We've all seen AI images that get thousands of likes while others get ignored. Why? It's usually not the technical quality. It's the feeling. Here is how to make images that people actually want to look at.
1. Use Emotional Words
A boring prompt gives a boring image. Instead of describing just the objects, describe the vibe. Use words that trigger senses.
- Instead of "a forest," try "a spooky, mist-covered forest."
- Use feelings: "Melancholic," "Joyful," "Lonely."
"The difference between a skip and a like is often just lighting and mood."
2. Pick the Right Tool
Not all models are equal. If you want a photo that looks real, use a model like Imagen4. If you want cool text or a logo, use Ideogram. Trying to force a photorealistic model to handle abstract typography is frustrating.
3. Don't Stop at One
Great images are rarely the first one generated. You have to curate.
- Re-roll: Generate the same prompt a few times.
- Refine: If the hand looks weird, use Magic Edit to fix just that part.
- Negative Prompts: Tell the AI what you don't want (e.g., "blurry," "ugly").
The Bottom Line
The AI is just a tool. Your taste is what matters. Don't just copy what's trending—make something weird or interesting. Start creating now.
