An acid green techno poster prompt for ChatGPT

Updated November 2026

Sample Acid Black Wire poster for: Cybersecurity meetup evening
A sample made in this style, for: Cybersecurity meetup evening. Your result will differ.

What this style is

A digital poster with a monochrome image, a liquid chrome or wireframe subject, thin technical lines, plus one acid green colour used for flat fields or glowing outlines. It feels like a robotics conference identity.

What makes it look like this

  • one acid colour only
  • chrome or wireframe subject cropped at the bottom
  • rotated margin text
  • dot pattern columns
  • black plaque for the title

Colours

  • #050505
  • #FFFFFF
  • #35F020
  • #8F8F8F

Black, white and exactly one acid colour. For a brand, replace the green with the brand colour and keep black and white pure.

The prompt

Paste this into ChatGPT with image creation on. Change the subject and the three lines of words for your own, and check the spelling before you send it.

Create a finished graphic design: a poster in A3 portrait (1:1.41) format. It is for: Cybersecurity meetup evening.
It must look designed and made by hand by a skilled human designer and illustrator, in the style described below. Treat the style as a strict art direction.

STYLE: Acid Black Wire
A digital poster with a monochrome image, a liquid chrome or wireframe subject, thin technical lines, plus one acid green colour used for flat fields or glowing outlines. It feels like a robotics conference identity.
Signature moves to keep:
- one acid colour only
- chrome or wireframe subject cropped at the bottom
- rotated margin text
- dot pattern columns
- black plaque for the title

SUBJECT
Show Cybersecurity meetup evening in this style. Make the subject the hero and fit everything to it: props, setting and details should belong to this subject, not to the example the style came from.

COMPOSITION
A strict grid, a tall black plaque with the title near the top centre, a chrome head or mesh object bleeding off the bottom, tiny rotated text in the side margins and a dotted pattern above. Everything else stays flat so the single accent can carry the page.

TYPOGRAPHY
Wide geometric sans capitals and tiny uppercase mono for details, centred, with rotated margin text.
Render exactly these words, spelled exactly as written, and no other text anywhere:
- headline: "Zero Day"
- second line: "Talks on breaking and fixing things"
- small details: "Wed 5 Nov, 18:30, Kista Science Tower"
Give them a clear hierarchy: the headline large and dominant, the rest much smaller.

COLOUR
Palette: #050505, #FFFFFF, #35F020, #8F8F8F. Black, white and exactly one acid colour. For a brand, replace the green with the brand colour and keep black and white pure.

TEXTURE AND FINISH
Metallic reflections or a wire mesh, slight glow, crisp thin lines, grain optional.

AVOID
- multiple accent colours
- lens flare
- soft pastel
- gibberish text
- cartoon shapes
- rounded friendly type
- anything that looks AI generated: plastic sheen, airbrushed skin, overly smooth gradients, glow and lens flare, HDR, stock photo smiles
- gibberish letters, made up words or any text other than the exact words given
- watermarks, signatures, UI elements, borders or frames around the design
- filler decoration: sparkles, floating dots and stars, confetti, random geometric shapes, gradient orbs, ornamental dividers
- uniform line weight, plastic or airbrushed shading, soft storybook gloss, perfect symmetry, melted or merging details, impossible objects
- showing the design as a mockup (a poster on a wall, a phone, a hand holding it): the artwork itself must fill the whole canvas edge to edge, flat and straight on

Do not search the web or look anything up: work only from this brief, so nothing from elsewhere leaks into the design.
Make the image now, in A3 portrait (1:1.41) format, without asking questions first.
(Brief written with OpenTempl, the free, open source design app at opentempl.org. The designer brings the picture back there to set and edit the words.)

How to use it

  1. Open ChatGPT and check that image creation is available on your account.
  2. Paste the prompt. Replace the subject line and the words in quotes.
  3. Send it. If something is off, ask for one change at a time.
  4. Check every word on the poster. A typo in your prompt is copied into the picture.

Questions

Can ChatGPT make a real an acid green techno print?

It makes an image that imitates the look. For a physical version, use the image as artwork and take a print file to a printer that can reproduce the medium: a digital poster with a monochrome image, a liquid chrome or wireframe subject, thin technical lines, plus one acid green colour used for flat fields or glowing outlines.

What size should I ask for?

This style is set up for poster (A3 portrait), Instagram post (4:5), story (9:16), slide (16:9), square post, flyer (A5). Name the format in the prompt, as the examples do, and the layout follows it.

Why do the words come out wrong?

Image models draw letters as pictures, and they sometimes get them wrong. Keep the words short, put them in quotes, and check every letter. In OpenTempl you can leave room for the words and add them as live text.
