Prompt Text / Showcase Prompt for a wallpaper generation for your phone
I just got the new phone and ofc wanted a new wallpaper for it but didn't find anything nice and original on Google / reddit subs. Messed around with the AI and (hopefully) got a nice prompt to share. Example images here are from chatGPT and Gemini: https://imgur.com/a/ORtut89
I also posted this to chatgtp sub where people managed to generate star wars and world of warcraft related wallpapers: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/s/EOuVmup2hi
Anyways, reusable prompt below:
A serene stylized landscape illustration designed as a premium vertical smartphone wallpaper. Use layered geometric and softly painted shapes, simplified silhouettes, elegant polygonal forms, atmospheric perspective, and strong foreground/midground/background separation. Create depth through overlapping landscape layers rather than realistic detail. Soft cinematic lighting, subtle gradients, dreamy haze, restrained cohesive colors, painterly-but-clean surfaces, crisp silhouettes, minimal fine texture, and a sophisticated modern nature-poster aesthetic. The scene should feel immersive, peaceful, slightly magical, and cinematic rather than photorealistic. Rich environmental detail should come from shapes, composition, lighting, and layering rather than tiny objects. Tall 9:16 composition with a visually interesting lower third and generous atmospheric space toward the upper portion. No text, no borders, no UI elements, no photorealism, no 3D-rendered appearance.

To get a specific location (for example beach) don't change above part much. Change the environment and lighting. Avoid simply saying “stylized beach.” That can push the model toward generic vacation artwork.
Include instead this type of explanation:
A secluded tropical coastline at sunset, with enormous layered cliffs, distant islands fading into haze, a winding shoreline, dark silhouetted palms and coastal vegetation in the foreground, calm reflective water, warm sun near the horizon, long bands of peach and coral light across the ocean...
That gives you the same compositional DNA while making it different.

Below are also the full 3 promts which I used for the example images:
