Frequently asked questions
How does a style reference treat the objects in a sample image?
It guides the look. If the composition matters too, test an image prompt separately.
Can I compare illustration styles without changing the brief?
Hold the subject and framing constant. Change one style reference at a time.
When does the editor help a poster designer?
It is useful for reframing or revising an image area before trying the layout with final copy.
What should I check before using an unreleased package design?
Confirm the workspace visibility and plan, and start with approved or fictional packaging.
What if the campaign depends on accurate lettering?
Test Ideogram for lettering concepts and set mandatory text as an editable layer.
