Posters & Promotional Prompts: Nano Banana Guide
Create professional posters, ads, and promotional graphics with perfect text using Nano Banana. Master layout and typography.
The ability to render accurate, legible text within an image is Nano Banana's superpower. This allows you to generate complete marketing assets—posters, flyers, and ads—in a single prompt, without needing to open Photoshop to add text later.
Understanding Text & Layout
To get great results, you need to think like a graphic designer. You aren't just describing a picture; you are describing a layout. You need to specify where the text goes, what font style to use, and how it interacts with the image.
COFFEE SHOP AD
Here is the complete, fully detailed prompt to generate the "COFFEE SHOP AD".
[Optional Base Image] Create a promotional poster for a coffee shop.
Layout & Composition:
- **Format**: Vertical poster (2:3 aspect ratio)
- **Visual**: Close-up of a steaming cup of latte art on a rustic wooden table
- **Lighting**: Warm morning sunlight streaming from the side (golden hour)
- **Negative Space**: Clear area at the top for text
Typography:
- **Headline**: "Wake Up & Smell the Coffee"
- **Font Style**: Bold, rustic serif font (hand-painted sign style)
- **Color**: Chalk white or dark roasted bean brown
- **Position**: Centered at the top third of the image
Branding Details:
- **Logo**: Small circular logo at the bottom center
- **Vibe**: Cozy, inviting, artisanal, premium
Why This Works
The "Negative Space" Instruction: AI tends to fill every inch of an image with detail. Explicitly asking for "negative space at the top" ensures the text has a clean background to sit on, improving readability.
The Font Specificity: "Rustic serif font" is much better than just "text." It tells the AI to match the font personality to the image vibe (cozy coffee shop).
The Hierarchy: Defining a "Headline" (large) and a "Logo" (small) establishes a visual hierarchy, guiding the viewer's eye through the design.
Common Mistakes
Note:
Too Much Text: Nano Banana is great, but it's not a typesetter. If you ask for a paragraph of body copy, it will likely make mistakes. Stick to headlines, subheads, and short slogans (3-7 words).
