Photo Knockout Words
Three stacked words knocked out of a photograph, filled with the picture's own colour, above the strip of image they were cut from. Three fields.
We made two examples: a photo of light trails with words cut out of it, and a dawn bridge packed with runners, with RUN / THE / BRIDGE knocked out where the sun comes up. The cut stays the same; the picture underneath changes.
Every letter is filled with the photo's own light, with sharp edges and no stroke or glow, and the picture continues in the strip below. The words-above, picture-below structure holds every time. The split tends to land nearer sixty-forty than seventy-thirty, and the fill sometimes repeats the image instead of continuing it exactly.

Photo Knockout Words
What this makes
Three stacked words knocked out of a photograph, filled with the picture's own colour, above the strip of image they were cut from. Three fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the three FIELDS lines. Say where the picture's most colourful region sits; that is what the letters will be cut from.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the poster.
- Swap only the picture to reskin the whole thing — the same three words look completely different cut from a different photograph.
What you swap
- The subject
- Vibary's launch poster
- The picture
- a long-exposure night shot of a screen mid-render, indigo and coral light trails smearing across dark glass, the sharpest streaks gathered just below centre
- The three words
- MAKE / IT / MOVE
Before it runs
- A picture with real colour variation. Filling letters from a flat or dark image gives you three grey blocks.
- Three short words. They stack tight and set enormous, so anything long breaks the block.
- A described focal area low in the frame — the letters need the busiest part of the picture sitting underneath them.
When to reach for it
Gig posters, exhibition announcements, anything where a strong image and a short title need to become one object instead of a picture with a caption on it.
What changes
- A finished 2:3 poster split seventy-thirty: type above, the photograph itself below.
- The three words are filled with the picture's own colours and textures, as though sliced straight out of it.
- Letter edges stay razor sharp with no stroke, glow or blur — only the fill tells you where a letter ends.
- The image below is composed so its most colourful area sits directly under the type, giving the letters something worth showing.
- Nothing else appears: no logo, no date, no rule. The image and the word are one thing.
Pairs with
- 8-Bit Sticker Title CoverAn 8-bit title in white on a dark pixel-grid screen, with three neon sticker tags stuck crooked underneath and a hand-drawn face in the corner. Five fields.
- Black Streetwear Title CoverA street-cool cover style — pure black, film grain, a two-voice title in heavy caps over graffiti script, ring text, orbit lines, a signature. Nine fields; all white, all loud.
- Bold Word & Tag PillsA very heavy word dead centre, a name and a year balanced beneath it, and a row of filled tag pills locked to the title's exact width. Five fields.
