Best use cases

A vintage hand-drawn scientific illustration of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, detailedly breaking down the botanical structure and TCM applications of Cordyceps sinensis, offering high aesthetic value for educational encyclopedias. It is perfectly suited for scenes requiring fast confirmation like event posters, targeting graphic designers. Its core value is not in stacking style words, but in solving the pain point of 'having a creative theme but not knowing how to generate a complete composition stably': lock in the subject and composition first, then replace variables to serve multiple topics with the same template.

Visual style

The style base of 'Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Botanical Illustration' is vintage and watercolor. When analyzing the image, prioritize the readable text hierarchy, texture and materials, and the product key visual, followed by the relationship between the product subject and the commercial background. Negative space, hierarchy, and color exist to serve this primary relationship. The final output is designed to be a finished product ready for event posters rather than a mere style experiment.

How to generate a new image

1. 1Copy the full prompt of 'Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Botanical Illustration', keeping the style, subject, composition, material, lighting, and aspect ratio descriptions.
2. 2First, modify only the theme or subject, keeping the style, material, and lighting descriptions intact.
3. 3Generate 2-4 images using default parameters in GPT-image-2 or your preferred tool. Choose an aspect ratio like 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, or 9:16 depending on the destination platform.
4. 4Check against the target infographic visual: is the subject clear? Is the info hierarchy readable? Do the colors and style match the reference image?
5. 5If it drifts, reduce background noise first, then reinforce core style words or adjust the ratio, avoiding changing too many variables at once.

Model and parameter tips

• GPT-image-2：Excellent for Chinese language comprehension, typography, and complex visual relationships. It is highly recommended to describe the subject, frame, and purpose explicitly when generating infographic visuals.
• Midjourney：Great for strengthening style, mood, and composition reference. Aspect ratios parameters can be appended, though Chinese character rendering stability may vary.
• FLUX：Excellent for clear subjects, photographic qualities, and graphic structures. Describe using natural language and reduce command parameters that the platform might not recognize.

How to improve weak results

• If the subject of 'Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Botanical Illustration' is not prominent, add phrases like 'centered key visual', 'clear outline', or 'ample negative space', or directly name the core object of the infographic.
• If the style drifts, appending 'core style', 'high-contrast hierarchy', or 'clear material texture' is more effective than adding emotional buzzwords.
• When the visual feels cluttered, trim background elements, margin annotations, decorative icons, and subheadings first, keeping only the most essential layer of information.
• If colors are incorrect, describe the primary color, base color, brightness, and saturation clearly, avoiding vague terms like 'premium look' or 'atmospheric vibe'.
• If the ratio is incorrect, change it to 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, or 9:16, while simultaneously reducing the density of fine print.
