Marketing teams need fast, consistent visuals. These prompt recipes help you get reliable outputs that match brand requirements without spending hours on random variations. Swap the bracketed parts to match your product, style, and placement.
These recipes are designed to work well in nano bannana. nano bannana is an independent interface built on the Nano Banana API, focused on repeatable, marketing ready outputs.
How to use these recipes
Each recipe follows the same structure so you can compare outputs and build a shared prompt library. Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details. Keep the order of the prompt consistent and adjust one variable at a time.
Prompt structure:
[subject], [context], [style], [lighting], [composition], [constraints]If you are new to structured prompting, start simple. Add one or two constraints like aspect ratio and background color, then iterate.
Before you start: write a short brief
A strong prompt starts with a clear brief. Use one sentence:
- Subject: what is the main object or idea?
- Placement: where will the image be used?
- Style: what visual system should it match?
- Constraint: one key limitation (ratio, background, negative space)
Example brief: "Landing page hero for a new analytics tool, clean and modern, 16:9, space for headline."
1. SaaS landing page hero
Use for: homepage banners and paid ads
[product] hero banner, minimalist SaaS style, soft gradient background,
clean typography space, centered composition, 16:9 aspect ratioVariation tips: change only one element at a time, such as background color or lighting mood. Keep the ratio and negative space consistent so the layout stays usable.
2. Product mockup on a pedestal
Use for: product launches and ecommerce hero sections
[product] mockup on stone pedestal, studio lighting, neutral background,
premium photography, high detail, 4:5 aspect ratioVariation tips: switch the pedestal material or light direction, but keep the composition centered for clean cropping.
3. Lifestyle scene with product in context
Use for: social posts and blog headers
[product] used in real life, cozy lifestyle scene, warm light,
shallow depth of field, candid photographyVariation tips: add a location cue to lock the vibe, such as "home office" or "kitchen counter."
4. Feature highlight card
Use for: landing page sections and feature grids
isometric UI illustration, [feature] focus, flat vector style,
brand colors, clean grid layoutVariation tips: keep the brand colors fixed and adjust only the feature label so the card set feels cohesive.
5. Email header image
Use for: newsletters and product announcements
abstract gradient background, soft shapes, brand color palette,
minimal, wide banner layout, 2:1 aspect ratioVariation tips: use a consistent gradient direction so multiple headers look like a series.
6. Event announcement poster
Use for: social campaigns and webinar promos
event poster design, bold title space, [theme] color palette,
high contrast, 4:5 aspect ratioVariation tips: swap the theme palette but keep the same layout to build a campaign set.
7. Testimonial spotlight
Use for: case studies and trust sections
clean portrait style background, subtle texture, centered quote area,
brand colors, simple layoutVariation tips: keep the texture and color palette stable so the testimonials look uniform.
8. App screenshot frame
Use for: product updates and feature announcements
modern device frame mockup, floating UI screen, soft shadow,
minimal background, 16:9 aspect ratioVariation tips: adjust only the device angle or background tone to keep the series consistent.
9. Seasonal campaign visual
Use for: promotions and seasonal drops
seasonal campaign visual, [season] mood, brand colors,
simple composition, space for headlineVariation tips: keep the season cue and brand palette aligned so the set feels cohesive.
10. Comparison graphic backdrop
Use for: feature comparison tables and blog posts
clean geometric background, subtle grid, neutral tones,
space for icons and labelsVariation tips: only adjust the grid density or tone so the background stays subtle.
How to adapt recipes for placement
Placement changes composition. A landing page hero needs negative space. A social post needs a tight focal point. Use placement language directly in the prompt:
- "landing page hero with space for headline"
- "square social post with centered subject"
- "email header banner with wide negative space"
If you use the same subject across placements, keep the style tokens identical and only adjust the layout constraints.
Add brand tokens for consistency
Brand tokens are short phrases that anchor the visual style. Add one or two tokens to each prompt. Examples:
- "warm neutral palette"
- "matte texture"
- "clean studio light"
These tokens make outputs feel like they belong together even when the subject changes.
Use references when consistency matters
If you need a stable look, add a reference image and describe what must remain consistent. This is especially important for product mockups and brand campaigns where color and lighting cannot drift.
Example guidance: "Use this lighting and framing, change the product color to match the brand palette."
Keep a short iteration log
As you iterate, write a short note about what changed. This makes review easier and avoids repeating a change that did not work. A simple log might look like:
- v1: neutral background, soft light
- v2: warm gradient background
- v3: tighter crop, stronger contrast
This is the fastest way to learn what the model responds to in your workflow.
Common prompt mistakes to avoid
- Too many unrelated adjectives in one prompt.
- No placement or aspect ratio guidance.
- Changing multiple variables at once.
- Forgetting to reuse the prompt that already worked.
Consistency is the priority. A smaller set of strong prompts is better than a dozen random experiments.
How nano bannana fits this workflow
nano bannana is designed to support structured prompts, prompt history, and reference guidance. Credit visibility helps teams plan preview rounds and final exports without guessing. If you are working on campaigns, this structure keeps outputs predictable and reduces approval time.
Remember that nano bannana is an independent interface built on the Nano Banana API. The value is in workflow clarity, prompt structure, and consistency, not in claims about upstream model changes.
Quick checklist before you ship
- The subject is clear at small sizes.
- The layout matches the placement.
- The style matches your brand tokens.
- The background leaves room for text or UI.
- The prompt is saved for reuse.
