Section titled “Tips & Best Practices”- Name specific items: Don’t say “local landmarks” — list them. “Eiffel Tower, croissant, Métro sign” produces far better results than vague category references.
- 6-10 items for square, 12-16 for landscape: This fills the grid appropriately without overcrowding or leaving gaps.
- “Neat grid with parallel lines and right angles”: This is the knolling instruction. Without it, AI scatters magnets randomly, losing the satisfying organizational aesthetic.
- The city-name magnet anchors the set: “A ‘TOKYO’ souvenir magnet centered at the top” ties the whole collection together and immediately communicates the theme.
- Common pitfalls: “Fridge magnets” alone often produces flat illustrated magnets. Specify “3D” and “realistic resin textures” for the handmade souvenir look. Avoid “scattered” or “collection” without grid instruction.
- Pairs well with: Miniature People in Everyday Objects (similar macro-miniature aesthetic), Landmark Dioramas (same travel/location theme, different execution)
