✍️ Sample Output Snippet

Based on an article about 'The Pomodoro Technique'.

Here is a list of image briefs for your article:

• Image 1: Header Image
  • Placement: At the very top of the article, above the H1 title.
  • Image Concept: A clean, modern graphic featuring a stylized tomato-shaped timer. The timer should be the central focus, with abstract icons representing tasks (like a laptop, a book, a lightbulb) floating around it. The mood should be productive and focused.
  • Text Overlay: Master Your Time: A Guide to the Pomodoro Technique
  • Style Notes: Use a flat design style. Incorporate brand colors #4A90E2 for the background and #F5A623 for the tomato timer.
• Image 2: Infographic - The 5 Steps
  • Placement: Immediately after the paragraph introducing the five steps of the technique.
  • Image Concept: A simple vertical infographic with 5 numbered steps. Each step should have a simple icon: 1. A to-do list, 2. A tomato timer set to "25", 3. A checkmark, 4. A coffee cup icon with "5 min", 5. A repeating arrow icon.
  • Text Overlay: Minimal text, just the numbers and maybe a short label for each step.
  • Style Notes: Keep the icons simple and in the flat design style. Use brand colors to highlight the numbers or icons.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• For ARTICLE_TEXT, provide the final or near-final version of your text so the AI can suggest visuals in the correct, most impactful locations.
• Be as descriptive as possible in IMAGE_STYLE. Instead of "modern," try "modern flat design with isometric illustrations" for a clearer direction.
• If you provide BRAND_COLORS, the AI will instruct the designer on how to incorporate them, leading to more on-brand visuals.
• Before sending the brief to your designer, review it and add any personal notes or specific examples you have in mind.
