Why it works

UI and screenshot prompts work when they treat platform chrome, text density, camera artifacts, and device framing as first-class prompt ingredients.

Source lineage

Handwritten Notebook Photo by @patrickassale

Generate a realistic notebook photography with handwriting, cross-outs, and daylight texture. The result should look like a captured product or social artifact, not a clean design board.

Platform or device: {{platform_device_and_screen_ratio}}
Primary scene: {{screen_content_or_mockup_goal}}
Capture style: {{camera_angle_reflections_noise_or_compression}}
UI chrome: {{status_bar_buttons_notifications_comments}}
Text behavior: {{what_text_must_be_readable_and_what_can_be_abstracted}}
Visual finish: {{lighting_surface_and_background_context}}

Quality rules:
- match platform conventions before adding decorative detail
- keep text amount realistic for the renderer
- include mild imperfections when the image should feel photographed
- check trademark, likeness, and impersonation boundaries before commercial use

What to change first

  • platform or device frame
  • screen density and text blocks
  • camera angle and artifact level
  • ambient light and reflections
  • notification chrome or status bar
  • brand and likeness boundaries

Common failure modes

  • mockups that look like generic Figma boards instead of captured screens
  • perfectly clean screenshots when a camera-photo look was intended
  • too much text for the renderer to keep stable
  • brand or celebrity references with no boundary note for commercial use

Attribution and reuse boundary

This page is an original derivative pattern built from a public community case collected by EvoLinkAI's awesome-gpt-image-2-prompts repository and the linked creator post. It keeps attribution intact while avoiding verbatim prompt reuse.
