Make a start
One step at a time.
3 steps
Start with the synthetic worked example or other non-sensitive inputs. Run one prompt at a time in your chosen AI tool. Replace any bracketed placeholders with the requested material, check each reply, and supply the source or earlier outputs that step needs. Paste them again if the tool lacks that context.
Start with the synthetic example, then adapt each prompt to your task.
01
Open a text assistant and try the example
For a concrete starter route, open https://chatgpt.com and choose New chat. Sign in if that service requires it for your access. You can also use another text assistant you already have. Copy the entire prompt below (the instructions to paste), including the sample input, into its message box and send it. No upload or image generation is needed. Expect eight explained title candidates and two distinct finalists. The wording may differ from the example; the constraints should not. If it only explains the task, ask it to produce the finished result using the supplied input.
Your starting prompt
Create eight artwork-title candidates, two in each group: descriptive, poetic, process-based and lightly playful. Explain each in one sentence. Recommend two finalists with different strengths. Do not claim uniqueness or that a title is available for commercial use.
Use this complete made-up practice input:
Artwork, described by its fictional maker: A small abstract paper collage. Three blue rectangles overlap on cream paper. A narrow unglued edge casts a shadow. Tiny fragments of old envelope printing remain visible.
Maker's intention: Interested in layers, small gaps and traces of previous use. No intended ocean, city or family story.
Constraints: Each title one to four words; no “Untitled,” no famous artwork references, no invented biography. Avoid naming the work as a literal landscape.
Use: Personal creative project. The result is a shortlist; the maker chooses the final title.
Return the finished result. Keep it fictional and do not add claims about real people, products or events.
02
Check, correct and save
Read the response beside the original input. Count eight titles, two per group, with one to four words each. Check explanations refer to supplied visual details and intentions. Confirm no title establishes an ocean, city, family history or verified uniqueness. If a check fails, paste the correction prompt below in the same conversation. Check the revised result yourself, then copy the version you want into your own notes or document.
Your starting prompt
Check your previous result against this original input:
Artwork, described by its fictional maker: A small abstract paper collage. Three blue rectangles overlap on cream paper. A narrow unglued edge casts a shadow. Tiny fragments of old envelope printing remain visible.
Maker's intention: Interested in layers, small gaps and traces of previous use. No intended ocean, city or family story.
Constraints: Each title one to four words; no “Untitled,” no famous artwork references, no invented biography. Avoid naming the work as a literal landscape.
Use: Personal creative project. The result is a shortlist; the maker chooses the final title.
Check these requirements one by one:
- Count eight titles, two per group, with one to four words each.
- Check explanations refer to supplied visual details and intentions.
- Confirm no title establishes an ocean, city, family history or verified uniqueness.
Quote each problem, explain the smallest repair, and return a complete corrected version. If there is no problem, say which checks you applied. Do not claim that your own review proves quality or audience response.
03
Optional: use your own material
Open a new chat. Copy the prompt below and replace [PASTE YOUR INPUT HERE] with artwork description, making process, intended meaning and title exclusions. Use material you own or may use and leave out private details. The output limits written in this prompt stay in force; change a limit here too if you want a different one. Send the whole message. Expect the same kind of written result with your new material. Check it against this new input and these limits, not the sample’s names or numbers. If it differs, describe the exact mismatch and ask for a complete correction before saving.
Your starting prompt
Suggest eight artwork titles of one to four words each from my facts below, two each: descriptive, poetic, process-based and lightly playful. Explain each in one sentence and recommend two finalists with different strengths. Do not invent biography or intent, claim uniqueness or claim commercial availability.
If an essential detail is missing or two requirements conflict, ask me before filling the gap.

Optional: improve the result
Test the two finalists against the work
Use a small reader response to learn what a title changes. Keep the first version so you can compare the change. This extension uses the worked example. Return to that example chat, or paste its input and your checked example answer into a new chat first. Do not apply its sample values unchanged to your own input.
Advanced prompt
Create a neutral comparison question for two adult friends viewing the actual work, one title at a time: ask what detail each title made them notice. Do not tell them which is preferred or send any message. Give me a simple way to record their responses.
Use the original input and result in this conversation. If either is missing, ask me to paste it before continuing.

01 / The starting point
Synthetic input
Made-up example for practice. All people, places and events are invented.
Artwork, described by its fictional maker: A small abstract paper collage. Three blue rectangles overlap on cream paper. A narrow unglued edge casts a shadow. Tiny fragments of old envelope printing remain visible.
Maker's intention: Interested in layers, small gaps and traces of previous use. No intended ocean, city or family story.
Constraints: Each title one to four words; no “Untitled,” no famous artwork references, no invented biography. Avoid naming the work as a literal landscape.
Use: Personal creative project. The result is a shortlist; the maker chooses the final title.
Copies text only. For image or file tasks, use the source files named in the steps too.
Worked example written for this guide; it is not a recording of an AI run.
Descriptive
1. Three Blue Layers — Names the count, color and layered construction directly.
2. The Lifted Edge — Points to the unglued edge and its visible shadow.
Poetic
3. A Little Between — Draws attention to the small gaps without defining a literal scene.
4. Paper After Paper — Suggests both layers and the material's earlier use.
Process-based
5. Left Unglued — Highlights the deliberate loose edge.
6. Overlap Study — Frames the work as an exploration of overlapping shapes.
Lightly playful
7. Still Some Envelope — Acknowledges the surviving fragments of printed envelope paper.
8. Mind the Gap — Gives the small spaces a playful emphasis without adding a story.
Finalists:
- The Lifted Edge: best if you want the viewer to notice one concrete detail first.
- Paper After Paper: best if you want a more open title that connects layering with previous use.
All eight are suggestions for this described work. No title-uniqueness, legal availability or audience-response check has been performed.
These checks use the worked example and its particular facts. With your own material, check your actual names, numbers, sources and rules; do not reuse the sample’s values as the answer.
Unsaved checks stay in this tab and reset when you reload. If you choose Save guide, its current example checkmarks are kept in this browser when storage is available.

A few things to watch for.
A title can steer viewers toward a story the maker did not intend. Check its implied setting as well as its literal words.
Familiar phrases may already be used elsewhere. Do not mistake a generated shortlist for a uniqueness search.
