The quick read
- Create a core layout, then adapt it for the formats you need.
- Inspect text, dates, contrast and crops at the size people will actually see.
Define the campaign
Write the audience, offer and intended action before generating assets. Choose a small set of brand colours, type styles and image principles. The campaign should remain recognisable when its dimensions change.
Build from one approved idea
Create a core layout, then adapt it for the formats you need. For an illustrative event campaign, keep the event name, date and call to action consistent while adjusting emphasis for a poster or social card. Review generated imagery for relevance to the message.
Check the final files
Inspect text, dates, contrast and crops at the size people will actually see. Confirm that the selected assets and current product terms support your intended use. Do not let a visually attractive variation introduce a new promise or inconsistent detail. AI can make production faster, but consistency comes from the system you establish. A useful campaign family communicates one idea clearly across placements, with enough variation to fit each format.
