8 Prompts That Make Google’s Nano Banana Pro Actually Useful

Google’s new Nano Banana Pro can do more than you think. Here’s how to push it beyond basic image prompts to create high-impact, visual-first content.

TL;DR

• Nano Banana Pro isn’t just for pretty pictures – it can turn complex content into visuals that stick.
• From infographics to cinematic moodboards, these 8 use cases stretch your creative muscles.
• With the right prompt, even hotel teams can repurpose existing content into marketing gold.

1. Turn Speeches Into Stunning Infographics

Prompt: “Turn this video into a simple but visually stunning infographic that even a teenager would understand – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA“

Example: Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why” condensed into a bold, digestible infographic.

Hotelier Inspiration: Repurpose your GM’s welcome speech or brand story video into a one-pager for onboarding or website use.

2. Map Local Flavours With Visual Flair

Prompt (inspired by Ethan Mollick): “Create a map of India where every state is made out of its most famous food (the states should actually look like they are made of the food, not a picture of the food).”

Example: A delicious visual journey through Indian cuisine by state.

Hotelier Inspiration: Use this to highlight regional menus, chef specialties, or local sourcing on property or in F&B marketing.

3. Create Comic Books from Key Messages

Prompt: “Create a powerful comic book style visualization of the key message from this video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc“

Example: Steve Jobs’ Stanford Commencement speech reimagined as a comic strip.

Hotelier Inspiration: Turn training messages or brand values into digestible comic-style visuals for team handbooks.

4. Extract the Essence of Big Ideas

Prompt: “Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo – create a thought provoking visual in a black and white pencil drawing style so that the key message from his video is immediately understood.”

Bonus Prompt, from one of my favourite TED talks by Sir Ken Robinson: “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY – create a pop art style illustration of the key message from this video, without depicting any public figures – the focus is on the insights.” (I added that last bit due to a couple of denied generations)

Hotelier Inspiration: Use for internal comms to reframe leadership or wellness talks into quick, memorable visuals.

5. Visualise Cities in 3D Miniature

Prompt (inspired by Pavol Rusnak): “Isometric 3D miniature of Dubai. Stylized PBR textures, iconic landmarks, and atmospheric lighting reflecting current real-time weather. Clean, solid background. Top-center overlay: Bold ‘DUBAI’, weather icon, date (small), and temperature (medium).”

Hotelier Inspiration: Use similar prompts to visualise your own property’s location for guest arrivals, maps, or social teasers.

6. Build a Cinematic Moodboard From One Image

Prompt (inspired by TechHalla): “Create a photorealistic 3×3 cinematic contact sheet based on the input image. Maintain strict consistency of the subject(s), clothing, vehicle, and environment across all 9 panels…”

Hotelier Inspiration: Turn hero shots of your lobby, bar, or rooms into cinematic stills to anchor seasonal campaigns or brand shoots. Always ensure you tag modified images though, and ensure they represent reality.

7. Generate Product Content for Social Media

Prompt (inspired by Gizem Akdag): “3×3 Instagram grid layout. Product: ‘PRISMA’ can. Aesthetic: Dark, glossy, neon, condensation. Scenes: Urban nightlife, misty forest, wildlife, snowy mountains…”

Hotelier Inspiration: Use this to generate assets for your signature cocktail, spa product line, or room amenities.

8. Make Playful Movie Posters

Prompt: “Reimagine the movie ‘Her’ with the attached character as the lead star and create a Movie Poster.”

Hotelier Inspiration: Fun way to engage staff and guests by turning team members or signature experiences into playful, movie-style posters.

Responsible Use Reminder: Nano Banana Pro is powerful, but it’s still your responsibility to use it ethically:

• Don’t misrepresent real people, places, or events. Avoid deceptive edits or fake scenes.
• Respect copyright. Don’t use protected materials without rights or proper attribution.
• Check tool and output licensing if using generated visuals in commercial campaigns.
• Never generate misleading health, legal, or safety content.
• Review visuals for bias, stereotyping, or inappropriate content before publishing.

A little common sense goes a long way. Use these tools to elevate truth, not blur it.
