Prompt
A minimalist travel poster of a half sun sitting on a horizon line with three layered wave curves below it, the sun rendered as a solid semicircle in warm terracotta, the three waves as thin horizontal curved lines in graduated blues from dark navy at the bottom to pale cerulean at the top, a single thin baseline in dark charcoal, flat solid colour fills with no gradients or texture, vast empty off-white paper above the sun, hard clean vector edges, no text, no letters, no numbers, no signature

How to use this prompt
"A half sun sitting on a horizon line" is the composition that creates the travel-poster read — a full sun floats ambiguously, and a sun with no horizon reads as a logo. "Three layered wave curves in graduated blues from dark navy at the bottom to pale cerulean at the top" is the depth instruction; without the graduation direction the waves read as flat stripes. "Flat solid colour fills with no gradients or texture" is the restraint switch — leave it out and DALL·E adds atmospheric haze that kills the poster aesthetic. "Vast empty off-white paper above the sun" is the negative space that makes the poster feel designed rather than illustrated; pure white reads as digital.
Variations to try
- Swap the sun for a full moon and the waves for three mountain layers for a night-travel poster
- Change the palette to mustard and teal for a Scandinavian coastal poster variant
