Getting the perfect icon from AI is an art. It requires understanding how the model interprets subject, style, and composition.
The Anatomy of a Prompt
A great prompt usually follows this structure: **Subject + Style + Composition + Modifiers**.
Subject
What is the main object? Be specific (e.g., "robotic arm gripping a gear").
Style
The artistic direction (e.g., "minimalist line art", "flat design", "isometric 3D").
Composition
Viewpoint and framing (e.g., "centered", "close-up", "isometric view").
Modifiers
Adjectives for quality (e.g., "high contrast", "vector style", "simple shapes").
Style Keywords
- **Line Art**: "Continuous line", "monoline", "thin stroke", "minimalist"
- **Flat**: "Flat design", "no gradients", "solid colors", "material design"
- **3D**: "Isometric", "claymorphism", "soft lighting", "3D render"
