- Include style - "in the style of pixel art" or "photorealistic"
- Mention purpose - "for a children's book" affects the output style
- Describe composition - "centered", "rule of thirds", "close-up"
- Specify colors - Explicit color palettes yield better results
- Avoid - Don't ask for text in images (use overlays instead)
