Compound Grid
Two grids of different column counts overlaid, so layouts vary without breaking alignment.
What it does
Overlaying a three-column and a four-column grid on the same page gives seven possible vertical positions and a far wider set of layouts than either alone, while every element still lands on a shared line. Karl Gerstner formalised the approach in Designing Programmes. The risk is that with enough columns everything aligns to something, so the structure stops constraining anything and the benefit disappears.
The prompt
Replace [Subject] with what you are shooting. Everything else is deliberate: the gear, stock and lighting are what push a generator towards this look.

Midjourney, FLUX, Ideogram
Pairs with
The Prompt Atlas
Every prompt here is a starting point. The Prompt Atlas is the full system: hundreds of production-ready prompts organised by outcome, with the reasoning behind each one so you can adapt rather than copy.
