IMAGE CREATION AND REVIEW · Workflow idea

Explore an image idea while keeping the final choice with your team.

Start with a written visual brief and prepare an image draft for a creator to inspect. Keep estimated and actual creation costs visible, check the result for fit and unintended details, and require approval of the image and exact shared destination before saving it for broader use.
