The Scenario

You need a custom, high-quality illustration for a presentation or a blog post that exactly matches your brand's aesthetic.

Before & after

The old way

Users often type 'make a picture of a cat' and spend significant time iterating on vague results that don't match their vision. Time cost: 15–20 minutes.

With AI

By following an art prompting guide, you can use descriptive keywords to generate high-quality, professional-grade imagery in one attempt. Time cost: 1–2 minutes.

The Prompt

Create a high-resolution [STYLE, e.g., oil painting] of [SUBJECT] with [SPECIFIC LIGHTING, e.g., golden hour] and [COMPOSITION, e.g., wide-angle lens] in the style of [OPTIONAL ARTIST].

Effective art prompting requires combining subject, medium, and lighting details. Use the 'Designer' tool within Copilot specifically for these visual tasks.
