What you will get

A minimal poster of your city’s skyline as flat vector silhouettes in layered shades of one colour, with a soft gradient sky and a small line of text at the bottom.

Why it works

Minimal skyline prints rely on silhouettes, so the prompt asks for flat landmark shapes in layered shades of one colour, with a soft gradient sky. Fewer colours make it look designed rather than busy. The city name and a date or coordinates line at the bottom, as the tip suggests, turn it into a personal keepsake.

Common mistake

Landmarks are wrong.

Fix: Name the landmarks you want, such as a tower, a gate and a bridge, and check against a real photo.

Also watch for

The text is wrong. Leave the text out and add the city name and coordinates yourself.
Layers blend together. Ask for “three clear tonal layers, back lightest, front darkest”.

Try a variation: make a night version

Use a dark navy sky, a pale moon and a few lit windows in the same silhouette style.

Still not right? Add this and run it again
