Mastering Prompts for Imagine: Tips for Better AI Images

Generating the perfect image with AI tools like Imagine (powered by Aurora) can take a few tries — and that’s completely normal! The model isn’t getting frustrated or grumpy; it’s simply doing its best with the instructions you provide.

Here are some straightforward tricks to help you “communicate” more effectively with Imagine and get sharper, more on-brand results faster. Perfect for beginners and anyone creating health promotion visuals, advocacy graphics, or creative content.

The Trick to Better Prompts

Treat prompting like a conversation with a highly talented but very literal artist:

• Be super specific about what you want — and explicitly mention what you don’t want.
• Reference styles, moods, colour palettes, and composition (e.g., “rule of thirds,” “symmetrical,” “dramatic lighting,” “vibrant colours”).
• Use weights like (red ribbon:1.3) or negative prompts to push or pull specific details.
• Iterate in small steps rather than making huge changes all at once.
• Save your favourite generations and build on them (“like the previous image but with brighter colours and…”).

The reason it sometimes takes multiple attempts isn’t annoyance — it’s just how AI interprets language. Tiny wording changes can create massive differences in output. Keep experimenting and refining; the more you practise, the faster you’ll land that perfect image.
