Build a Consistent AI Persona: Style Guide in 30 Minutes
Your persona should feel like the same “character” in every post. Make a simple style guide and reuse it.
Define your anchors
- Lighting: pick 2 setups (e.g., soft studio + moody neon).
- Palette: 3–5 hex colors; reuse for overlays/text.
- Lens/Framing: 35mm close, 50mm portrait, 85mm detail.
- Texture: pick 1–2 (film grain, glossy, painterly).
Save prompt blocks
- Subject block: who you are + key traits.
- Scene block: environment + mood.
- Style block: lighting + lens + texture.
- Output block: aspect ratio + quality.
Example:
<subject> cyberpunk founder, confident, subtle smirk
<scene> neon alley, rain reflections, city bokeh
<style> soft rim light, 50mm, shallow DOF, light film grain
<output> portrait, 4k, vibrant skin tones
Variations without drift
- Change scene while freezing style block.
- Change palette while freezing lens/lighting.
- Change pose while freezing palette + texture.
Checks before posting
- Does the face stay recognizable?
- Are colors aligned to your palette?
- Are overlays/fonts consistent?
Document this once, paste it into your prompts, and you’ll get a cohesive feed.
