Core Principles

核心原则

Album Art is Visual Storytelling

专辑封面是视觉叙事

The cover is the first thing people see. It should:
  • Communicate the album's essence instantly
  • Work at thumbnail size (streaming) and full size
  • Be memorable and distinctive
  • Complement (not compete with) the music
封面是人们最先看到的内容。它需要:
  • 即刻传达专辑的核心精髓
  • 在缩略图尺寸(流媒体平台)和完整尺寸下都能呈现良好效果
  • 令人难忘且独具特色
  • 与音乐相辅相成(而非喧宾夺主)

Less is More

少即是多

Effective album art:
  • Has clear focal point
  • Avoids clutter
  • Uses negative space
  • Reads quickly
优秀的专辑封面:
  • 有清晰的视觉焦点
  • 避免杂乱无章
  • 善用留白
  • 能快速被理解

AI Art Requires Precision

AI艺术创作需要精准性

Good prompts:
  • Are specific but not over-constrained
  • Use visual language, not musical concepts
  • Guide composition and mood
  • Iterate based on results

优质提示词:
  • 具体但不过度约束
  • 使用视觉语言而非音乐概念
  • 引导构图和氛围
  • 根据生成结果迭代优化

How to Use Override

如何使用自定义设置

  1. Load at invocation start
  2. Apply visual preferences when developing concepts
  3. Use preferred color palettes and styles
  4. Avoid specified styles/elements
  5. Override preferences guide but don't restrict creativity
Example:
  • User prefers minimalist geometric art
  • User avoids photorealistic styles
  • Result: Generate prompts for abstract geometric compositions with negative space

  1. 在调用开始时加载
  2. 开发概念时应用视觉偏好
  3. 使用偏好的配色方案和风格
  4. 避开指定的风格/元素
  5. 自定义偏好仅作为指导,不限制创意发挥
示例
  • 用户偏好极简几何艺术
  • 用户避开写实风格
  • 结果:生成带有留白的抽象几何构图提示词

AI Art Generation Workflow

AI艺术生成工作流

Step 1: Concept Development

步骤1:概念开发

Questions to answer:
  1. What's the album about? (theme, story, mood)
  2. Who's the audience? (genre expectations)
  3. What emotion should it evoke? (first impression)
  4. Any specific imagery from lyrics/concept?
  5. Color palette? (warm/cool, saturated/muted)
Output: 2-3 sentence concept description
需要回答的问题
  1. 专辑的主题是什么?(主题、故事、氛围)
  2. 目标受众是谁?(符合流派预期)
  3. 应该唤起怎样的情感?(第一印象)
  4. 歌词/概念中是否有特定意象?
  5. 配色方案?(暖/冷色调、饱和度高低)
输出:2-3句话的概念描述

Step 2: Visual Reference

步骤2:视觉参考

Gather inspiration:
  • Existing album covers in genre
  • Art movements (noir, surrealism, minimalism)
  • Photography styles (documentary, portrait, abstract)
  • Color palettes (Adobe Color, Coolors)
收集灵感
  • 同流派的现有专辑封面
  • 艺术运动(黑色电影风格、超现实主义、极简主义)
  • 摄影风格(纪实、人像、抽象)
  • 配色方案参考(Adobe Color、Coolors)

Step 3: Composition Planning

步骤3:构图规划

Decide on:
Layout: Centered, rule of thirds, symmetrical vs asymmetrical
Focal Point: What draws the eye first?
Depth: Shallow (subject isolated), deep (environmental), flat (graphic)
Aspect Ratio: Always plan for square 1:1 (3000x3000px minimum)
需要确定
布局:居中、三分法、对称vs不对称
视觉焦点:最先吸引眼球的元素是什么?
层次感:浅景深(主体孤立)、深景深(环境融入)、扁平化(图形化)
宽高比:始终按正方形1:1规划(最小3000x3000px)

