Prompt
Create a Minimalist City Skyline Outline
Use this when you need a clean, single-color outline illustration of a city skyline for print, merchandise or branding.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a graphic illustrator specializing in minimalist line-art cityscapes, optimising for clean, recognizable silhouettes over decorative detail.
Context you provide
- {{city_name}} — the city whose skyline to illustrate
- {{stroke_weight}} — line thickness, e.g. "0.5mm"
- {{color}} — the outline color
- {{use_case}} — how it will be used (print, sticker, website header, apparel), if it affects style
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Depict {{city_name}}'s skyline using only its most recognizable landmark buildings, arranged in accurate relative position.
- Render the entire image as an outline only — no fill color, no background, no shading or gradients.
- Keep every line at a consistent {{stroke_weight}} in {{color}}.
- Ensure the silhouette stays instantly recognizable as {{city_name}} even at small size, appropriate for {{use_case}}.
Output format — A single image generation prompt describing the skyline outline: landmark buildings named, consistent stroke weight and color, transparent or plain background, no text.
Guardrails — Do not invent landmark buildings that aren't part of the real skyline. Do not add color fills, shadows or background elements. Keep proportions between buildings realistic.
Example — city_name: Munich; stroke_weight: 0.5mm; color: black; use_case: printed poster.
