We’ve all seen those classic WPA national park posters from the 1930s—bold geometric shapes, flat colors, and sweeping landscapes. They are iconic pieces of design history. But what if we applied that same vintage aesthetic to places that don’t actually exist?
Imagine booking a ticket to The Shire, buying a rail pass for The Polar Express, or planning a weekend getaway to Cloud City. This prompt style blends the nostalgia of the golden age of travel with the limitless creativity of high-fantasy fiction.
The “Flat” Aesthetic
Modern AI loves to add detail. It wants to render every leaf on a tree and every brick in a wall. For this style, we have to fight that instinct. We want “flat graphic shapes” and “limited color palettes.”
By specifying an art style like “WPA” (Works Progress Administration) or “Art Deco,” we force the AI to simplify complex scenes into beautiful, printable poster art.
