components:
The Biome: Identify the primary setting (e.g., Ocean, Jungle, Space, Desert).
The Conflict: Identify the Antagonist or Monster (e.g., The White Whale, T-Rex, Darth Vader).
The Vessel/Hero: Identify the main vehicle or protagonist (e.g., The Pequod, The Jeep, The Millennium Falcon).
The Materiality: Identify the texture of the world (e.g., Wood & Water; Amber & Leaf; Metal & Stars).
2.  Container (The Open Book):
The Object: A massive, vintage, leather-bound hardcover book lying flat on a wooden desk.
The Transformation: The book is open to the middle. The pages do not just lie flat; they physically mutate into the "Biome" identified in Step 1.
Example: If Ocean, the pages turn into turbulent resin waves. If Desert, they turn into dunes.
3. Typography (The Floating Title):
The Text: The [Title of the Input] rises out of the landscape as massive, 3D block letters.
Integration: The letters must interact with the environment.
Texture: The letters are made of materials from the story (e.g., Driftwood, Stone, Bone).
Placement: The waves crash over the letters; vines wrap around the letters.
4. The Action Scene :
CRITICAL: Construct a specific scene using miniature models on top of the book.
The Threat: Place the "Antagonist" looming large in the background (e.g., The Whale breaching behind the text).
The Hero: Place the "Vessel" or "Protagonist" navigating the terrain in the foreground (e.g., A tiny ship rocking on the waves).
Scale: The scene must look like a high-end model kit (1:87 scale).
5. Lighting & Atmosphere:
The Lamp: A vintage brass desk lamp is visible in the corner, casting a warm, directional "reading light" onto the scene.
Atmosphere: Magical realism. The water should glisten; the fog should swirl.
Depth: Shallow depth of field to blur the edge of the desk, keeping focus on the book.
Output: ONE image, 16:9 Aspect Ratio, Cinematic Miniature Photography, 8k Resolution.
