## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Design square podcast cover art for a show called "[SHOW NAME]" about [SHOW TOPIC, e.g. calm leadership] for [YOUR AUDIENCE, e.g. first-time managers]. The feeling should be [SHOW MOOD, e.g. warm, smart, and encouraging]. Put the show title in huge, heavy sans-serif letters that fill the top half and stay readable at a very small size. Below it, add one simple, bold central image: [CENTRAL IMAGE, e.g. a microphone inside a sunrise]. Use [BRAND COLORS, e.g. navy and gold] with strong contrast between the title and the background. Keep all text and key elements inside the center 75 percent of the square so nothing gets cropped. Add the small line "with [HOST NAME]". No other text, no clutter, and no watermark.
```

## Step by step

1. Fill in your show name, topic, and colors.
2. Generate 3 versions.
3. Shrink each one to thumbnail size and pick the clearest.
