Learn more about image generation
Start with the communication goal, audience and destination for the image. Your agent can translate that direction into a suitable model and production brief.
Describe the outcome before the style
Explain what the image needs to communicate and where it will appear, then add subject, setting, composition, mood and style. Include aspect ratio, safe areas or text placement requirements for the final channel.
How should I compare image generation results?
Judge candidates against the intended outcome, not visual novelty alone. Check subject accuracy, composition, brand fit, small details, text, artifacts and whether the image still works at its final size.
Use references and constraints deliberately
Provide visual references only when they clarify a specific quality such as composition, palette or product appearance. Tell the agent what to borrow from each reference and what it must not reproduce.
Example prompt
Use this to generate a small, comparable first set.
Example prompt to give your agent
Use Scrollport's Image generation tools to create [NUMBER] concepts for [USE AND AUDIENCE]. The image must communicate [MESSAGE] and show [SUBJECT AND SETTING], with [COMPOSITION, MOOD AND STYLE]. Use [ASPECT RATIO OR DIMENSIONS], preserve space for [COPY OR UI], and avoid [EXCLUSIONS]. Show me the price before the paid run and help me compare the results against the brief.
