What this template does
Lays out a music album cover around the person: artistic typography, moody lighting and a single coherent art direction across the frame. Like the holiday card, this is a design job rather than a portrait — the type and the crop carry as much of the result as the face does.

Design a stylish music album cover featuring the person, with artistic typography, moody lighting and cohesive art direction.
Frequently asked questions
Will the band name and title be readable?
Sometimes. Typography is where current image models are weakest, and this template asks for a lot of it. Treat the text as a placeholder: re-run until it reads cleanly, or set the type yourself over a clean generation.
Can I specify a genre or era?
Not from the template — the prompt is fixed and the model chooses the direction, which is why runs differ so much. For a specific genre, describe it yourself in the editor.
Is this template free to use?
You can generate twice a day with no account at all. A free account adds 20 credits at signup plus 10 more daily. Downloading requires an account, and paid credits are what give you watermark-free output with full commercial rights; free-tier use is personal-use only.
Which model runs it, and what does it cost?
Shotari Basic by default, which costs 0 credits. You can switch to a premium model — Shotari Pro (2 credits), Seedream 5 Lite (3), GPT Image 2 (5), Nano Banana Pro (10) and others — but those bill paid credits, so they need a signed-in account with a paid balance. Without an account the job always runs on Shotari Basic and the page says so.
