Fashion magazine cover with your name prompt

This puts you on the cover of an invented fashion magazine called NORTHLIGHT, in an ivory blazer against a peach backdrop with your own name in a cover line. Use it for a birthday surprise, a promotion announcement or a congratulations post for a friend.

Gemini and Nano BananaOpen Gemini

Turn my uploaded photo into a fashion magazine cover. Keep my face exactly the same. I wear a tailored ivory blazer and pose with one hand on my collar against a soft peach studio backdrop. A large bold serif masthead at the top reads "NORTHLIGHT". Cover lines on the left in white: "[YOUR NAME]: the new faces of 2026" and "Style, work and what comes next". A small barcode in the bottom corner. Glossy editorial lighting, 3:4 portrait frame.

Replace [YOUR NAME] with your own text before you send it.

Photo to upload: A waist-up photo facing the camera with straight shoulders works best, and since the cover lines run down the left side, a photo where you stand slightly right of centre needs less redrawing.

What each part of the prompt does

Invented masthead: "NORTHLIGHT" is a made-up title, so the cover does not borrow a real magazine's name. It is a single word in capitals, which helps it print cleanly.
Your name in quotes: The cover line "[YOUR NAME]: the new faces of 2026" puts your name inside quoted text, so Gemini prints it rather than paraphrasing. If a full name keeps coming out wrong, use just the first name.
Pose and outfit: A tailored ivory blazer and "one hand on my collar" is a classic cover pose that brings a hand near the face without covering it.
Cover furniture: White cover lines on the left, a small barcode in the bottom corner and glossy editorial light are the details that make it read as a printed cover, not a portrait with words on top.

A small barcode in the bottom corner. Crisp editorial lighting, 3:4 portrait frame.

A large bold serif masthead at the top reads "NORTHLIGHT". Cover lines on the left in white: "[YOUR NAME]: the new faces of 2026" and "Style, work and what comes next".

If the result isn't right

If the masthead is misspelled, reply "the masthead reads NORTHLIGHT, ten letters, all capitals".
Cover lines sometimes run across the face; ask for "all text in the left third, nothing over the face".
If Gemini adds extra cover lines in gibberish, type "only the masthead, the two cover lines and the barcode, no other text".
Should the cover come back square, follow up with "redo as a 3:4 vertical cover".
