5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people explore visual concepts from a short description and receive a draft they can assess and refine.

  1. Understand the visual idea

    Capture the subject, setting, mood, and important details the requester wants to see.

  2. Clarify the creative description

    Turn the idea into a more specific visual brief while preserving the requester’s intent and avoiding unsupported assumptions.

  3. Prepare an image draft

    Create a preliminary visual from the approved brief and keep the brief with the result for review.

  4. Review the image for suitability

    Check for unexpected content, inaccurate depictions, privacy concerns, and any rights or representation issues.

  5. Approve any use or sharing

    Let the requester decide whether to revise, keep, or discard the draft; confirm the exact image, audience, and message before sharing it.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A generated image and the creative description used to prepare it, ready for the requester to inspect.

Keep in mind

Generated images can misrepresent people, resemble protected work, or include unexpected details. Avoid sensitive personal information and private likenesses unless there is clear permission, and have the requester review the full image and intended audience. Confirm rights, recipients, and any accompanying message before sharing or publishing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose who may request images

Set who can submit a creative idea and who receives the resulting draft.

Set appropriate content boundaries

Explain what subjects and likenesses require permission and what content should not be requested.

Protect briefs and generated images

Limit access to the requester and approved reviewers, and avoid keeping drafts longer than needed.

Keep distribution under creator review

Require approval of the exact image, destination, audience, and accompanying wording before any onward sharing.
