IMAGE CREATION AND REVIEW · Workflow idea

Explore visual ideas and let an editor choose what is ready to use.

Use a written brief to prepare original image options, make selected variations, and keep the chosen drafts with their creative notes. An editor checks the result for accuracy, brand fit, likeness concerns, and usage rights, then approves the exact image and destination before it is added to shared materials or published.

Keep in mind

An image may contain inaccurate details, resemble a real person or protected work, or be unsuitable for the intended audience. Keep drafts private, check the source brief and rights, and require an authorized editor to approve the exact image, caption, audience, and destination before it is shared externally or used in public material.
