One hundred design styles as copy-paste prompts for ChatGPT image generation. Each page shows the prompt alongside an example of what it produces — for two events: a village fête and a music gig.

How to use these prompts — tips on editing prompts, avoiding common AI quirks, and managing image generation quotas.
