Modifiers referencing specific artists or photographers serve as invaluable tools in the design realm. They allow designers to channel a particular artist's style, infusing their unique flair into designs. For instance, if you aim for a dark, whimsical touch, you might invoke "Horror by Tim Burton."

Perhaps you're seeking the refined simplicity and elegance found in Ruth Bernhard's monochromatic photographs — mentioning her name can help capture that essence. Or maybe you want to embody the boldness and rebellion palpable in Frida Kahlo's art. By referencing artists directly in prompts to AI tools, you can effectively communicate the desired mood, style, and technique. For a richer palette of artist references, explore platforms like Google Arts & Culture.
