AI Prompt · How to do it

Second variant of the thread with different composition. @Maddox_Digital

Steps

1. Open chatgpt.com with GPT Image 2.
2. Paste the prompt below for Amsterdam or replace city and monuments.
3. Swap the orange accent for another iconic color (London red, Paris blue).
4. The thread includes three examples; ignores --v 6.1 (Midjourney syntax).

Prompt to copy

A minimalist linocut-style illustration in black and white with a single bright orange accent. The composition features a small orange bicycle at the bottom against a white background, with stylized black architectural landmarks of Amsterdam stacked above it. Includes recognizable structures like canal houses with gabled facades, the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, Westerkerk, and windmills drawn in a simplified, hand-carved woodblock print aesthetic. The word "AMSTERDAM" should be vertically integrated into the right side of the composition among the buildings.

English text according to the original publication, without the --v 6.1 suffix (Midjourney parameter). For another city, replace monuments and the bottom vehicle/icon.

Third example of the thread

What makes this prompt special

The single accent color formula on B/W + woodblock aesthetic is very recognizable in tourism posters and Etsy prints. Listing specific monuments (Rijksmuseum, Westerkerk...) anchors the model; The orange bicycle functions as a visual “signature” of Amsterdam.
