Giant product in the city: a fake out-of-home ad prompt

The prompt, the source photo and the square

Model

GPT Image 2.5 Flare

Aspect ratio

3:4

Use the product from the reference photo exactly as it is: same shape, proportions, colour and material. Do not redesign it and do not print any logo or text on the product itself. Fake out-of-home CGI street advertising, vertical 3:4, photoreal. The running shoe from the reference, giant like a two-storey building, stands in the middle of a European city square; people are tiny around its sole, some looking up and filming it with phones. Overcast soft daylight, realistic contact shadow on the cobblestones, light haze. A bus stop poster in the foreground reads "STEP BIG" with a small brand line "TRACKLINE". Looks like a viral social media street ad, shot from street level, 24mm. All text must be spelled exactly as given, crisp and legible. No other text, no real brand logos.

The prompt is in English, the language models follow best. Swap the product, colors and headlines right in the text.

What to change for your product

• The product: the scene starts with The running shoe from the reference. Put in yours, such as the suitcase, the perfume bottle or the coffee machine. The rest of the line about size works with any object.
• The size: giant like a two-storey building. Scale comes from a comparison viewers know: for a quieter take write as tall as a bus, for a louder one as tall as a five-storey building.
• The place: a European city square can become a seaside promenade, a snowy mountain village or a busy crossing at night. Change the ground with it: cobblestones to wet asphalt, sand or snow.
• The weather: Overcast soft daylight and light haze give soft diffused light without harsh highlights. Sun or night work too, but then check the shadow under the product with extra care.
• The poster: in A bus stop poster in the foreground replace STEP BIG with your slogan and TRACKLINE with your brand name. In the example the poster shows the same sneaker in close-up.

Why the giant looks real

The eye believes scale through small details, and the prompt lists them all. Tiny people at the base give a measure of height, the phones in their hands say it is happening right now, and realistic contact shadow on the cobblestones puts the product on the ground: without the shadow it would hover over the square.

The camera works for scale too. Shot from street level, 24mm means the viewer looks up like a passerby. Light haze separates the planes in depth, and the soft overcast light avoids the highlights that usually give computer graphics away.

How to make your own scene

1. 1

   Shoot the product from the side

   The giant stands on the ground, so the model needs the sole or the base: shoot the whole product from the side or at three quarters, without hands. The sneaker in the example was shot in profile on a desk by a window.

2. 2

   Open Photo with the prompt

   Try it in ClickBait switches on GPT Image 2.5 Flare, 3:4, 2K resolution and medium quality. Add the product photo to the references and adjust the place, the size and the text in the prompt.

3. 3

   Make several variants

   Shadow, scale and crowd land differently from run to run, so take 3-4 variants at once and pick the one with the most convincing shadow. The price is on the button, and a failed generation returns the tokens.
