生成流程

Generation Process

Step 1：收集信息

Step 1: Collect Information

必填：书名、作者名（笔名）、目标平台选填：参考图（路径或 URL）、风格偏好、尺寸（默认竖版 1024x1536）

根据目标平台确定封面风格，加载 references/cover-styles.md 获取详细平台和题材风格。

Required: Book Title, Author's Pen Name, Target Platform Optional: Reference Image (path or URL), Style Preference, Dimensions (default vertical 1024x1536)

Determine cover style based on target platform, load references/cover-styles.md to get detailed platform and genre styles.

Step 2：构建提示词

Step 2: Construct Prompt

提示词 = 文字层 + 风格层 + 画面层，全部用英文编写。

Prompt = Text Layer + Style Layer + Visual Layer, all written in English.

文字层：书名 + 作者名字体设计

Text Layer: Book Title + Author Name Font Design

在提示词中直接包含中文书名和作者名，GPT-Image-2 可直接渲染。重点描述字体风格：

Title text '书名' at top center in [书名字体风格].
Author name '作者名' at bottom center in [作者名字体风格].

Include the Chinese book title and author name directly in the prompt, as GPT-Image-2 can render them. Focus on describing font styles:

Title text '书名' at top center in [book title font style].
Author name '作者名' at bottom center in [author name font style].

作者名字体风格（重点：作者名必须精心设计，不能只是"小字"）

Author Name Font Styles (Key: Author name must be carefully designed, not just "small text")

作者名虽小，但是封面专业感的关键。必须指定：字体 + 颜色 + 装饰元素，让作者名与书名风格呼应但不抢焦点。

题材	作者名风格提示词
玄幻/仙侠	`small refined white serif text with faint golden glow, flanked by delicate cloud-scroll ornaments on both sides, resting on a thin horizontal gold line`
都市	`small clean white modern text with subtle drop shadow, positioned above a thin silver horizontal divider line`
古言/宫斗	`small elegant dark red traditional text inside a thin golden rectangular border frame with corner decorations`
现言/甜宠	`small soft pink-white handwritten text with a tiny heart motif on the left side, light sparkle effect`
悬疑/推理	`small pale grey text with slight blur effect, almost hidden in the shadows, a thin cracked line underneath`
科幻/末世	`small crisp white monospace text with subtle cyan scanline overlay, flanked by small geometric brackets`
西幻	`small bronze medieval script text with aged parchment texture, enclosed in a small decorative shield or banner shape`
历史/军事	`small dignified white Song typeface text above a double horizontal line in dark red`
灵异/恐怖	`small faded grey-green text slightly tilted, with a thin dripping ink line above`
轻小说	`small playful rounded white text with pastel color outline, tiny star decorations on both sides`

作者名通用规则：

大小：
```
small
```
（不能太大抢书名焦点，也不能太小看不清）
位置：
```
at bottom center
```
，与画面底部保持适当间距
必须有装饰元素：线条/边框/小图标/光效中至少一种
颜色与背景形成对比但不刺眼

Although the author name is small, it is the key to the cover's professionalism. Must specify: Font + Color + Decorative Elements, so that the author name echoes the title style but does not steal the focus.

```
at bottom center
```
, keep appropriate spacing from the bottom of the image
Must have decorative elements: at least one of lines/borders/small icons/light effects
Color contrasts with the background but is not harsh

提示词技巧（实测验证）

Prompt Tips (Verified by Practice)

人物描述越具体越好：服饰、姿态、发型、表情、道具每个维度都指定
背景分层：前景（人物）→ 中景（场景）→ 远景（氛围）
光效是指定光源方向 + 颜色（如
```
dramatic golden light from above
```
）
用
```
digital painting style
```
而非
```
photo
```
，避免真人照片感

The more specific the character description, the better: specify every dimension including clothing, posture, hairstyle, expression, props
Background layering: Foreground (characters) → Middle Ground (scenes) → Background (atmosphere)
Light effects specify light source direction + color (e.g.,
```
dramatic golden light from above
```
)
Use
```
digital painting style
```
instead of
```
photo
```
to avoid a real-person photo feel
