Swipe of the Day
🌍 Step 1: The Concept
What if iconic destinations weren’t just beautiful…
…but told a story?
I imagined reimagining Earth’s landmarks as living metaphors —
Kyoto shaped by cherry blossoms into a bird,
Kilimanjaro wrapped in cloud-elephants,
Santorini carved into a sleeping face.
Each location remains recognizable —
but now it means something deeper.
A place becomes a feeling.
🧠Step 2: The Prompt (ChatGPT)
I asked ChatGPT to turn that idea into image prompts that blend real-world geography with surreal storytelling.
Here’s one example:
“Create an aerial photo of Kyoto, Japan, during cherry blossom season. The pink trees are arranged in the shape of a flying bird, seamlessly integrated into the layout of temples, rooftops, and canals. Warm golden hour light. Dreamlike but believable.”
Every frame in the series plays with the same formula:
Start with a real place. Add just one surreal twist.
Micro-Lesson
Narrative & Storytelling Frames
Lesson 2: Diptychs & Triptychs 🖼️🖼️🖼️
Goal: Tell a concise begin‑middle‑end tale across 2 or 3 linked panels, ensuring consistency while amplifying contrast between beats.
Panel Basics
Diptych (2 panels) – compare/contrast, before‑after.
Triptych (3 panels) – classic story arc: setup, climax, resolution.
Layout keywords: “side‑by‑side panels,” “vertical triptych,” “seamless border.”
4‑Step Prompt Recipe
State Panel Count & Layout
“vertical triptych, equal panels”Define Beat for Each Panel
“Panel 1: sapling sprout,” “Panel 2: flourishing tree,” “Panel 3: fallen log”Lock Shared Style
“watercolor wash, muted earthy palette”Specify Panel Delimiters (optional)
“thin white gutters between panels”
“Vertical triptych watercolor: (1) tiny sapling sprouting; (2) full‑grown oak in summer glory; (3) fallen oak trunk with new shoots, muted earthy palette, thin white gutters between panels, consistent loose brushwork”
Consistency Tips
Reuse colour adjectives: “same teal sky.”
Mention “identical camera angle” across panels.
If using characters, add “same outfit/hairstyle.”
Debugging
Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
Panels differ in style | Reiterate: “consistent art style across all panels.” |
Layout merges into one frame | Explicit layout: “side‑by‑side panels separated by white borders.” |
Beats unclear | Prefix each beat with “Panel 1: … Panel 2: …” in prompt. |
Next lesson: Scale up to Storyboard‑Style Series for richer narratives.
Trend to Watch
Don’t Prompt It. Just Draw It.
Flow just unlocked a powerful new trick:
Sketch your idea directly onto a frame, add a short note like “make this a wave” — and Flow brings it to life as a video.
Perfect for:
Ad storyboards
Visual brainstorms
“I can see it in my head” moments
🧠No need to wordsmith. Just scribble + describe.
We just discovered the 🔥 COOLEST 🔥 trick in Flow that we have to share:
Instead of wordsmithing the perfect prompt, you can just... draw it. Take the image of your scene, doodle what you'd like on it (through any editing app), and then briefly describe what needs to happen
