Prompt Images and Review Style References
Translate the brief into comparable image prompts, use permitted style references, and select candidates for message, composition, and consistency.
Today's Goals
- Write prompts with subject, setting, composition, and constraints
- Distinguish a style reference from a composition reference
- Compare candidates with a scorecard rather than taste alone
Plain-Language Walkthrough
A prompt is a testable proposal
D1 gave HL-26 a bounded job: evoke neighbors making art together in deep teal, warm coral, cream, and paper-craft forms, without unverified event facts or unapproved people. D2 turns that brief into candidate images. It does not treat “beautiful” as a pass condition. A useful prompt names the subject, action, setting, composition, light or texture, reserved text region, and exclusions. The exclusions are about what the reviewer will reject, not a promise that a model can reliably avoid every failure. A prompt log records the exact wording and observable settings so a colleague can understand why one candidate was preferred.
Begin with the intended square tile. One possible prompt describes empty art tables with folded paper shapes, soft afternoon light, deep-teal surfaces, warm-coral accents, and a cream blank region on the right for human-set type. It asks for no readable lettering, logos, or identifiable faces. That is more inspectable than “make a vibrant festival poster.” The latter invites invented event words and uncontrolled visual motifs. It also fails to tell the team where final copy belongs. A second prompt might keep the same palette and subject but move the blank area to the top. Comparing those two versions can teach whether the space works for the planned layout.
Do not mistake a natural-language constraint for enforcement. If a generated image includes a sign, face, or implausible hand, record it as a failure and decline that candidate. If the result invents “Harbor Lantern 2026” inside the picture, do not call the lettering harmless because the event is fictional. The training lesson is that final facts must come from a verified facts sheet and an editable human layout. The model’s image is a candidate visual layer, not the campaign’s source of truth.
