contents We present an account of an ongoing practice-based Design Research programme that explores the interaction affordances of real-time AI image generators. Based on our experiences from three installations, we reflect on the design of PromptJ, a user interface built around the concept of a prompt mixer. Our first contribution is a series of strong concepts based on our reflections of designing and deploying PromptJ. We cohere and abstract our strong concepts into the notion of Holistic Prompt Craft, which describes the importance of considering all relevant parameters concurrently. Finally, we present PromptTank, a prototype design which exemplifies the principles of Holistic Prompt Craft. Our contributions are articulated as strong concepts or intermediate knowledge that are intended to inform and inspire practitioners and researchers who are designing with image generation models or developing novel interaction paradigms for generative AI systems more generally.
