How to use this prompt

Flat illustration lives or dies on a limited palette, so the prompt names the colors — red, white and weathered grey — rather than letting the model pick. That restraint is what makes it read as a designed print instead of a muddy painting. The trap's diagnostic features are the wire mesh door and the slatted wooden frame, so name them or you get a generic cage. Keep the background plain and pale so the shapes stay crisp. The negative prompt bars photorealistic texture, which would fight the flat style, and extra traps, which the model adds when the scene feels empty.

Variations to try

  • The buoy alone, centered, as a single icon
  • The trap half-submerged at the waterline
