Writing Prompts
Prompts are the main way you interact with AI tooling in FrameKit.
Prompt structure
There’s no fixed format for prompts, but covering these four areas consistently leads to better results:
- Surface — What the product is resting on (white marble, dark wood, concrete, fabric)
- Background — What’s behind the product (plain colour, gradient, lifestyle environment)
- Lighting — Direction, quality, and colour temperature (soft studio light, natural daylight from the left, warm backlight)
- Mood or style — The overall aesthetic (minimal, editorial, warm and inviting, high-contrast)
Example prompts
Minimal studio:
A white marble surface with a seamless off-white background. Soft, even studio lighting from above with subtle shadows. Clean and minimal.
Warm lifestyle:
A light oak wooden table next to a window. Natural morning light coming in from the right, creating warm highlights. Blurred plant in the background.
Bold and graphic:
A matte black surface with a deep navy gradient background. A single dramatic spotlight from above-left. High contrast and editorial.
Tips for better results
- Be specific about lighting direction — “soft light from the upper left” is more useful than “nice lighting”.
- Describe the background in terms of colour and texture, not named locations (e.g. “light grey seamless” rather than “a studio”).
- Avoid contradictions — prompts like “dark background with bright ambient light” may produce unexpected results.
- Keep it focused — A prompt covering one coherent aesthetic tends to work better than a long list of unrelated details.
What prompts don’t control
Prompts do not control the product itself — only the environment around it. Camera framing (zoom, angle) can be influenced by the prompt to some extent, but for precise control see Scene Templates.
