Xiaohongshu (RED) cover image with bold title typography

This prompt describes the look of a Xiaohongshu (RED) cover but not its topic: bold, characterful typography, a clear hierarchy with a strong title, generous spacing between text blocks, a bright accent only on key words, an eye-catching background such as paper texture, a notebook or a chat window, and a few icons or images for depth without clutter. Because no topic is given, the model picks one. Our 9:16 example came back entirely in Simplified Chinese on torn notebook paper: a large black headline asking how ordinary people can study efficiently and turn things around, with the words for efficient study in yellow, a black banner announcing six methods, a checklist from time management to beating procrastination, a taped photo of an alarm clock and notebooks, a speech bubble, doodled arrows and a closing line telling readers to save the post. Add your own topic, exact title and language to the prompt, and edit any claims the model writes for you.

What it is good for

  • A cover for study notes, tips or checklist posts on Xiaohongshu
  • List-style covers such as five tools or six methods for a topic
  • A quick layout draft to show a designer before the final cover is made
  • A consistent look for a series of posts by keeping the same background and colors

Prompt tips

  • Write the exact title in quotes inside the prompt so the model does not invent its own
  • State the language of the cover; our example was all in Simplified Chinese
  • Pick one background, such as notebook paper, instead of listing three options
  • Remove or edit claims the model adds, such as 'tested myself', if they are not true for your post
  • Check how the app crops your cover in the feed before you post it
