EXAMPLE — MADE WITH THIS EXACT PROMPT

Yearbook-Photo Ad example ad

THE PROMPT — COPY, SWAP THE BRACKETS, RUN

Vertical 4:5 ad designed as a scanned 1994 high-school yearbook page. Base: matte yearbook paper, slightly yellowed, faint halftone print texture, thin double-rule page border. Upper two-thirds: a classic studio yearbook portrait of [SUBJECT — e.g. "a beaming teenage boy with braces and a proud mullet, denim jacket"] in front of the iconic blue laser-grid backdrop, dated soft key light, 90s color cast, mild film grain, framed by a thin ornate keyline. Below the portrait, typeset like a genuine yearbook entry: name line in small serif caps "[NAME — e.g. "DANNY KOWALSKI"]", then an italic superlative line: "Voted Most Likely To Never Shut Up About [PRODUCT — e.g. "Balmo, the 3-in-1 skin balm"]". Beneath that, a short serif quote line in quotation marks: "[QUOTE — e.g. "One balm. My whole shelf is gone."]". Bottom edge in letterspaced small caps: "CLASS OF 2026 — [URL — e.g. "BALMO.CO"]". Everything must feel authentically period-printed on paper, ink slightly soft but fully legible; type straight, correctly spelled, unwarped; no modern flat-design elements, no watermark, no logos inside the portrait.

HOW TO RUN IT

  1. Pick one superlative that names your product's core claim and keep the quote deadpan.
  2. Generate several portraits — the more earnestly 1994 the subject, the better it performs.
  3. Run on Meta and TikTok; let the comments do the nostalgia work.
