The quick read
- Save the brief, relevant settings and a note explaining why a result works or fails.
- Inspect images at their final display size and check consistency across the set.
Create a compact brief
Identify the subject, visual style, palette and intended placement. For a series of educational covers, define the complexity level and the kind of metaphor that fits the audience. Avoid changing every variable at once.
Keep a decision record
Save the brief, relevant settings and a note explaining why a result works or fails. Compare variations on one meaningful dimension, such as composition or lighting. This makes iteration purposeful rather than an endless search for something vaguely better.
Review the output family
Inspect images at their final display size and check consistency across the set. Ensure that each scene communicates its own topic. Verify current model options, editing capabilities and usage terms in Leonardo’s product materials. A attractive single image does not establish a complete art direction. The useful workflow produces assets that belong together, remain distinct and can be revised because the choices behind them are recorded clearly.
