CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Explore visual options while keeping source rights, likenesses, and final use in view.

For work involving approved reference images, proposed visual variations, and private reviewer feedback, confirm permission and check the facts before taking the next step. Prepare alternate image concepts from references the requester is authorized to use. References may be protected or depict people without permission, and edits can change product or event details. Clear source and likeness rights, label material alterations where needed, restrict drafts, and require the creative owner to approve the exact image and destination before sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document rights, consent, and attribution

Track licenses, subject permissions, commercial scope, and approved destinations.

Set labeling expectations

Decide when fictional, altered, or illustrative media needs a clear audience-facing label.

Restrict access and retention

Keep originals and drafts private and remove unnecessary copies when their purpose ends.

Keep release under human control

Require a named owner to approve each asset, caption, audience, and destination.

Keep exploring

Review campaign image drafts

Prepare campaign visuals without exposing private records or depicting an unapproved product claim. Check evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review short-form motion videos

Make a compelling short video without presenting an invented scene as real footage. Check evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review product-ad video concepts

Show a product attractively without promising a feature or result it does not have. Check evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
