Write image prompts that produce what you pictured

Image models respond to concrete visual language. You will describe subject, setting, composition, style, lighting and colour, plus what to exclude, and check that your prompt names each part — then write two variations to compare.

You will practise

  • Describing images in concrete visual terms
  • Controlling composition and lighting
  • Writing variations to compare fairly

No AI key needed. The guided template works for everyone.

  1. 1Brief

    Specific answers make better results — with or without AI.

  2. 2Make

    Pick a route. The template gives you a structure with [[blanks]] to fill in yourself. Your own key drafts it for you — then you still check it.

    See the exact prompt — copy it into any AI chat you already use
  3. 3Check
    The same rules run on every draft, human or AI. Most first drafts fail something — that is the point.
      Self-check — judgement no checker can make
    • 4Improve
      Fix one item at a time, then check again. Notice which fixes made it better — that is the skill.
      1. Run the check first.

    Questions people ask
    Which free AI image tools can I use?
    Options change often; see the AI Tools directory for current free image generators and check each tool’s licence before commercial use.
    Why do AI images get hands or text wrong?
    Image models often struggle with fine structure and lettering. Avoid text in the image and add it later in a design tool.
    Do I need an AI key to use this?
    No. The guided template teaches the same skill with no AI at all. If you add your own free key (Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras), the tool can also draft and revise. The key stays in your browser and requests go straight to that provider.
    Where is my work saved?
    In this browser only (local storage), until you copy or download it. Nothing you type is sent to Open Practice.
