On June 19, Anissa (@SimplyAnnisa) posted to X a long prompt for GPT Image 2 on ChatGPT oriented towards editorial travel art. The idea: a hand holds a white Transit Pass from [CITY_NAME] that functions as a portal — from there emerges a realistic miniature of the city, a local transport vehicle in 3D perspective and the iconic monument in the background, mixed with black ink doodles.

Another result from the same prompt with a different city. @SimplyAnnisa

Steps

  1. Open chatgpt.com with GPT Image 2.
  2. Replace [CITY_NAME] with the city (Tokyo, Paris, Barcelona...).
  3. Paste the entire prompt; ask for 9:16 format if it does not respect it.
  4. The thread includes four examples from different cities.

Prompt to copy

Create a highly detailed, premium travel-art illustration featuring a hand holding a white [CITY_NAME] Transit Pass in the foreground. The ticket must look like a real transit ticket with visible text elements including: city name "[CITY_NAME]", ticket type "[CITY_NAME] Transit Pass", fare amount, validity date, and a realistic black QR code on the right side. The realistic ticket acts as a portal to [CITY_NAME], with a miniature city scene emerging from the ticket cutout. A signature transportation element — the city's most recognizable local vehicle, train, tram, bus, or monorail — breaks out of the ticket frame in 3D perspective, extending toward the viewer. Behind the ticket, the city's iconic hero landmark rises prominently and prominently, becoming the main architectural focal point. Surrounding the scene are exactly 3–4 clean hand-drawn doodle elements representing the city's identity: local district names, famous neighborhoods, cultural symbols, or well-known places. Use minimal doodles, lots of negative space, and avoid clutter. Include tiny realistic people interacting with the scene — commuters, tourists, street vendors, cyclists, or photographers — scaled appropriately to create a miniature-world effect. STYLE: Photorealistic travel photography combined with elegant black-ink sketchbook doodles. Clean composition, premium editorial design, soft warm lighting, shallow depth of field, realistic textures, subtle shadows, Instagram-worthy travel artwork. COMPOSITION HIERARCHY (in order): Emerging signature vehicle. Hero landmark. White transit ticket/pass with visible TEXT and QR CODE. Minimal doodle elements. TICKET & BACKGROUND: Pure white (both ticket/pass and background color). The ticket must have realistic TEXT elements and a QR code printed on it. AVOID: crowded layouts, excessive text, too many landmarks, busy backgrounds, duplicated symbols, excessive arrows, stickers, or decorative icons. ASPECT RATIO: 9:16 (vertical/portrait) QUALITY: ultra-detailed, cinematic, sharp focus, professional travel poster aesthetic Realistic CUTOUT STYLE: Exactly as per original prompt — miniature city scene emerging from the ticket frame with the signature vehicle breaking out in 3D perspective. The ticket must show real text and a QR code.

Text in English according to the original publication. The ticket must display legible text and a decorative QR; do not use real QR codes with unknown destinations on printed materials.

What makes this prompt special

It combines photorealistic travel photography with notebook doodles—a very popular hybrid on Instagram—but with a clear hierarchy: first the vehicle that “breaks” the ticket frame, then the landmark, then the pass with text and QR, and only 3–4 doodles of neighborhoods or symbols. The AVOID block penalizes saturation, too many monuments and decorative elements, something that models usually add if they are not stopped.

Anissa had already made another sports prompt go viral on ImagineArt in June; This piece aims at the vertical travel poster niche. The thread exceeded 2,900 views and accumulated dozens of likes and saves in just a few hours.

Examples of cities

Try Tokyo (subway or Shinkansen + Torii or Skytree), London (red double-decker bus + Big Ben), Istanbul (tram + Hagia Sophia) or New York (yellow cab aesthetic metro + Empire State). The model infers vehicle and landmark if the city name is recognizable.
