Prompt Engineering 101

If you've ever stared at a prompt box wondering why your AI images don't match your vision, you're not alone. Mastering prompt engineering is the difference between mediocre and stunning results.

The Four Pillars of Great Prompts

GLM-Image excels when you provide four core elements: Subject, Text, Style, and Logic.

1. Subject – What to Show

Be specific and descriptive. Instead of "a logo," try "a circular logo featuring a mountain peak silhouette."

2. Text – What to Display

GLM-Image is unique in its ability to accurately render text. Specify exact wording, font style, and placement.

3. Style – How It Looks

Style encompasses art style, color palette, mood, and visual treatment. Be explicit about the aesthetic.

4. Logic – Spatial Relationships

This is where GLM-Image shines. Use logical terms to define spatial relationships and composition rules.

Real-World Examples

Subject: Circular coffee shop logo with steaming mug icon Text: "MORNING BREW" in sans-serif bold font Style: Minimalist, warm brown (#8B4513) and cream (#FFF8DC) Logic: Icon left 40%, text right 60%, vertically centered

Subject: Neon street sign in heavy rain Text: "NO FUTURE" in glowing pink neon Style: Cyberpunk, dark mood, high contrast Logic: Sign at top, reflected in puddle below, rain streaks across frame
