Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

DALL-E

Friendly to natural-language descriptionsConcept blending & creative ideasIllustration & cartoon styleLow barrier to entry
Writing full sentences, as if describing a painting, works better than stacking keywords. When you want a specific style, describe the feeling you're after rather than listing style jargon.

Nano Banana Pro

Consistent characters across multiple reference imagesIn-image text layout & renderingFollows long, structured prompts closelyFine-grained layout for e-commerce & infographics
Feel free to use structured formats (JSON, sectioned lists) when writing prompts — it parses hierarchical instructions much better than piles of short phrases. When text needs to appear in the image, write the exact wording in quotes.
