Six ways to frame a brief
Borrow a direction, write your own scene
These illustrations are visual references. The editable briefs below explore similar themes; they are not records of how these images were generated or promises of matching results.
A portrait with a color rule
Name the dominant color, then describe what should contrast with it. Leave room for copy if the portrait is intended for a cover.
Read the starting brief
A cover photograph for an independent bookshop newsletter: an adult reader waits outside a closed shop after the rain, holding a paperback against a forest-green coat. Frame the person on the right, from the waist up. Warm light from the window should separate the face from the cool pavement. Leave the left third quiet for a headline to be added later. Show believable fabric and skin; exclude signs, logos and lettering.
One product, fewer distractions
Decide which material matters most. Describe the light on the glass before adding props that compete with the bottle.
Read the starting brief
Prepare a square product image for an unbranded refillable hand-soap bottle made of amber glass. Place it on a matte off-white shelf with one folded linen cloth behind it. The bottle is the only focal point, fully visible with space above the pump. Use a broad window reflection to describe the glass, with soft shadows and no dramatic glow. Keep the background pale and do not invent a label.
A headline that leads the layout
Keep the message short and specify its position. Check the generated lettering before using the image in an announcement.
Read the starting brief
An A3-style community art-night poster with the exact headline "OPEN STUDIO" on two lines in the upper half. Use dark plum lettering on a warm apricot background. A single oversized paper-cut circle overlaps a small rectangle below the headline. Keep the letterforms simple, the margins wide and the lower quarter blank for event details to be added separately. Include no dates, brands or additional words.
A place built from materials
Start with the viewpoint and the site. Add a small set of materials so the architecture has a coherent visual direction.
Read the starting brief
Visualize a small reading pavilion beside a tidal marsh, viewed at eye level from a timber boardwalk. Use pale brick walls, a shallow zinc roof and tall narrow windows. Two benches face the water beneath a covered porch. Show overcast morning light, reeds and a wet path, with a single person for scale. Prioritize a believable relationship between the entrance, path and shoreline rather than decorative complexity.
A character seen from several angles
List the details that identify the character. Compare those details between views before treating the sheet as a design reference.
Read the starting brief
Draw a design sheet for a small courier robot with a terracotta cylindrical body, one rectangular cream face panel, two dark wheels and an olive canvas satchel. Arrange a front view, a side view and a rear view in three separate columns on a plain white background. Keep the satchel attached on the same side in every view. Use flat studio light so the shapes are easy to compare. No captions or accessories beyond those listed.
Space for a campaign message
Choose where the product sits and where the copy will go. Ask for an uncluttered area instead of filling every corner.
Read the starting brief
Create a vertical summer-drink ad layout for an unbranded clear bottle of peach iced tea. Place the bottle in the lower right on a pale sand-colored surface, with two peach slices near its base. A soft leaf shadow crosses the surface but not the bottle. Leave the upper left half empty for copy. Use natural afternoon light and small realistic condensation droplets. No splashes, floating objects, labels or text.
Before you press Generate
Four decisions that make a brief easier to follow
A useful prompt gives the image a job. Work through these choices before adding more descriptive words.
Pick a subject and a purpose
Say what the viewer should notice first and where the image will appear. A product listing, a cover and a background need different compositions.
Give each reference a role
In Image to Image, explain which upload supplies the subject, which suggests the palette and what may change. Conflicting references can make the result harder to direct.
Reserve space before adding copy
Choose the canvas around the intended layout. Ask for clear space on a named side; add final logos and important text in your design editor when precision matters.
Revise one visible detail
After reviewing a result, reuse it as a reference and change one instruction, such as the background or light. Inspect the new image for unintended changes.
From brief to review
Your first Nano Banana 2.5 image, in three steps
Start with a small, specific task so you can judge whether the image does what you asked.
Write the non-negotiables
Name the subject, its placement and the light. For an existing image, switch to Image to Image and upload the references you want to use.
Set the canvas and check the cost
Choose the aspect ratio and either 1K or 2K. Read the credit amount on Generate after changing settings, then sign in to submit.
Review before downloading
Inspect edges, faces, product details and any lettering. Download a useful result, or use it as a reference for a separate generation with a revised brief.
