1. Write the creative contract
Define audience, channel, offer, dimensions, brand rules, required copy, prohibited claims, and delivery formats.
2. Prepare source truth
Collect approved product photos, logos, fonts, colors, claims, people, and usage rights. Mark which assets may not be altered.
3. Compare image directions
Use AI Playground to test the same brief across appropriate models. Judge composition, text, product fidelity, and editability—not novelty alone.
4. Lock a visual system
Approve hero frame, detail crop, background, palette, lighting, typography, and negative constraints. Save them as reusable references.
5. Build the Flow
Connect prompt, reference, generation, edit, resize, localization, and export steps. Name nodes by job so teammates understand the pipeline.
6. Add motion deliberately
Animate an approved still or generate a short shot. Specify subject motion, camera movement, duration, aspect ratio, and what must remain fixed.
7. Review and finish
Check logos, copy, anatomy, object permanence, captions, audio rights, safe zones, and export resolution in the editor.
8. Scale measured variants
Change one major variable at a time, record credit and review cost, and keep only versions tied to a clear hypothesis.
