Process

Step 1: Collect Product Information

1. Product image: Path to file, URL, or text description
2. Product description: What is it? Key features?
3. Styles to generate: Studio, Floating, Ingredient, In Use, Lifestyle (default: all 5)
4. Target platforms: Determines output sizes (default: Meta + TikTok = 1:1 + 9:16)

Step 2: Load Brand Profile (Optional)

Check for brand-profile.json — if found, inject:

• colors.primary into backgrounds and accents
• aesthetic.mood_keywords as atmosphere descriptors
• target_audience for Lifestyle and In Use context
• imagery.forbidden exclusions into all prompts

Step 3: Generate per Style

Style 1: Studio

Clean, e-commerce product shot. White seamless background, even studio lighting.

• Output: 1080x1080, 1080x1920

Style 2: Floating

Dramatic levitation effect with gradient background.

• Output: 1080x1080, 1080x1920

Style 3: Ingredient

Flat lay with components/materials artfully arranged. Top-down view.

• Output: 1080x1080 (optimal for this style)

Style 4: In Use

Authentic usage context. Hands using product, shallow depth of field. Hands only — no full face (avoids model release complications).

• Output: 1080x1080, 1080x1920

Style 5: Lifestyle

Aspirational full-context shot. Environmental context with product as hero.

• Output: 1080x1080, 1080x1920
