Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

Front panel of a 1987 toy box for a fictional space vehicle. Airbrushed painted background of an alien canyon with laser fire, the physical toy photographed in front of it under hard studio light. Loud starburst badge reading a feature claim, chrome outline logo type, black and magenta grid. Dot screened offset printing with slightly degraded inks. Flat printed panel artwork filling the frame.

Tips

  • 1Ask for the toy to be photographed and the background to be painted. That contrast is the whole look.
  • 2Shelf wear, a price sticker or a scuffed corner sells the age faster than any filter.
  • 3Say "photographed flat" or you get a three quarter product render.
