Your prompt

Create a 16:9 editorial header image for an article titled "Why Your Attribution Reports Disagree" about marketing attribution differences between platforms. Concept: a single, memorable visual metaphor: three differently coloured compasses on one table, each pointing in a different direction. It must be understood at a glance and avoid clichés such as handshakes, lightbulbs, rocket ships and generic stock office scenes. Composition: bold, uncluttered; main subject slightly off-centre; the central 60% must still work if cropped to 1.91:1 for a social preview. Style: modern editorial illustration with photographic lighting; palette deep teal, warm sand and one coral accent; a subtle grain for an editorial feel. Constraints: no text, no logos, no real people, no literal screenshots.

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

A wide header showing three compasses of different colours on a table pointing in different directions, grainy editorial look.

Expected format: One header image; test the 1.91:1 crop.

How to use it

  1. Write the metaphor first, then generate; it makes the image meaningful.
  2. Check the social crop.
  3. Add descriptive alt text on the page.

Limitations

  • Metaphors can be cryptic; test whether colleagues understand the image at a glance.
  • Add real alt text; the image should not carry information that the text lacks.

FLUX.2 does not use negative prompts, so constraints are phrased as things to do.

General notes on FLUX (Black Forest Labs)
  • BFL's official guidance for FLUX.2: no negative prompts (describe what you want), write sentences rather than keyword lists, specify lighting, quote text to render, and pair colour names with hex codes.

Append parameters after the prompt (e.g. --ar 16:9); verify parameters for your model version.

General notes on Midjourney
  • Parameters go at the end of the prompt (for example --ar for aspect ratio). Parameter names and ranges vary by model version.
  • We could not read Midjourney's official parameter list on the verification date, so check the live docs for your model version before relying on any parameter shown here.
