How to use and evaluate “Cobalt Accordion: Paper-Sculpture Fashion Editorial”
This editorial prompt is designed as an editable starting point, not a guaranteed one-click result. The notes below translate its JSON into a readable visual plan, identify the controls that matter, and show how to diagnose a weak generation without simply adding more text.
Prompt-specific blueprint
Scene and atmosphere
- Location
- A minimalist pale grey-blue studio cyclorama with three oversized cobalt folded-paper sculptures at staggered depths. Each accordion fold has visible paper fibers and a subtle irregular edge; a single low rectangular plinth supports the person.
- Time
- Controlled daylight-balanced studio session.
- Mood

Visual treatment

- Shot Type
- Seated three-quarter fashion portrait from head to lower shins, hands fully visible.
- Wardrobe · Clothing
- Butter-yellow sleeveless long tailored vest over a tonal fine-knit shell, wide tailored trousers and clean dark cobalt flats; sculptural but wearable.
- Wardrobe · Hair
- Preserve reference hair length, color and texture; tuck one side back to show facial structure without changing the haircut.
- Wardrobe · Pose
- Seated sideways, one knee raised with a forearm resting on it, other hand supported on the plinth. Torso faces three-quarters toward camera while head turns about 60 degrees toward camera left, chin level. Eyes gaze sideways across the paper sculpture; lips softly parted and unsmiling. Face remai…

Keep the JSON structure, attach references in the same conversation, and use follow-up edits for one local correction at a time.
A compatibility label means the visual intent can be adapted; it does not promise identical output across providers, versions, or settings.
Prompt-specific quality checklist
- Real folded paper rather than fabric, balanced plinth geometry, crisp garment seams and tiny paper-fiber imperfections.
- No angel wings attached to the body, no floating sculptures, no face shadows from paper folds, no text.
- The scene-specific performance block is mandatory: visibly adapt face angle, gaze and expression to the action while preserving identity from both reference photographs.
Failures to check before publishing
- different person
- identity drift
- face swap seams
- beauty filter
- plastic skin
