Hero Taco Upgrade

Objective

Keep the exact taco structure but upgrade to a high-end commercial shot. Improve lighting (cinematic), texture (steam), and background (modern restaurant).

VISUAL PROMPT (IMAGE 1)

A high-end commercial food photograph of the same two tacos from the reference image, preserving their exact structure, fillings, proportions, and arrangement. The camera angle is slightly adjusted to a more flattering three-quarter close-up, enhancing depth and appetite appeal without altering the tacos themselves. Soft cinematic lighting highlights the textures of the tortillas and fillings, with subtle steam and natural sheen to emphasize freshness. The background is replaced with a clean, modern, out-of-focus setting in warm complementary tones that enhance the food without distracting from it. Shallow depth of field, crisp focus on the tacos, rich contrast, natural colors, and premium restaurant advertising quality. No added or removed ingredients, refined composition, lighting, and environment.

Ingredient Exploded View

Objective

Create a clean, premium recipe-style breakdown. Vertical stack, 4 ingredients only, symmetry, and commercial readability.

VISUAL PROMPT (IMAGE 2)

Exploded-view commercial visualization of the taco from the image, presented as premium recipe-style breakdown. The taco is deconstructed into four visible ingredients, matching the original taco precisely in composition, color, and texture. No additional ingredients. The ingredients are separated and arranged in a clean vertical stack, evenly spaced from bottom to top, floating in place with precise alignment and symmetry. Ingredient order (bottom → top): – Soft wheat taco tortilla – Shredded red cabbage – Grilled chicken pieces – Sauce with garnish (topped with a small mixed garnish of diced onion, tomato, and parsley, approximately 5–6 small cubes total, lightly mixed, placed naturally on top) Each ingredient is visually distinct and clearly readable in shape and texture. Annotation design requirements: – Large, bold sans-serif font, high legibility at feed scale – Each annotation placed inside a solid or softly rounded rectangular color block – Background color corresponds subtly to ingredient color – High contrast text – Thick clean connector lines pointing clearly to each ingredient – No transparency that reduces readability – Annotations dominate but don’t cover ingredients Background is soft, neutral, atmospheric with subtle depth and gentle gradients, premium food ad style. No extra elements. No substitutions. No reinterpretation.

Final Promo Poster

Objective

A restaurant-grade promo creative. Needs smoke/heat haze, cinematic lighting, dynamic diagonal framing, and integrated typography.

VISUAL PROMPT (IMAGE 3)

Vivid modern food promo poster built using only the tacos from the provided image as the hero subject. Original background fully replaced. Create a bold restaurant-grade promo scene: warm cinematic lighting with directional highlights on the tortilla edges and fillings, glossy textures, shallow depth of field. Background is a modern restaurant or studio environment with soft gradients, subtle smoke or heat haze, and rich contrast. Mood energetic, premium, crave-focused. Dynamic diagonal composition, high contrast, commercial polish. Typography & Graphic Integration: all text must be fully designed with visual treatment, never plain text. HEADLINE at top, styled as a graphic element integrated into the scene. Bold modern sans-serif/custom display type, color-matched to taco palette, applied with glow/emboss/texture/light interaction so it feels physically present. HEADLINE TEXT: TACO SPECIAL TAGLINE under headline: Fresh Fire Real Flavor CTA organically placed with clear design element: Order Yours Today Overall style: cinematic realism, modern restaurant creative, bold and appetizing. No flat captions. No ribbons. No instructional layout.
