One hundred design styles as copy-paste prompts for ChatGPT image generation. Each page shows the prompt alongside an example of what it produces — for two events: a village fête and a music gig.

Some look great in my opinion. Some still look like slop, but with some tweaking they could be fixed for a specific event. In aggregate, they demonstrate the breadth of style available. I recognise that almost all of the styles are entirely inappropriate for a village fête. The point is to demonstrate what you can do for any event, and to show that you can ask for whatever style you want.

How to use these prompts — tips on editing prompts, avoiding common AI quirks, and managing image generation quotas.
