01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A request with an available image and the wording intended to appear on it

“Place the supplied text on the intended image, then prepare the result for visual and content review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team turn an image and confirmed wording into a visual asset that is easier to review and use.

  1. Confirm the image and its purpose

    Check that the selected image is the right one for the intended audience and use.

  2. Verify the exact wording

    Have the requester confirm spelling, names, dates, and any claims before adding text to the visual.

  3. Prepare a readable layout

    Place the text where it can be read without obscuring important parts of the image.

  4. Review the finished image

    Inspect the complete visual for clipping, contrast, legibility, and unintended changes.

  5. Approve use or sharing separately

    Require a person to check image rights, audience, and destination before sharing or publishing the asset.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A labeled image ready for a person to approve, or a held draft when the wording, image, or layout is unclear.

The handoff

A labeled image ready for a person to approve, or a held draft when the wording, image, or layout is unclear.

Keep in mind

Check that the image is appropriate, the wording is accurate, and the final text is readable. A person must approve the exact asset before it is shared or published outside the team.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose image sources and allowed uses

Define which images may be used and who confirms that the team has permission for the intended purpose.

Set text and layout expectations

Agree which wording is required and what makes the finished image legible and on brand.

Assign a visual reviewer

Name who verifies the final image and who can approve sharing it outside the team.

Check varied image and text examples

Review different image sizes and text lengths to catch unreadable or poorly placed wording.

Keep exploring

Review images before sharing

Prepare smaller image files and shareable references for web work, with a person checking rights, contents, and audience before images become publicly accessible.

Prepare reviewed image enhancements

Improve image clarity, size, or presentation for a chosen purpose while keeping external processing and release under human approval.