Step 4: Prompt Construction

步骤4:提示词构建

Anatomy of a good AI art prompt:
  1. Subject (what's in the image)
  2. Style (artistic approach)
  3. Mood/Lighting (atmosphere)
  4. Color Palette (specific colors or tones)
  5. Composition (framing, angle)
  6. Technical Details (quality, resolution)
Template:
[Subject], [style], [mood/lighting], [color palette], [composition],
[technical details], album cover art
See prompt-examples.md for complete examples.
优质AI艺术提示词的结构
  1. 主体(图像中的内容)
  2. 风格(艺术创作手法)
  3. 氛围/光线(整体氛围)
  4. 配色方案(具体颜色或色调)
  5. 构图(取景、角度)
  6. 技术细节(画质、分辨率)
模板
[主体], [风格], [氛围/光线], [配色方案], [构图],
[技术细节], album cover art
完整示例请查看prompt-examples.md

Step 5: Iteration Strategy

步骤5:迭代策略

First generation: Create 4 variations with slightly different prompts
Evaluation:
  • Works at thumbnail size?
  • Immediately communicates concept?
  • Distinctive and memorable?
  • Fits genre without being cliché?
Typical iterations: 3-5 rounds to final

首次生成:创建4个略有差异的提示词变体
评估标准
  • 在缩略图尺寸下是否呈现良好?
  • 是否能即刻传达概念?
  • 是否令人难忘且独具特色?
  • 是否符合流派风格但不落俗套?
典型迭代次数:3-5轮以定稿

Text on Album Covers

专辑封面上的文字

When to Include Text

何时添加文字

Include text if:
  • Album title is essential to concept
  • Typography is the primary visual
  • Genre expects it (punk, metal often text-heavy)
Skip text if:
  • Image speaks for itself
  • Text will be added digitally later
  • Simplicity is stronger
建议添加文字的情况
  • 专辑名称是概念的核心部分
  • 排版是主要视觉元素
  • 流派有此预期(朋克、金属乐通常文字较多)
建议省略文字的情况
  • 图像本身已能完整传达信息
  • 文字将在后续数字处理中添加
  • 简洁风格效果更佳

Text Best Practices

文字使用最佳实践

  • High contrast with background
  • Large enough at thumbnail size
  • Clear, legible fonts
  • Top third or bottom third placement
  • Less is more (album + artist, skip extras)

  • 与背景形成高对比度
  • 在缩略图尺寸下仍足够大
  • 使用清晰、易读的字体
  • 放置在顶部三分之一或底部三分之一区域
  • 少即是多(仅保留专辑名+艺术家名,省略额外信息)

Multi-Album Series Consistency

多专辑系列的一致性

When building series (artist with multiple albums):
Consistent elements:
  • Recurring color palette
  • Similar composition style
  • Recognizable visual motif
  • Typography/font family
Varied elements:
  • Subject matter (changes per album)
  • Specific colors within palette
  • Unique focal point each time

构建系列专辑时(艺术家有多张专辑):
需保持一致的元素
  • 重复使用的配色方案
  • 相似的构图风格
  • 可识别的视觉主题
  • 排版/字体家族
需变化的元素
  • 主题内容(每张专辑不同)
  • 配色方案内的具体颜色
  • 每张专辑独特的视觉焦点

Quality Standards

Remember

注意事项

  1. Load override first - Call
    load_override("album-art-preferences.md")
    at invocation
  2. Apply visual preferences - Use override style/color/composition preferences if available
  3. Album art is first impression - Make it count
  4. Thumbnail test is critical - Must work small
  5. Less is more - Simplicity beats clutter
  6. Iterate, iterate, iterate - First result rarely final
  7. Genre informs but doesn't dictate - Honor or subvert expectations intentionally
  8. Concept drives visual - Art serves the music and theme
  9. Specs matter - 3000x3000px minimum, square, RGB
  1. 优先加载自定义设置 - 调用时首先执行
    load_override("album-art-preferences.md")
  2. 应用视觉偏好 - 若存在自定义设置,需融入其中的风格/配色/构图偏好
  3. 专辑封面是第一印象 - 务必重视
  4. 缩略图测试至关重要 - 必须在小尺寸下呈现良好
  5. 少即是多 - 简洁胜于繁杂
  6. 持续迭代 - 首次生成结果很少是最终版本
  7. 流派仅作参考而非约束 - 可有意遵循或打破预期
  8. 概念主导视觉 - 艺术需服务于音乐和主题
  9. 规格要求很重要 - 最小3000x3000px,正方形,RGB格式
