How to adapt the prompt

Keep the core idea of Viral quote post, then change the details that control identity, style, color, background, and framing.

Subject and likeness

Use 1 image and keep the defining subject details intact. Focus on this subject requirement: preserve the person, object, or message that needs to read first in the feed.

Style intensity

Dial the style up or down while preserving this intent: a social-first composition built for fast scanning and strong visual identity.

Color palette

Keep, limit, or replace the color direction while respecting this goal: memorable color that reads quickly in a feed and supports the main subject.

Background simplicity

Use the background as a control surface: a feed-friendly background that supports the message without burying the subject.

Composition and crop

Start with 9:16. Then adjust the framing around this composition goal: compose for 9:16, with a strong focal point that reads quickly in a feed.

Common fixes

If Viral quote post is close but not usable yet, make one of these targeted prompt edits before changing everything.

Subject drift

If the subject drifts, add a direct instruction to preserve the person, object, or message that needs to read first in the feed.

Too busy or chaotic

Ask for fewer competing elements while preserving the intended style: a social-first composition built for fast scanning and strong visual identity.

Colors overpower the subject

Limit saturation, reduce competing colors, and keep the palette aligned with this goal: memorable color that reads quickly in a feed and supports the main subject.

Image feels flat

Strengthen light direction, depth, and separation using this lighting goal: clean lighting that makes the subject recognizable in a fast-moving feed.
