Turn Any City into a Floating Island

Floating island image of Toronto and all it's main landmarks , like the CN Tower and the Roger's Centre.

This is a super simple prompt, great for creating images for your scrapbook, for posters, or for slide decks. ChatGPT was my initial go-to for this, but Nano Banana handled it well.

Just copy the prompt below and replace the TWO instances of [CITY] with the city of your choice.

PROMPT

Design a clean, surreal travel-style poster in [x:y] format centered on [CITY]. Show the city as a levitating landmass, with its skyline, terrain, and most recognizable features built into the floating scene. Include bold white 3D letters spelling “[CITY]” as part of the composition. Use a low upward viewpoint, soft natural daylight, and a plain white background for a minimal, modern look. The visual style should feel polished, slightly dreamlike, and cinematic, with landmarks genuinely associated with that city rather than reused from another location.

Seedream 4.5 messed up by creating TWO Roger’s Centers and expanding the background OFF the island. A perfect example of how prompts are interpreted so differently across models.
