Introduction

Below are some of the prompts used for generating images in this post:

Illustration Style:

  • 1930s Comicbook Style: This style is characterized by bold lines, simple color palettes, and storytelling that often featured dramatic or humorous situations, reflecting the era’s print technology and cultural narratives.

  • Pop Art: Emerging in the mid-20th century, pop art uses bold colors, commercial art techniques, and often incorporates elements from comic books, advertising, and everyday objects to challenge the traditional boundaries of fine art.

  • Negative Space: This technique uses the space around and between the subject(s) of an image to form an interesting or artistically relevant shape, playing a crucial role in the composition’s balance and focus.
