Examples of an Effective Prompt

• Updated prompt “Create a vibrant and eye-catching advertisement for a new tropical fruit juice.”
• The image should:
  • Feature a tall glass of juice with bright orange and yellow hues, garnished with a slice of pineapple and a mint leaf.
  • Surround the glass with fresh tropical fruits like sliced mangoes, whole pineapples, and halved passion fruits arranged neatly on a wooden tray.
• The background should:
  • Be a sunny beach scene with gentle waves, clear blue skies, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and a few beach umbrellas in the distance.
  • Include a stylish ribbon-like banner at the top with the text 'Refresh Your Day!' in bold, playful font in a cheerful color.
