⚠️ ALL text within AI-generated visualizations MUST be poster-readable.
When generating graphics for posters, you MUST include font size specifications in EVERY prompt. Poster graphics are viewed from 4-6 feet away, so text must be LARGE.
⚠️ COMMON PROBLEM: Content Overflow and Density
The #1 issue with AI-generated poster graphics is TOO MUCH CONTENT. This causes:
SOLUTION: Generate SIMPLE graphics with MINIMAL content.
MANDATORY prompt requirements for EVERY poster graphic:
POSTER FORMAT REQUIREMENTS (STRICTLY ENFORCE):
- ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM 3-4 elements per graphic (3 is ideal)
- ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM 10 words total in the entire graphic
- NO complex workflows with 5+ steps (split into 2-3 simple graphics instead)
- NO multi-level nested diagrams (flatten to single level)
- NO case studies with multiple sub-sections (one key point per case)
- ALL text GIANT BOLD (80pt+ for labels, 120pt+ for key numbers)
- High contrast ONLY (dark on white OR white on dark, NO gradients with text)
- MANDATORY 50% white space minimum (half the graphic should be empty)
- Thick lines only (5px+ minimum), large icons (200px+ minimum)
- ONE SINGLE MESSAGE per graphic (not 3 related messages)
⚠️ BEFORE GENERATING: Review your prompt and count elements
Content limits per graphic type (STRICT):
| Graphic Type | Max Elements | Max Words | Reject If | Good Example |
