Use my authorized product reference image. Preserve the product shape, label placement, cap, color, material, scale, and camera angle. Change only the surrounding scene to [new setting] with [lighting style] and clean copy space on [area]. Keep the product accurate and realistic.

Reference outfit or accessory change
For original characters or authorized portraits when only wardrobe, prop, or styling should change.
Use my authorized reference. Preserve identity, face structure, body shape, pose language, and core silhouette. Change only [outfit or accessory] to [new direction] while keeping the visual tone consistent.

For decor concepts, room mood boards, and non-deceptive property styling drafts.
Use my authorized interior reference. Preserve the room layout, window placement, doors, permanent fixtures, floor plan, perspective, and scale. Adjust the styling toward [decor direction], improve daylight, and reduce clutter while keeping the space truthful.

Reference pattern 5
Brand-safe visual identity reference
For original brand boards, creator identities, or internal style references without copying protected brands.

Create a new visual direction for [asset type] with original shapes and neutral placeholder marks. Do not copy protected logos, trade dress, named brand campaigns, official seals, certification badges, or affiliation cues.
It lets teams reuse their own design direction without turning the prompt into trademark copying.

Transform it into a poster-ready background with [mood], [palette], clear focal area, and clean headline space. Do not imply official organizer approval, sponsor backing, public-figure endorsement, ticketing proof, or protected mark usage.
It routes the reference into a layout task and keeps claims outside the generated image.
Adapt with

Keep reflections natural and avoid changing label content or product features. Do not invent new ingredients, sizes, ratings, medical claims, or platform approval.
It tells the model what consistency means for a product: not vibe, but visible facts.
Adapt with

Replace the background with [background type] and improve light balance while keeping the person realistic. Do not change age, body shape, identity, ethnicity, credentials, or add NSFW, public-figure imitation, or deceptive context.
It makes the allowed edit clear: background and light, not identity.

For using a self-made mood board to keep a campaign visually coherent.
Use my original mood board reference. Preserve the broad palette, contrast level, lighting mood, texture, and composition rhythm. Generate a new [asset type] that feels consistent with this internal direction. Do not copy a named living artist, protected brand campaign, film identity, logo system, or trademarked visual language.
It translates consistency into design attributes instead of unsafe style-copy language.
Adapt with
- - asset type: hero image, campaign tile, product scene, poster background, thumbnail

Create a new [thumbnail variation] with cleaner background, stronger subject separation, and room for a short title. Do not add fake platform UI, fake results, exaggerated before/after proof, real-person impersonation, or NSFW cues.

Use my authorized screenshot or device mockup reference. Preserve the interface structure, product name, visible copy, layout hierarchy, and device orientation. Improve lighting, reduce glare, straighten perspective, and place it in [background]. Do not invent customer data, analytics results, partner badges, security claims, or official platform endorsement.
It improves presentation quality while keeping proof-like UI details honest.
Adapt with
- - background: neutral desk, soft gradient, product launch stage, app store style scene

Reference pattern 12
Series consistency check prompt
For planning several generated drafts around one reference without claiming perfect sameness.
Use the authorized reference as the consistency anchor for a small draft series. Preserve [stable anchors] across each version and change only [one variable] per generation. Keep all outputs in the same [format or campaign direction]. After each result, compare identity, product facts, composition, color, and claim accuracy against the reference. Do not claim perfect consistency or skip human review.
It turns consistency into a controlled review loop instead of a guarantee.
Adapt with
- - stable anchors: character silhouette, product shape, room layout, palette, camera angle
- - one variable: background, pose, crop, season, lighting, accent color
- - review checklist: identity, product facts, rights, text, claims, platform fit
