Complete a small visual project and leave with a reusable brief, prompt, scorecard and handoff record.
Turn a vague image idea into a brief with a placement, subject and objective review criteria.
A useful image begins with the job it must do. Placement determines shape and empty space; the subject anchors the result; must-keep and must-avoid lists create checks that do not depend on taste alone.
Instead of “make a stylish lamp image,” specify a 16:9 website hero with one orange ceramic lamp on the right, a clear headline area on the left and no people, words or logos.
Choose one real placement. Write its dimensions, subject, audience, composition, required details, flexible details and exclusions.
Turn this request into a visual brief: [request]. Return placement, aspect ratio, subject, environment, composition, lighting, palette, must keep, can vary, exclude and reviewer. Do not invent brand requirements. Mark missing decisions [NEEDS INPUT].
Translate the brief into a direct prompt without adding decorative filler.
Put the visible decisions in a stable order—subject, environment, composition, light, palette, medium and exclusions. Tool controls belong outside the descriptive core and should express a real constraint.
A prompt can specify “lamp right, low-detail wall left” because those choices serve the page layout. Adding unrelated lenses and art movements does not improve that job.
Convert your brief into one prompt. Underline every phrase that maps to a brief field and remove any phrase you cannot explain.
Write one image prompt from this visual brief: [brief]. Preserve every must-keep item. Keep flexible choices concise. Put exclusions last. Do not name a living artist or add requirements absent from the brief.
Select an image with a scorecard and learn from controlled variations.
Review the whole set against the same checks. Change one variable at a time so you can attribute improvement or regression to a specific instruction.
If the subject is correct but the copy zone is busy, simplify the background while keeping subject, camera and palette fixed.
Label your baseline A. Create B by changing one composition instruction and C by changing one lighting instruction. Score all three against the same brief.
Compare versions A, B and C against this brief: [brief]. Return a table with requirement, evidence in each version, pass/revise/reject and one next edit. Do not infer details that are not visible.
Package the selected image with enough context for editing, rights review and reuse.
A generated image is not finished because it looks good in the tool. The handoff should include the source prompt, settings, references, intended placement, known edits and a named reviewer for brand and rights.
The final folder contains the export, a text file with prompt and settings, the approved brief and a note that product details must be compared with the original reference before publication.
Document the tool and date, prompt, settings, uploaded references, edit history, selected crop, known limitations and required approvals.
Create a handoff checklist for this selected AI image: [details]. Include provenance, intended use, visual QA, accessibility, rights, brand approval and archive location. Mark unknown information [UNCONFIRMED].
Yes. All four lessons exercises and answer explanations are available on the web without an account.
No. You need a clear communication goal references you are allowed to use and criteria for checking the result.
No. Product terms and rights vary. Check the tool terms and your intended use before publishing.
