Writing Effective Prompts for AI Image Generation
A good prompt clearly describes what you want to see. Include the subject, action, setting, and key details to get usable results on the first try. Use specific details about your team, workspace, or uniforms to make training materials relevant to your environment.
✅ Good prompt: "A group of servers in red t-shirts preparing for lunch service in a modern restaurant dining room. The servers are smiling at the camera."
❌ Too vague: "A server with plates."
AI can interpret prompts literally. Use clear, everyday language and avoid niche terminology. For example, "a server approaching a table" works better than "a server doing a table touch."
💡 Save effective prompts to reuse across similar content.
Editing Existing Images
Update visuals when processes, equipment, or products change—no reshooting needed. Use the image generator to replace generic or unclear images with visuals that clearly explain your training concepts.
Be specific about what to change or add, and focus on one change at a time to get better results faster.
✅ Good edit prompt: "Replace the pesto sauce in this photo with a marinara sauce.”
❌ Too vague: "Make it look better.”
💡 Try multiple variations using the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Z (Mac)/ Ctrl+Z (Windows) to compare different results. Continue using other image editing tools to crop, resize, and add the final polish to your visuals.
Adding Text and Branding Elements
Add instructional text, brand colors, or your company logo to make images more informative and on-brand.
✅ Good prompt: "Create a minimalist fall-themed poster featuring this cold brew. Include the text ‘Pumpkin Spice Special Edition’. Use autumn colors and place pumpkins and cinnamon sticks around the cup.”
❌ Too vague: “Change this to our special edition.”
Ensuring Clarity and Accuracy
Always preview images before publishing, especially for safety procedures, food handling, or critical training visuals. Accurate visuals prevent confusion and support proper learning outcomes.
✅ Good prompt: "A female restaurant cook wearing proper uniform, including gloves, apron, and hairnet, while handling food on a sanitized prep table.”
❌ Too vague: “A cook working in a kitchen.”
Maintaining Consistency
Consistent visuals help learners recognize key figures, roles, and environments across training materials. Uploading and editing existing photos ensures that appearances and settings align with training goals while keeping visual style consistent.
✅ Good prompt: "Change the setting of this photo of our CEO so she is smiling at the camera in the kitchen of a modern restaurant. Surround her with chefs in crisp uniforms preparing dinner service.”
❌ Too vague: "Use an image of our founder and make her stand in the kitchen."
