A retro arcade lounge places audio products in a social setting with a playful visual history. Headphones and portable technology accessories suit this campaign, especially when the aim is to show leisure rather than a formal desk routine. Bring your product photograph into ChatGPT and keep the device design fixed while asking for the translucent furnishings and flash-lit mood. Background screens should stay unobtrusive, allowing the wearer and product to carry the story instead of unrelated entertainment details.
Describe your tech in a few words. Still attach your product photo in ChatGPT.
Create one photorealistic 3x2 campaign grid using ONLY the attached product reference(s), or [PRODUCT DESCRIPTION]. Six equal photographic cells, three columns and two rows, landscape 16:9, thin white gutters. Sector: Consumer electronics. Direction: Y2K / retro futurism. Route: Lifestyle. Set: A real retro arcade lounge with translucent furniture, no readable screens. Apply the visual language through real surroundings and location props. Use translucent acrylic, iridescent scenic surfaces, bubble geometry and candid direct-flash energy. Lighting: Direct flash with cool fill; neutral product color. Palette cue: icy blue, lilac, holographic silver. Adapt supporting set colors to the supplied product. Preserve its exact geometry, colors, materials, construction, packaging and visible branding. Choose one suitable adult hero internally; retain face, hair, skin tone, proportions and styling within this campaign. Use only real product features; adapt unavailable mechanisms or garments to what exists. No captions, numbers, invented logos or watermark.
Exact row-major plan:
R1C1 Listening hero: Wear headphones correctly over both ears with natural headband position. Camera eye-level front; crop head and shoulders.
R1C2 Desk routine: Sit at a simple desk wearing the same headphones, laptop screen out of focus. Camera eye-level three-quarter; crop waist-up.
R1C3 Handheld product: Hold both earcups naturally without distorting headband. Camera eye-level oblique; crop hands and headphones.
R2C1 Commute pause: Sit in a bright transit lounge wearing same headphones. Camera eye-level side; crop three-quarter body seated.
R2C2 Control detail: Lightly touch one actual control with a plausible fingertip. Camera oblique macro; crop earcup and hand.
R2C3 Relaxed portrait: Rest headphones around neck without impossible geometry. Camera eye-level three-quarter; crop head to chest.
Keep the same product in every panel. Supporting styling is inferred from the product. For separate subject photographs, reuse the internally generated hero alongside the original product reference for continuity.
Attach your product photo before you paste the prompt. A plain background and even light give the most accurate result.

How to use this kit
- Photograph your tech. Use a plain background and soft, even light. A phone photo is fine if it's sharp.
- Open ChatGPT and attach the photo. Use a model that can create images.
- Paste the full campaign prompt and send it. You get a 6-panel grid. Use the shot list above to make any panel at full size.
- Fix details in the same chat. If something changed, reply with what to keep, for example: “Keep the label exactly as in my photo.”

Questions about this kit
- What does the y2k / retro futurism tech lifestyle shoot prompt create?
- It creates one 6-panel campaign grid in ChatGPT: listening hero, desk routine, handheld product, commute pause, control detail and relaxed portrait. Every panel shows your own tech, so the set works as one consistent campaign.
- Can I make one of the shots at full size?
- Yes. Each of the 6 shots has its own prompt in the shot list on this page. Open the shot you want, copy its prompt and send it with your product photo to get that panel as a full-size image.
- Are there people in the photos?
- No. This is a product-only board, which suits listings, catalogues and ads where the tech should be the only subject.
- Will ChatGPT keep my tech exactly as it is?
- The prompt tells ChatGPT to treat your photo as the source of truth and to protect the buttons, ports, finish and proportions. If a detail still changes, reply in the same chat: “Keep the buttons exactly as in my photo.”
