One Word, Five Tags
A 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.
Two runs of the same template. One word with five tags beside Clay. for a pottery open day — the word still stands alone, the five terms still flank it, and the ground has gone from ink to oat.
Generated from this template with the fields shown above — the name sits flush to the word's left edge and the year flush to its right, the five pills run in one even row ending exactly where the word ends, and the full stop matches the letters' size. Run-to-run quirks: the group can sit slightly above true centre, leaving more space below than above. The two-colour limit, the maximum weight and the width-matched tag row hold every time.

One Word, Five Tags
Produce ONE image: a minimal centred cover, one heavy word and a row of tags. Follow every line below. Replace only the FIELDS block; everything after it is fixed.
First — do you have the fields?
If any field below still has braces around it, stop and ask. Put all the questions in one short message, and show the example under each one so they can see the shape of a useful answer. Wait for the replies, then draw. Never fill a brace yourself: a value you invented is a value nobody asked for, and it will look exactly as considered as the ones they did give you.
Ask in whatever language they are writing to you in. Translate the questions and the examples; do not make someone read English to tell you what they want.
The examples are only examples. If someone answers a question, use their answer; never fall back to the example because you prefer it.
If the fields are already filled in, ignore this and carry on.
Fields — replace these five lines only
- The subject: {what this cover is for} e.g. Vibary's brand cover
- The word: {one short word, optionally with a full stop} e.g. MOTION.
- The name and the year: {a left item and a right item} e.g. left: VIBARY — right: 2026
- The tags: {four to six short terms} e.g. interface motion · easing · particles · WebGL · AI prototyping
- The two colours: {a soft ground, and one dark type colour} e.g. warm oat ground, deep charcoal type and pills
The page
- Portrait 4:5.
- A large field of low-saturation matte colour — oat, bone, pale grey — either completely plain or with an extremely fine paper fibre. No gradient, no noise, no vignette, no ornament.
- Everything sits in one centred group in the middle of the page, with generous empty margins on all four sides.
The word
- The largest element by a wide margin.
- Set in a very heavy grotesque — weight 900 or heavier — with full, solid letterforms and tight letterspacing.
- High contrast against the ground.
- If the field includes a full stop, it is set at the same size as the letters.
The name and the year
- One row directly beneath the word, split left and right.
- Both in a small regular-weight sans at roughly one fifth the word's size.
- The left item is flush to the word's left edge; the right item is flush to its right edge. They frame the space beneath the title and must balance in visual weight.
The tags
- A single even row of four to six rounded-rectangle pills beneath the name and year.
- Each pill is a solid fill in the dark colour, with its text reversed out in the ground colour, small sans.
- The gaps between pills are equal.
- The row's total width matches the word's width exactly — it begins where the word begins and ends where the word ends.
- Moderate corner radius. No stroke, no shadow, no gradient.
Colour
- Exactly two: the ground and the dark. Nothing else, anywhere.
- The contrast should be strong but not harsh — charcoal on oat rather than pure black on pure white.
Every part must
- ✓ align to the word's left and right edges
- ✓ keep its size relationship: word enormous, everything else small
- ✓ stay crisp, as if printed well
- ✓ leave wide empty margins around the whole group
- ✓ use only the two colours
Never
- ✕ a third colour, a gradient, a shadow or a border
- ✕ a tag row wider or narrower than the word
- ✕ uneven gaps between pills, or pills on two lines
- ✕ the name and year floating free of the word's edges
- ✕ imagery, icons, logos or ornament
- ✕ text beyond the word, the two flanks and the tags
The result
A cover that states a position and a scope in one glance: one word carrying the tone, five pills carrying the range, and enough empty paper around them that neither has to shout.
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 five FIELDS lines. Consider a full stop after the word — it adds a lot of finality for one character.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the cover.
- Reuse it as a team or series template: same layout, same colours, one word and one tag row each.
What you swap
- The subject
- Vibary's brand cover
- The word
- MOTION.
- The name and the year
- left: VIBARY — right: 2026
- The tags
- interface motion · easing · particles · WebGL · AI prototyping
- The two colours
- warm oat ground, deep charcoal type and pills
Before it runs
- One word, short. It is set at the heaviest weight available and everything else is measured against it.
- Four to six tags of roughly even length. A single long tag breaks the even row the layout depends on.
- A name and a year that balance in visual weight — the two flanking items are load-bearing.
When to reach for it
When a cover has to say what someone does without a sentence. The tag row carries the scope, the word carries the tone, and everything else is empty paper.
What changes
- A finished 4:5 cover on a soft neutral ground, dead centre, with generous margins on every side.
- The title sits in a black at weight 900 or heavier, tight-set, the largest thing by a wide margin.
- A name on the left and a year on the right sit beneath it, flush to the title's two edges and perfectly balanced.
- Four to six filled pills run underneath in one even row whose total width matches the title exactly.
- Two colours only, so the whole thing is carried by weight, alignment and negative space.
Pairs with
- Cut From the PictureThree 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.
- Every Letter a ThingOne word where no two letters are made of the same stuff — one is glass, one is a shell, one is a fish — floating over a road that runs to the horizon. Five fields.
- Four Cards, One PersonOne person sits in a bare studio while four frosted-glass cards hover around them — intro, skills, contact, link — with their title set enormous behind their shoulders. Six fields.
