Illustrate an Article with AI
Three consistent illustrations beat nine random ones. The trick is to define the visual system once — palette, line weight, perspective, background — and then describe only the idea in each prompt.
What a good set looks like
- One image per major section, not per paragraph
- Same palette and line weight across all images
- No text inside the image (it breaks in translation and crops)
- 16:9 or 3:2, with room for a caption
Prompts
System: "Define a visual system for this article: three colours, one line weight, flat perspective, paper texture. Describe it in 40 words I can reuse."
Per image: "Using that system, illustrate the idea 'a funnel where most leads leak before pricing'. No text, no logos, 3:2."
Consistency check: "Compare the three images. List differences in palette, stroke weight and perspective, then regenerate the outliers."

FAQ
How many images per article? Three for a 1,500-word piece, one per section.
Can I mix styles? Not within one article. Across a series, yes.
What about alt text? Describe the idea, not the pixels: "funnel showing lead loss before pricing", not "blue drawing".
