Same thing with the bathroom.

"Perfect lighting, clean, 4k" → spa render, forest view, everything placed by a designer.

"Single overhead bulb, dim yellow cast, fogged mirror with streaks, grime in corners" → that bathroom exists somewhere right now.

The model knows what real looks like.
The problem is you're telling it to perform perfection. Describe the texture of reality instead — the light sources, the wear, the imperfection — and it delivers.

Stop prompting for stock photos.

Stop using "ultra realistic 4k perfect lighting" in your prompts. Here's what actually works ↓

[Burlap @burlapapp]

Basic prompt: "late night diner interior, cinematic, high detail, sharp focus, perfect lighting, ultra realistic, 4k"

Result: everyone's smiling, the floor is clean, the neon signs are competing for attention. Technically impressive. Looks like a set.

Improved prompt: describe the imperfections. Uneven fluorescent flicker. Booths falling into shadow. Fingerprints on tables. Soft focus falloff. Subtle grain. Imperfect exposure.

Result: looks like you walked in at 2am and took a photo on film.

What are you running for typography-heavy prompts?

Runway Gen-3 Alpha vs. Nano Banana 2: which model handles typography the best? We ran the same two prompts through both. Here's what we found.

[Burlap @burlapapp]

Nano Banana → also got the name right, added "Est. 2012" unprompted, and the window lettering is genuinely stunning. Slight British-ification of the vibe but hard to complain.

Designers - how are you using AI to level up your workflow?

[Burlap @burlapapp]

Most AI “textures” aren’t usable.
They’re lit like photos, composed like scenes, and impossible to tile.
Here’s a quick guide on how to prepare mockup ready textures in seconds.

Which one is your favorite?

[Burlap @burlapapp]

You can quickly design posters using Nano Banana Pro and Runway Gen-3. Each model has their own strengths and weaknesses, but they both respond well to detailed prompting and direction.
