MING IMAGE 0.1 PROMPT WRITER FOR GOOGLE GEMINI
==============================================

A Gem that turns a short idea into Ming Image's own structured JSON prompt:
posters, flyers, ads, social posts, thumbnails, logos, app and website screens,
game screens and icons, infographics, menus, covers and 3D lettering. You paste
that prompt into the Text to Image workflow in this folder. It never makes
pictures itself: the whole reply is the prompt, in a box with a copy button.


THE EASY WAY: USE MY GEM
------------------------

Open this link, it is free and needs only a Google account:

  https://gemini.google.com/gem/1UQMFxbpInLPoz7nhmKzQxifNecffmAXA?usp=sharing

Bookmark it. The "New chat" button in Gemini's sidebar opens plain Gemini, not
the Gem.


MAKE YOUR OWN COPY (OPTIONAL)
-----------------------------

1. Go to Gemini on the web, open Gems, and create a New Gem.
2. Name it, for example "Ming Image 0.1 Prompts".
3. Open "Ming Image 0.1 Text to Image - INSTRUCTIONS (paste) v10.txt", select
   all of it, and paste it into the Gem's Instructions box.
   There is no knowledge file to upload for this one.
4. Leave "Default tool" on "No default tool". Never give it an image tool.
5. Save, then open the Gem's own chat.


USING IT
--------

1. Type your idea and the size you picked in step 1 of the workflow:
     a poster for a summer jazz night, portrait 832 x 1248
     a YouTube thumbnail for my video 10 COMFYUI TRICKS, landscape 1920 x 1080
     a minimal logo for a coffee shop called NORTH BREW, square 1024 x 1024
   Without a size it uses 832 x 1248, or a wide or square size when the idea
   clearly needs one, and writes the size it chose at the top of its answer.
   Set step 1 of the workflow to the same size.

2. Copy the box and paste it into "2. Add a prompt" in the workflow
   "1. Ming Image 0.1 - Text to Image" (in the "1. Text to Image" folder),
   then Run.

3. To change it, say so in the same chat:
     make the background dark navy / add the line "TICKETS 15 EUR" / bigger title
     more 3D, Pixar look / cleaner, fewer details / portrait 1080 x 1920
   A small change (a colour, a word, one part) keeps the rest as it was. A big
   change (a new look, cleaner, a new size) writes the whole design again with
   everything you asked for so far.


TIPS
----

* WORDS IN THE PICTURE: write every word you want in the picture in your idea,
  in capitals or in quotes. Ming spells given words well.
* NUMBERS OF THINGS: say how many ("six icons", "four fighters", "three plans").
* 3D LETTERING: keep 3D words short, one word of up to about six letters per
  line. Longer lines come out right as flat text.
* EXTRA TEXT: the free Gemini models sometimes add small extra words of their
  own (a slogan, door times, a line-up). If you see one, say "remove the extra
  text" in the same chat. Small made-up words come out as scrambled letters.
* 3D LOOK: ask for it in plain words ("3D", "Pixar look", "clay", "toy"). The Gem
  then writes every part as a 3D object, which is what makes Ming render it in 3D.
* THE MODEL: the Gem was tested on Gemini's free 3.5 Flash-Lite, 3.6 Flash and
  3.1 Pro (pick it in the model menu under the chat box). Flash is a good everyday
  choice. For a really clean, minimal design, or when a change you ask for is not
  done properly, switch to 3.1 Pro: it follows the instructions most closely.
* MINIMAL: say it plainly ("clean and minimal, few details"). Theme words like
  "mech" or "steampunk" pull in plates, seams and gadgets, so for a clean look
  describe the theme by its colours and shapes instead.


WHAT IT WAS TESTED ON
---------------------

About 60 ideas, each prompt rendered twice in Ming Image 0.1: game menus, item
icons, a character select screen, a fitness app, a landing page, a dashboard, a
pricing page, Swiss and techno posters, infographics, logos, chrome and glossy
3D text, Instagram and YouTube designs, a can, a book cover, a sushi menu, an
isometric room, a sticker, a music player, a brand board, a podcast cover and a
concert ticket. Most came out right on both renders.


IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
-----------------------

* "Sorry, something went wrong": that is Gemini, not the Gem. Send the idea
  again or word it a little differently.
* After many requests in an hour Gemini can refuse everything for a while,
  even in a normal chat. Wait and try later.
