100+ AI Image Prompt Examples

How to use this library

These examples are patterns, not prescriptions. Replace bracketed placeholders and keep one primary style per prompt.

Official Nano Banana / Gemini showcase prompts (verbatim ideas)

Google’s image generation documentation opens with several full prompts used in marketing demos. They are useful as structure references (copy the shape, swap the nouns):

• Magazine cover — glossy cover, bold cover line, portrait subject, corner issue number + date + barcode, set in a designed environment.
• Isometric city — 45° isometric miniature scene, named city landmarks, weather integrated, title + weather icon + date + temperature, centered type hierarchy.
• Search-grounded wallpaper — “use image search” for a specific species, then a clean wallpaper composition with gradient.
• Logo on product — place a supplied logo naturally on a premium product mockup (perfume-style).
• Mixed media café — busy breakfast scene with deliberate style clash (e.g. anime + sketch + clay) called out in text.
• Search-grounded magazine article — research a topic, return a photo of a printed article with readable layout.
• 3D icon — colorful tactile 3D icon, no text, white background.
• True isometric garden — explicitly “not a miniature,” perfect isometric camera, branded pool shape + lettering in scene.

Those examples illustrate multi-skill prompts: layout + typography + grounding + style control—exactly what Gemini 3 image models are tuned for.
