# Notebook-style annotated portrait

> A JSON prompt for a cut-out portrait on grid notebook paper with handwritten notes and doodles

Steal this: Split an image prompt into user inputs, settings and style, so only a few lines change per image.

## What it is

A JSON image prompt with a user section (center image, title, theme text), settings (4:5, auto-generated items) and a style block for a cozy diary look: grid paper, doodles and handwritten notes around a central portrait.

## What it’s for

Add annotations to an image of a person.

## Benefits

- The values you edit sit in one small block at the top
- Style details live in their own block

## Caveats

- The title and theme text are sample values. Replace them, and attach your own picture.
