A highly constrained prompt for generating a professional overhead flat-lay photograph that mimics pixel art. The image uses two types of fruit (e.g., yellow lemons and green limes) arranged in a tight, seamless grid to form text and a graphic silhouette (e.g., '2026' and a running horse). The prompt enforces strict rules on object size, orientation, and grid alignment to ensure perfect pixelation and commercial quality.
Prompt
# Scene and World
Professional top-down flat-lay photography, strictly 90-degree vertical overhead God's perspective;
Pure white background;
Studio soft lighting, uniform and clear light, no shadows, no vignetting
# Focus and Order
Absolute Subject: A grid matrix formed by tightly and neatly arranged [{argument name="background item" default="fresh yellow lemons"}] (the background item), filling the entire frame;
Grid Specification: {argument name="grid columns" default="27"} columns horizontally, and several rows vertically, forming a complete matrix;
Form of Expression: Using [{argument name="contrast item" default="green limes"}] (the contrast item) with stark color contrast embedded to form a clear pixel art pattern;
Visual Logic: The upper half of the frame is the pixelated "{argument name="text content" default="2026"}" formed by the contrast item, and the lower half is the pixelated silhouette of the {argument name="graphic content" default="running horse"} formed by the contrast item;
Arrangement Constraint: All objects are exactly the same size, uniformly oriented (stems pointing the same way), tightly and seamlessly fitted together, absolutely no blank areas allowed
# Form and Structure
Upper composition: Pixelated "{text content}" using the contrast item, employing a monospace font where each character occupies the same number of columns;
Lower composition: Pixelated silhouette of the {graphic content} using the contrast item;
Perfect overhead 90-degree flat-lay perspective, camera lens axis strictly perpendicular to the ground;
Every object is whole, objects at the edge of the frame are not cropped, presenting a neat grid array;
Pixel art pattern is clearly discernible, edges are sharp;
Dense grid layout of {grid columns} columns × multiple rows, objects tightly filled, no gaps whatsoever
# Material and Language
Main Material: Real [{background item}] (smooth surface, natural reflection, fine texture, all objects uniformly oriented);
Contrast Material: Real [{contrast item}] (full color, fine surface texture, real details, all objects uniformly oriented);
Background: Pure white plane;
All objects are uniform in size, shape, and orientation, with no size differences or deformation
# Source of Tension
Natural objects transformed into digital pixel art;
Combination of traditional still life photography and modern pixel patterns;
Strong color contrast between [{background item}] and [{contrast item}] creates clear pattern recognition;
8K quality, high resolution, commercial advertising photography style;
Objects are absolutely regular in arrangement, pixel pattern is highly readable
# Technical Constraints (Ensuring Stability)
- Strictly 90-degree overhead angle, no perspective distortion
- Objects at the edge of the frame must be complete, not cropped
- The diameter of every object must be exactly the same, as if made from the same mold
- All objects must be uniformly oriented, stems or tops pointing consistently
- Clear grid structure: {grid columns} columns horizontally, and corresponding rows vertically, forming a strict rectangular grid
- Grid arrangement must be neat, aligned horizontally and vertically, with each cell the same size
- Objects must be tightly and seamlessly joined, absolutely no blank areas or gaps allowed
- Edges of the pixel pattern must be sharp and crisp
- Light is uniform, no local overexposure or underexposure
- Each character uses a monospace pixel font, all characters occupy the same number of columns
- Each object acts as one pixel unit, must be exactly the same size and uniformly oriented
