Pixels behaving badly: Generate Collage art with these 10 Prompts for AI Art
Ten AI-generated posters that prove AI Art can’t stick to one art school, even when you ask nicely.
Ok, I’m old, so please forgive me if this line sounds like ages ago: Remember the first time you opened Photoshop and discovered you could layer everything?
That giddy feeling, equal parts possibility and chaos, is exactly what happened when I used some of these unruly prompts and told my AI tool to “go wild.”
So here is the result: A gallery of halftone pop-art clashing with Afrofuturist neon grids, glitch sprites attacking Bauhaus geometry, and typographic figures literally dissolve into goo.
Let’s dive in into the goo.
These prompts were generated with Midjourney, but should be able to work in most platforms. If you test them, please share. Would be awesome to see other results.
Halftone print
An edgy and visually intriguing portrait of an American woman with the words "STRONG" featuring glitch art elements, red color splashes, and digital symbolism, double exposure photography, halftone print, pop art, collage. --stylize 1000 --v 7
Yeah. Midjourney is bad with text. But you can try adding grainy newspaper texture for extra retro punch.
Geometric Overlays
Poster blending Black art, Afrofuturism, and hype culture. Neon pinks, deep purples, and golden accents, with powerful Black portraiture, geometric overlays, layout sketches, and ruler annotations. Inspired by "smardart" aesthetics mixing streetwear, digital abstraction, and cultural symbolism.
Possible variations: Change colors, theme, or add 3-D extruded geometry for depth.
Glitch Effects
A young woman with black hair in neon orange monochrome clothes with glitch and pixel effect, abstract shapes, white background --stylize 1000 --v 7
Possible variations: Add text (yeah, I know), shapes, or high-key studio lighting, soft shadows to smooth the stark clear background.
Bauhaus Style
A collage-style art image of a woman smiling with her hand on her face, in the style of Bauhaus, featuring surreal elements like flowers, grapes and spices, geometric shapes, and abstract forms in light blue, yellow, grey, black, white, and orange colors. --stylize 500 --v 7
Possible variations: Bump stylize to 750 and add paper texture overlay for more craft feel.
Typographic Figure
A full-body typographic woman disintegrating into chaotic streams of fragmented letters, storytelling through broken text, dynamic motion captured mid-collapse, gritty urban textures behind her, black, red, and muted gray palette --v 7
Possible variations: Change tones to blue for a tech feel, or insert slow shutter motion blur to exaggerate the collapse
Graphic Collage
Graphic collage poster style of cinematic theme, film editing concept, layers of film reels, frames, and timeline cuts, creative typography, red green blue, modern color palette, artistic composition, surreal but clean, inspired by movie editing software interfaces, high-res, editorial layout --stylize 1000 --v 7
Possible variations: Consider adding floating interface HUD elements for sci-fi overlay.
Organic shapes
A dynamic dance advertisement featuring a jung rapper woman dance in rapper style, in front turquoise organic shapes. The image combines professional studio photography with modern graphic design elements, creating a powerful and contemporary healthy aesthetic. --stylize 1000 --v 7
Possible variations: Change subject to break-dancer in metallic tracksuit or other types of dance for extra pop.
Abstract expressive typography
K, abstract expressive typography, fragmented letterforms, layered glitch textures, brutalist layout, Swiss design meets grunge aesthetics, inspired by David Carson, Neville Brody, Buro Destruct, Pentagram, high contrast black and white with neon accents, emotional intensity, chaos and order visual tension --stylize 750 --v 7
Possible variations: Add spray-paint drips of your favorite color for subtle street-art grit.
Overlaid bio-pattern
Poster design, The Second Nature, brutalist grid layout with overlaid bio-pattern symbols, sharp contrast black and neon green color scheme, abstract 2D shapes intersecting in layered screen-print style, typography embedded as visual structure, high-density modern graphic design, print poster style, visual noise textures, --stylize 1000 --v 7
Possible variations: What about adding holographic foil highlights for sheen?
Grunge Graffiti
Graffiti over old destroyed posters, grunge style, subtle dark colors --stylize 1000 --v 7
Possible variations: You can add neon tag highlights to break the gloom, or experiment with torn newspaper typography peeking through layers.
Hope you enjoyed these prompts.
Keep experimenting, touch grass and have a big cup of black coffee. Cheers.
