Prompt to copy
GPT image 2 on CHATGPT A minimalist food advertisement poster in a modern Italian style with Japanese-inspired layout aesthetics, maintaining a precise compositional structure: two large rounded vertical geometric color blocks arranged diagonally across the composition, with top-down food photography. The upper-left block features the main dish: fresh tagliatelle pasta with truffle cream and Parmesan cheese served on a light ceramic plate, garnished with thin slices of black truffle, olive oil, and microgreens, presented with premium restaurant-quality plating. The lower-right block features the second main dish: slow-braised ossobuco with saffron risotto served on a matte dark plate, finished with a rich sauce, gremolata, and fresh herbs, representing modern Italian signature cuisine. Floating side dishes and tableware are neatly arranged around each dish: vintage cutlery, linen napkins, sprigs of rosemary and thyme, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan slices, a mini pot of olive oil, freshly baked focaccia, olives, and assorted herbs. Large modern Italian-style typography is aligned in the upper-right corner, with all text in English, including the restaurant name, dish names, and prices. Small price labels are placed beside each dish. An airy editorial layout uses a strong negative-space system, featuring a soft commercial pastel color palette with shades of cream, terracotta, olive, sage green, and graphite. The design has a clear asymmetric visual hierarchy, premium restaurant branding aesthetics, soft cinematic shadows, and a contemporary menu presentation in poster format. A subtle signature is naturally integrated at the bottom of the composition. Pure vertical composition, highly detailed, premium branding, realistic food styling, soft cinematic low-green lighting, editorial Italian cuisine poster design, minimalist.

What makes this prompt special
It doesn't just ask for "beautiful Italian food": it establishes a geometric structure (two vertical blocks rounded diagonally), an asymmetrical hierarchy and a system of negative space typical of Japanese editorial design applied to an Italian menu. Each block has a main course with a plating description, while floating props—vintage cutlery, focaccia, oil, herbs—add density without overpowering.
The typography is not accessory: the prompt requires the name of the restaurant, names of dishes and price tags in English, aligned in the upper right corner. The commercial pastel palette (cream, terracotta, olive, sage, graphite) and “soft cinematic low-green” lighting point to premium restaurant branding, not a generic stock photo.
Variations
- Other cuisine: replace tagliatelle/ossobuco with ramen + gyoza, or ceviche + tiradito.
- Single plate: removes the second block and centers a single hero plate.
- Horizontal: change «Pure vertical composition» to «16:9 landscape menu board».
- No prices: remove the price label lines if you are looking for a decorative poster.
