### 2. Prompt Structures You Can Use
#### **Full Version:**
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```
Create a [SHAPE] label with the text “[TEXT CONTENT]”. Use [COLOR] as the primary colors and apply [TEXT STYLE] typography. Style it as [STYLE], then add [DECORATIVE DETAILS]. The design should be suitable for [CONTEXT].
```
{% endcode %}
**Example:**
Create a round label with the text “Sale 30%”. Use light blue as the primary colors and apply simple typography. Style it in a 3D cartoon style, then add a scalloped edge and oval leaves. The design should be suitable for a minimal, cute store.
👉 **Best for:** precise control and detailed outputs.

#### **Short Version (Recommended):**
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```
A [COLOR] [SHAPE] label with the text “[TEXT CONTENT]”, [STYLE], [DECORATIVE DETAILS].
```
{% endcode %}
**Examples:**
A green scalloped badge with the text "100% Organic", glossy 3D cartoon style, soft shading, oval leaves
A red ribbon label with the text “HOLIDAY SALE”, retro vintage, star icons, shadow effect.

### 3. Key Tips for Writing Prompts
* Be clear and avoid vague descriptions (e.g. “nice label”, "beautiful")
* Don’t mix conflicting styles (e.g., “flat design” + “3D render”).
* Keep it concise and focus on key details.
* Leave room for flexibility—don’t over-specify every element.
* Follow your brand guidelines for consistency (prioritize Style and Color).
* Always state the exact text for accurate display.
* Use shorter prompts when possible; **skipping** elements like **shape** can encourage more creative results.
