Posters — a cinematic piece from one sentence

For an event, an opening, a launch — anything that wants a piece people stop and look at.

Open Posters
Step by step
  1. 1
    Say what it is about

    One sentence describing the SCENE you want — “an autumn farmers market at golden hour, crates of produce, a warm crowd”. Describe the picture, not the words on it; the words go in their own boxes further down, and that separation is what keeps them exact.

  2. 2
    Pick a look

    Five to choose from. Cinematic is a film poster — moody and atmospheric. Double exposure fills a silhouette with a second scene. Bold graphic is flat color and big shapes. Vintage print is screen-printed and a little worn. Editorial is clean, premium and calm. Each is a complete art direction, not a filter.

  3. 3
    Pick a shape

    A 2:3 one-sheet is the classic poster. Tall suits a social story or a pull-up banner, square suits a feed, and wide suits a header. The shape changes the composition, not just the crop.

  4. 4
    Add your words

    A title, a line under it, and a strip along the bottom — all optional. These are set by us rather than drawn by the AI, which is the whole point: a phone number, a price or a date comes out exactly as you type it. Image models drop digits from long numbers, so we never let one near them.

  5. 5
    Press the button

    Three posters at once, about fifteen seconds. Three because a poster is a taste decision and one is not a choice — the same subject composed three different ways.

    Download or keep

    Each has its own Download button, and all three save to your Library automatically.

Tips
  • Describe the SCENE, not the message. A busy workshop at dawn gives a better poster than hard work pays off — the words carry the message, the picture carries the feeling.
  • Leave the title box empty if you want a pure image. The look still composes for one, so you can add words later yourself.
  • Put the phone number and the web address in the bottom strip rather than the title. It is where an eye looks for them, and it keeps the title short enough to read from across a room.
  • If none of the three is right, change the sentence rather than the look. The subject does most of the work.
If something goes wrong

The messages the page can show, and what to do.

Why is the writing in a different style from the picture?
Because we set it, not the AI. Image models drop digits from long numbers — a phone number came back missing three of them in our testing — so every word on your poster is typed by us instead. It is the trade for never printing a wrong price.
The title is cut off
A very long title is shrunk to fit, but there is a floor. Under about twenty characters reads best on a poster; anything longer belongs in the line underneath.
All three look too similar
Add more to the sentence — a time of day, a place, a mood. A short subject gives the model little to vary.
