How it works
Narrow the brief before you generate.
Three passes from a written brief to an image you can review.
02
Set the visual hierarchy
Decide what the viewer sees first, what stays secondary, and where open space is needed.
03
Generate and review
Create an ImageMake result, then refine the subject, spacing, or lighting based on the intended format.
Creative direction
Explore another visual approach.
Each brief below is paired with the image it produced, so the structure and the result can be reviewed together.
Comparison-ready briefImageMake example
Create a clean visual concept board with one hero subject, two supporting details, short label areas, and a consistent practical art direction.
Output goal: A focused ImageMake workflow example.
Reference-led edit briefImageMake example
Keep the subject, palette, and material cues from the reference. Change only the setting and the framing, state what must stay identical, and leave clear space for a short headline.
Output goal: A controlled edit that stays recognisable as the original subject.

Fast Social Launch Visual
Build a quick social media launch visual for a sparkling citrus beverage. Highlight one cold can covered in condensation, a bright splash of citrus slices, a clean centered layout, and space for a short headline at the top. Use warm summer sunlight, bold yellow and orange accent colors, and a visual style that feels made for an Instagram announcement draft.
Grounded product refresh with current details
Adjust the reference product scene into a current-season campaign visual for a smart carry-on bag. Maintain the bag’s core silhouette and premium travel styling intact, but update the supporting scene, accessory details, and campaign framing to feel like a timely city-travel launch instead of an outdated generic lifestyle advertisement. Use natural, realistic lighting, a clean campaign layout, and a grounded urban-travel aesthetic.
Readable Cafe Menu Board
Create a premium cafe menu board installed inside a sleek, modern coffee bar. Use large, easy-to-read category headings: "Espresso", "Signature Drinks", and "Pastries". Under each heading, add two short menu items with straightforward pricing. Retain a matte black board base with warm cream-colored text, clean, generous spacing, and a layout that feels like an authentic hospitality brand instead of playful chalk art. Use soft indoor overhead lighting and a realistic, cozy cafe interior surrounding the menu board.
Fast Living Room Refresh Edit
Maintain the living room’s layout and camera angle exactly as shown in the provided reference image. Refresh the space with warm oak accents, a plush linen sofa, soft indirect afternoon lighting, and a quieter, high-end home styling direction. Create a realistic interior refresh built for a design studio presentation, not a full-scale remodel.
Editorial Fashion Shot
Generate an editorial fashion shot featuring a model in dark olive tailoring standing in a pale industrial corridor. Use soft directional lighting, understated styling, natural posture, and a premium editorial atmosphere that feels review-ready without being overly bold.
High-Resolution Fashion Campaign Frame
Create a high-resolution fashion campaign frame featuring a model in structured ivory tailoring standing in a pale stone corridor. Use soft directional lighting, calm posture, restrained luxury styling, and a polished editorial finish that feels ready for a campaign review board.
Multi-Image Sneaker Collage Concept
Build a sneaker concept collage using multiple reference images. Assign one reference to set the shoe’s silhouette, another for metallic silver material details, a third for bright cobalt accent touches, and a fourth to establish the campaign mood. Deliver the final result as a quick concept board with one hero sneaker, two supporting detail angles, and bold sportswear launch energy on a clean, neutral backdrop.
Moody streetwear portrait
Create a moody streetwear portrait of a model wearing a deep navy bomber jacket, standing beneath wet city streetlights after rain. Use medium-close framing, cool neon reflections, subtle skin texture, and a high-end editorial music campaign vibe. Keep the model’s expression calm and direct, skip overly dramatic poses.
Every image is an ImageMake workflow example produced with a model available in this workspace. They illustrate prompt structure, not the output of any other product.
