Missing keys: trench-coated detective searching ransacked living room

Prompt for this example

A funny vertical 3:4 cover in the look of a lurid painted pulp detective novel: thick opaque brushwork, hot reds against deep blues, and firm bright highlights. The person in [your character photo] is the detective: keep their recognizable face, apparent age, skin tone and hair as the painting renders people, and never swap in another face. They wear a tan trench coat over a gray t-shirt and trousers with white sneakers, lean forward with one hand on a knee, and peer through a magnifying glass held in the other, hunting for lost keys in a ransacked living room: a red velvet sofa with tossed cushions, papers and books strewn across a patterned rug, an open drawer and a glowing table lamp. The title at the top reads exactly "THE CASE OF THE MISSING KEYS" in bold yellow capitals over three lines. Books, papers and pictures carry no lettering, and no other text appears.

Painted Cover poster

Paint a vivid cover with modeled figure, firm opaque highlights, deep simple shadows and energetic setting strokes. Main contours are decisive, secondary passages spare. Outlines stay painted, skin reads as opaque cover-paint, and the cast, costume and props stay exactly as given. Broad silhouette, pose, proportions and colour masses only. Below fingertip scale all forms become opaque cover-paint strokes. Eyes and nose are the same medium marks with one medium-made highlight. Texture everywhere. Every passage reads as opaque cover paint, strands as paint masses and eyes as matte medium marks.

Tool prompt

A funny vertical 3:4 poster for [your gag: the joke, who is in it, and the scene], in [the look you want]. Stage the joke large around one clear star so the poster reads at a glance, and build the scene, pose and outfit around the idea. [Optional character photo] If you supply one, it is the star: keep a person's recognizable face, apparent age, skin tone and hair, or an animal's build and markings, and never swap in another face. Without a photo, invent an original character from the gag; never copy an existing character, mascot, logo or trademark, and never draw a real person's likeness. [Optional exact words in quotes] Only if you give exact words, letter them exactly as written, punctuation included, large enough to read at poster size; otherwise every sign, shirt, book and screen stays plain and unlettered. Add no person, animal, prop or logo the gag does not name, and keep the whole artwork inside the frame.

Works with any AI art generator.

When to use this tool

You have a joke and want it on a wall, a card or the group chat: a spoof office motivational poster, a fake travel ad for somewhere ordinary, a pulp cover for a small household mystery. Bring the gag in words, add a photo if someone specific should star, and quote the words you want lettered.

What you get

One AI-made vertical 3:4 poster in the catalog look you choose, as an image file at the dimensions the provider returns. The star is your supplied person or pet, kept recognizable, or an original character invented from your gag. Lettering appears only with the exact words you approve; otherwise the poster stays unlettered.

How it works

  1. Tell Sema the gag: what is funny, who stars, and the scene it happens in.
  2. Add a photo if someone specific should star, quote any words to letter, and pick a look; planning is free and Sema confirms the poster with you.
  3. Approve the quoted credits, then read every word on the finished poster at full size before you share it; another gag is a separate priced generation.

Tips for the best brief

  • One star, one joke: a poster lands when the gag reads from across the room.
  • Quote the words exactly as they should print, punctuation included, and keep them short.

Questions

What exact words will appear on my poster?

Only the words you approve, lettered exactly as you quote them. With no approved words the poster stays unlettered, and Sema does not add titles, captions or background text on her own. If you ask her to decide, she proposes the words and confirms them with you word for word before anything is priced. AI lettering can still slip, so read the finished poster letter by letter.

Can the poster star me, a friend or my pet?

Yes, from one clear photo you have the right to use. A person keeps their recognizable features, apparent age, skin tone and hair, a pet keeps its build and markings, and the face is never swapped. Without a photo the character is invented from your gag, and a real person's likeness is only drawn from their own photo. Likeness is close, not guaranteed identical, so check it before you share.

What does one poster cost?

Planning with Sema is free. One poster with no reference costs 2 credits at the standard quality tier, 4 credits with one reference, and the exact cost is shown for your approval before anything runs. A generation that fails technically returns its credits.

What do I get, and how do I use it?

One AI-made raster poster in a vertical 3:4 frame, downloaded as an image file at the dimensions the provider returns. It is a joke artwork, not a print file: check the delivered size against your printer before ordering a large print.

Can I download my result?

Yes. You can download the finished poster from your account. It is a raster picture, not a vector file or a print-ready layout.

Can I revise the result?

Ask Sema what to change and approve a new quote before another generation. A revision is a new priced generation, not a free manual redraw.

How is my content handled?

Job uploads are deleted after completion, success or failure. Photos attached to Sema are kept while that conversation exists so you can resume it, and released when you detach them or delete the conversation. Private results are stored for your gallery and recovery. Private images and personal uploads are not used to train models; OpenAI processes your prompt and source images to make the result.

