Posters and text
create text-forward graphics and layouts
Before you start
- Exact wording and a layout brief.
- The required output shape and any authorized artwork.
How to use this workflow
Step 1
State the required text explicitly and describe where it belongs in the composition.
Step 2
Choose a model suitable for text-forward images and generate a first layout.
Step 3
Proofread every word at full size. Use image editing to correct isolated text or layout details.
What to check
Do not assume generated lettering is accurate, even when the overall composition looks finished.
Prepare the inputs
- Write the exact final wording, including punctuation, line breaks where needed, names and dates. Keep a copy for proofreading.
- Specify the final shape and hierarchy: headline, supporting text, artwork and clear space. Use only artwork and brand references you may publish.
Choose the right controls
Check the model guide for text-oriented image creation and available output controls. Describe placement and hierarchy separately from the literal text. Start with the most important short text rather than a dense page of small lettering.
Troubleshoot the result
Letters or punctuation are wrong
Use Add or change text for a focused correction with the exact replacement wording. Proofread every line again after the edit; correcting one word can disturb another.
The layout is unreadable at the destination
Check the result at the actual display size. Simplify the hierarchy or adapt the canvas with Resize; generated decorative detail is not a substitute for readable text.
Continue with an approved result
Approve the text before upscaling or making placement variants. Recheck wording and crop in every exported image, including dates, offer conditions and small brand marks.
