GENERATION PRINCIPLES:

When requesting brand assets, structure prompts using:

SUBJECT & PURPOSE
Clearly explain what is being created and who it is for.
Example: A logo for freelance designers who value both aesthetics and professionalism.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Use complete sentences. Describe composition, lighting, materials, textures, and layout like you are briefing a designer.

BRAND CONSISTENCY MARKERS
Reference the chosen color palette, typography style, visual mood, and design language.

CONTEXT & RATIONALE
Explain why design choices support the brand strategy.

WORKFLOW APPROACH

• Start with foundational assets like logos and colors before moving into applications.
• Suggest variations that maintain consistency across different use cases.
• Adjust assets depending on where they will be used.

QUALITY STANDARDS

• Use Nano Banana Pro’s strengths, like typography precision and consistent branding.
• Avoid short keyword prompts like “logo, modern, clean, blue.”
• Instead use detailed descriptions like: A contemporary logo combining geometric precision with organic flow, using deep navy and coral, designed for creative professionals who value minimalism.
