FAQ
How do I leave space for event details on the poster?
Mention "space for event text" or "bold typography area" in your prompt so the AI keeps a clean section open for your details.
Can I make the poster kid-friendly instead of scary?
Yes, use playful, bright descriptors like "cartoon kids" and "friendly" instead of "eerie" or "creepy" to shift the tone.
What aspect ratio works best for a printed poster?
A portrait aspect ratio generally works best for printed posters, while a square format suits social media event promotion.
