TL;DR: Google's new Nano Banana Pro (built on Gemini 3) has solved the biggest headache in AI art: Text & Layout. Unlike Midjourney or ChatGPT, it uses a Reasoning Engine to plan data placement and checks facts via Google Search before drawing. I generated 100 complex infographics (20 attached) to show just how great it is a visualizations. This post breaks down exactly how it works, why it's different, and the specific prompt structures I used to get these results.
We’ve all been there. You ask an AI for an infographic and it gives you a beautiful image full of alien gibberish text and charts that make zero mathematical sense.
Enter Nano Banana Pro
I’ve been pushing this model to its absolute limit, and I’m convinced it changes things for founders, designers, marketers, and data nerds. It doesn't just hallucinate pixels; it plans the layout and verifies data before rendering.
As a marketing leader I have had fantastic graphic designers work for me for many years but these designs from Nano Banana Pro / Gemini 3 are just much better. You can get them in 4K without the watermark on them.
I’ve attached 20 examples ranging from The Singularity Roadmap to understanding things like Music Theory, The Fabric of Reality, Food Physics, Deep Space, Quantum Computing and How F1 Cars Work... Here is how you can do this too.
Nano Banana Pro is the nickname for Google's latest image generation model built on the Gemini 3 architecture. While previous models were just diffusion models (guessing pixels), this is a Reasoning Image Engine.
Why it kills for Infographics:
- Spatial Reasoning: It simulates the logic of the scene. It understands that "1950" comes before "2024" on a timeline, or that the "crust" is above the "mantle" in a geological diagram.
- Google Search Grounding: It can pull real-time data. If you ask for a Weather Infographic, it can actually look up current weather patterns to inform the visuals (though you should always double-check the stats!).
- Native 4K Text: It renders crisp, legible text in multiple languages, even for dense labels. You can force 4K resolution by generating the images in AI studio instead of just the Gemini canvas – and no watermark on images created via AI Studio
The Reasoning Engine
When you ask for an Infographic about The Singularity standard models look at pixels of other cross-sections and guess. Nano Banana Pro appears to construct a logical skeleton of the image first using Gemini 3's reasoning capabilities. It calculates the layout, comes up with a design, checks data against google search, ensures the text fits, and then paints the pixels.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
1. The Data-First Prompt Structure Don't just say "Make an infographic about coffee." You need to feed the reasoning engine. Use this structure:
- Topic: "Infographic about [Topic]"
- Data Context: "Use real-world data for [Year] regarding [Subject]."
- Visual Style: "Isometric 3D / Vintage parchment / Clean corporate flat."
- Layout: "Use a Roadmap flow / Treemap layout / Timeline / Cross-section cutaway."
2. Use Sketch-to-Image (Multimodal Input) This is the killer feature. Draw a terrible boxy sketch on a piece of paper showing where you want the title and the charts. Upload that to Gemini with the prompt: "Turn this sketch into a high-fidelity infographic about [Topic]. Maintain this exact layout but make it look like a [Style]."
3. Aspect Ratio is King Infographics often fail because they are cramped.
- Mobile/Social: Prompt for
9:16(Vertical). Great for Roadmaps). - Desktop/Print: Prompt for
16:9(Horizontal). Great for "Timelines" or "World Maps."
4. Iterative Editing Nano Banana Pro allows for region-based editing. If one statistic is wrong:
- Highlight the text area.
- Prompt: "Change text to '50 Billion' instead of '50 Million'."
- It renders the text perfectly in the same font style without warping the rest of the image.
A Few Style Examples, but so many possibilities….
- The Roadmap (See "Singularity Roadmap"):
- Prompt Keyword: "Curved timeline, glowing nodes, progression from left to right, distinct eras."
- The Cutaway
- Prompt Keyword: "Cross-section view, underground layers, depth markers (0m to 10,000m), educational labels."
- The Treemap
- Prompt Keyword: "Bento grid layout, rectangular blocks sized by value, distinct color coding per category."
- The Dashboard
- Prompt Keyword: "HUD style, central globe, surrounding circular widgets, data streams, neon borders."
A few of my top tips after about a week of testing
- Generate in AI Studio for 4K infographics with no Gemini watermark visible
-
I often ask Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT for several options of infographic prompts to help me create the infographic prompt. You don't have to do this (and it can be fun to let Nano Banana try with a basic prompt) but but it turns out the LLMs can create really great prompts that really level up your result.
-
Some people have criticized the infographics as "too busy" and that is a matter of opinion. I have found that asking for there to be less than 400 words leads to it being more readable.
-
You can create Infographics in NotebookLM now too. And you can put in a custom prompt and choose from three levels of detail.
We are moving from Prompt & Pray to Prompt & Plan. With Gemini 3's reasoning, you can now visualize complex articles, business reports, or study notes instantly with high factual and spatial accuracy.

Some people have asked me for the 4K versions of these graphics since Reddit doesn't display the full greatness that is generated. I created a gallery page on my site you can download any of these you like. Not selling anything, just showing my work: https://thinkingdeeply.ai/gallery
The point of this post is that you can visualize just about anything with Nano Banana Pro creating an epic infographic in 30-60 seconds.
Google was undercooking it at launch and didn't tell us how to create these epic infographics. Consider this the missing manual.
