While having your entire imagination to come up with ideas may seem incredible, sometimes it’s better to have a list of prompts to bounce off. Here are 13 great prompt ideas for AI font generation using Adobe Firefly.
How to Use Adobe Firefly’s AI Text Effects Generator
Adobe Firefly was announced in March 2023, but if you want to use it, you must have an Adobe account to sign up for the Firefly Beta. Once signed up, Adobe will e-mail you a link toaccess Adobe Firefly, including the AI Text Effects tool.
You’ll see a few options, includinga cool Recolor Vectors tool. We’ve written a guide forhow to use Adobe Firefly’s AI vector recoloring tool. Scroll to find theText Effectsoption and selectGenerateto open the Text Effects tool page.
You’ll see some large examples of AI text effects, and at the bottom is a text box split into two. On the left, you can type the text you wish to apply the effect to—we’re going to write “MakeUseOf” for all our examples—and the larger part of the text box is where you can write your descriptive prompt before selectingGenerateto realize your imagination.
Once you’ve generated a text effect you like, hover your cursor over it and select theDownloadicon orOptions > Copy to Clipboard, so you can paste your text directly into Photoshop. Let’s jump into some great prompts you can try.
1. Banana Skin
A slightly ripened banana has such a recognizable texture, and you can easily use Banana Skin as a successful prompt in Adobe Firefly. This prompt produces a fun-loving text that could be great for any food branding or designs.
SelectLooseunderText Effect Fitto add some playfulness with strands of banana.
Make like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears circa 2001 and live out all your double-denim dreams with this Denim prompt.
Firefly generates a rough-and-ready style of denim to coat your lettering. Not quite fashionable ripped jeans, but scruffy and texturized—which is enough to catch the eye.
3. Plumbing Pipes
Play towards the thin layered textures of Adobe Firefly’s results and use Plumbing Pipes as a prompt. You’ll have a result of overlaying pipes and connectors of various colors. Just don’t show your local plumber this pipe work; it’s not as neat as you’d want your bathroom pipes to look.
4. Holographic Paper
While Firefly doesn’t generate results of sweeping coverage, you can achieve a layered paper result with this prompt. You can alsocreate a similar layered paper effect in Procreateif you want more precise results.
These holographic colors are trendy and eye-catching. You could use this text effect for any designs that appeal to a young adult market.
5. Cobalt Blue Candle Wax Drip
This cobalt blue text effect makes eyes pop. The candle wax effect is exaggerated when you selectLooseunder theText Effect Fitpanel, resulting in small candles and even flames on top of the text. Choose theBluecolor swatch underText Coloroptions to make your text look like letter-shaped candles dripping luxuriously with wax.

6. Summer Flowers
Add a beautiful summery or spring vibe to your designs using this Summer Flowers text prompt. LeavingLoosechecked underText Effect Fitallows for some sprouting leaves and flowers. This gives a gorgeous overgrown look.
This prompt works great for any nature brand, florists, or would even work perfect on a Mother’s Day greetings card.
7. Overgrown Vine Jungle
If you want rustic Tangled-inspired text, using Overgrown Vine Jungle as a prompt will produce the perfect result for just that. We switched the typeface toVorticeunder theFontoptions to result in this monospace overgrown lettering.
Using this prompt on the design of a fairy tale book cover would work really well. It has plenty of whimsical feel and mystery to it, while not being too spooky.
8. Rose Gold Balloon
This prompt is right on trend in 2023. The rose gold color is a top choice for luxury branding, and foil balloons are still a prominent feature for many Instagram influencers' birthday parties.
We changed theText Effect FittoTight,so the foil effect stretches more realistically over the letters. And we changed theFonttoSource Sans 3to be closer to how the real-life letter balloons look. Copy these letters to your clipboard and draw balloon strings in Photoshop to finish the design.
9. Twisted Chocolate
For lettering that makes you want to rip it off the screen and devour it, try the Twisted Chocolate prompt. These twirled milk and white chocolate-esque letters give Willy Wonka a run for his money.
These letters would work great for food branding, a baking recipe book, or designing a birthday card for your chocoholic bestie. Just try not to drool over it.
