Reverse engineering – key visual

I previously wrote about reverse engineering visual backgrounds for my slide use.

Similar technique applies to key visual too. The example in this case:

source
Generated from reverse engineered prompt

The problem:

  1. Finding stock image of a corporate lady. Level: easy, find in shutterstock.
  2. Overlay geometric lines. Level: difficult, need to design the shape of lines, number of nodes, area of face to overlap, etc.

Platform: Gemini

Step 1> Reverse engineer the source image into possible prompt

Step 2> Change the elements in the prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

A photorealistic studio portrait of a young Black man with a short beard looking directly at the camera, wearing a grey t-shirt……

Modified input prompt

A photorealistic studio portrait of a young white woman in business wear looking directly at the camera……

Step 3> Open new chat, select Nano Banana and paste the prompt.