Bold Graphic Cartoon poster

A funny poster in the Bold Graphic Cartoon look: confident outlines, flat bright color and a face that reads across the room.
Explore Bold Graphic Cartoon poster style

Prompt for this example

A funny vertical 3:4 poster that spoofs an office motivational poster, drawn as a bold cartoon with dark outlines, flat color and a few brushed shadows, in deep teal shadow and golden light. The person in [your character photo] is the star: keep their recognizable face, apparent age, skin tone and hair as the cartoon draws people, and never swap in another face. They hang from a pull-up bar fixed across an office doorway, arms straight up, each hand wrapping four fingers over the bar with the thumb beneath it, feet swinging well clear of the floor, with a small determined smile, in a plain gray t-shirt, trousers and sneakers. A warm spotlight falls on them from above; deeper in the office, four much smaller coworkers clap behind their desks among blank monitors and potted plants. The headline across the top reads exactly "HANG IN THERE (AGAIN)" in big cream block letters, breaking after THERE. No other text, logos or labels anywhere: screens, shirts and surfaces stay plain. The whole figure stays inside the frame.

Prompt for this example

A funny vertical 3:4 poster that parodies a gym sign-up ad, drawn as a bold cartoon with dark outlines, flat mustard and teal color, and a light brushed texture. The person in [your character photo] is the star: keep their recognizable face, apparent age, skin tone and hair as the cartoon draws people, and never swap in another face. They lie on their back on a tilted black weight bench, eyes closed and smiling in a contented nap, hands folded on the stomach, sneakers resting at the low end, while a single hex dumbbell sits forgotten on the floor. A slightly crooked cream cloth banner pinned to the mustard wall reads exactly "LEG DAY IS CANCELLED" in heavy black letters. That banner is the only text: no other signs, labels or numbers appear anywhere.

Bold Graphic Cartoon poster

Bold graphic cartoon illustration: every form redrawn as simplified shapes with confident near-black contours and broad flat colour fills, modelled only by a few textured brush shadows and painted highlights; nothing photographic. Saturated colours suit each scene, with strong light-dark separation. People keep natural proportions; eyes, brows, nose and mouth are drawn in clear dark lines, eyes and brows slightly enlarged so the scene's expression reads at a glance; skin is flat tone with one or two brushed shadows; hair falls in chunky locks with a few dark strands. Animals keep their true build and markings, fur in outlined clumps. The subject stands alone and comes first.

Etched Travel Poster

A funny poster as a vintage etched travel poster: warm aged paper, teal accents and true-to-life faces.
Explore Etched Travel Poster style

Prompt for this example

A funny vertical 3:4 poster that sells an ordinary laundromat as a grand travel destination, styled as a worn vintage travel poster: aged cream paper, a deep teal frame with round corner medallions and plain bands, and one warm, toned photographic panel in the middle. The person in [your character photo] is the star: keep their recognizable face, apparent age, skin tone and hair, and never swap in another face. They stand proudly beside a big stainless front-loading dryer at night, ankles crossed, one hand resting flat on its top, laundry glowing behind the round door window. Behind them stand a row of machines, a wire cart piled with towels, and dark windows with streetlights beyond. The headline at the top reads exactly "VISIT THE LAUNDROMAT" in large cream block letters on the teal band. No other text anywhere: machine panels, signs and clothing stay plain and unlettered.

Prompt for this example

A funny vertical 3:4 poster in the look of a faded vintage seaside postcard: aged cream paper, a thin teal border with round corner medallions, soft printed color and visible wear. The animal in [your pet or character photo] is the star: keep its build, face, ears and coat markings exactly as the photo shows. It dozes with eyes shut in a teal-and-cream striped wooden beach chair, one front paw draped over the armrest and the back paws tucked on the seat, under a tilted striped umbrella on the sand, with gentle surf, a distant headland and three seagulls in a pale blue sky. The headline across the top reads exactly "GREETINGS FROM NAPTIME" in big teal letters, with NAPTIME largest. No other text, signs or logos anywhere.

Etched Travel Poster

Vintage travel-poster illustration on aged paper, with fine etched contours, stippled wear and dry printed edges: subjects may be re-posed in poised silhouettes. People keep natural proportions with smooth, true-to-life faces: clear eyes and calm closed smiles, skin softly toned under print grain and wear, hair in soft printed masses. Animals keep true anatomy, fur softly toned. Etching and hatching stay on contours and surroundings. Bold overlapping geometric discs organize the field behind them, the setting in flat print shapes. Choose a two- or three-ink palette that fits the scene, under warm low-angle light. No text unless the owner supplies the words.

Painted Cover poster

Prompt for this example

A funny vertical 3:4 cover in the look of a schlocky painted midnight-movie poster: heavy opaque brushwork, inky blues, cold refrigerator light and one warm glow from the far counter. The animal in [your pet or character photo] is the star: keep its build, face, ears and coat markings exactly as the photo shows. Caught mid-raid in a dark kitchen at night, it stands at an open, glowing refrigerator with its head turned back toward the viewer, wide guilty eyes and one front paw raised, while green olives roll across the shiny tiled floor from a tub on the bottom shelf. The title at the top reads exactly "ATTACK OF THE 3AM SNACK" in ragged cream horror letters. Cartons, tubs and jars carry no labels, and no other text appears anywhere.
