The prompt

78 words · 515 characters

Dramatic film noir movie poster, a lone detective silhouette in a fedora and trench coat standing under a single streetlamp on a rain-soaked street, long shadow stretching toward the viewer, venetian-blind light stripes across a woman's face looming large in the sky above, bold condensed title 'THE LAST ALIBI' at the bottom, minimal credit block lines, high-contrast black and white with a single red accent, grainy texture, suspenseful mood. Avoid misspelled title, extra text, color overload, blurry, watermark.

Ideogram handles in-image text well: put any words you want rendered in quotes. Pick the aspect ratio in the app.

Questions about this prompt

Which AI model is this poster prompt written for?

It was written and tested for Ideogram, but the format buttons above rewrite it for Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Flux, Ideogram and Leonardo, so you can paste it into the tool you already use.

Can I change the aspect ratio or style?

Yes. The prompt is set for 2:3, which suits this composition. In Midjourney change the --ar value; in other apps pick the size in settings. Use the remix panel to swap the style, lighting, camera or mood without rewriting the whole prompt.

Is this prompt free to use for commercial work?

The prompt text is free to copy, edit and use. Whether you can sell the image depends on the terms of the AI model that generates it, so check your plan on that platform before using results commercially.
