1. Define the job
Write down where the image will be used, what viewers should notice first, and which constraints are non-negotiable. A social crop, product concept, and editorial illustration require different decisions.
2. Describe visible choices
Specify the subject, environment, composition, lighting, material, color direction, and mood. Prefer observable language such as “eye-level product photograph with soft side light” over vague praise such as “make it amazing.”
3. Add a reference only when it helps
A reference can anchor composition, identity, or visual language. Use only images you have the right to submit, avoid unnecessary personal data, and understand how the selected provider processes inputs before uploading.
4. Review the whole result
Check prompt adherence, anatomy and geometry, text accuracy, unwanted marks, brand conflicts, likeness and privacy risks, and whether the output works at its final crop.
5. Change one variable at a time
Preserve the strongest parts of the brief and adjust the largest failure. Controlled iteration makes it easier to learn what caused an improvement.
