Flat-vector editorial illustration prompt

Flat-vector illustration is the default look for blog headers and SaaS marketing. The trick is a tight palette and an explicit "flat" instruction so the model doesn't sneak in gradients and 3D shading.

Modern flat-vector illustration of [SUBJECT + ACTION], [SETTING / PROPS]. Flat design, clean geometric shapes, palette of [2–4 NAMED COLORS] plus soft neutrals, subtle grain texture, minimal detail, generous negative space, consistent line weight, no gradients, no 3D, no photorealism. [Square / landscape] framing. No text, no watermark.

Worked example:
Modern flat-vector illustration of a woman sitting cross-legged with a laptop, a large potted plant beside her and a cat curled at her feet. Flat design, clean geometric shapes, palette of muted coral, teal, and mustard plus warm neutrals, subtle grain texture, minimal detail, generous negative space, consistent line weight, no gradients, no 3D, no photorealism. Landscape framing. No text, no watermark.

Tips:
- Always add "no gradients, no 3D" — that one clause is what keeps it truly flat.
- Keep the palette to 3–4 named colors and reuse it for a matching set.
- Leave negative space if you'll drop a headline on top in Figma or Canva later.
