📋 Phase 1: Planning & Concept Development

Successful AI art creation starts with clear planning. Define your goals, gather references, and establish success criteria before generating your first image.

1. Define Your Project Goals

• Purpose: What will this image be used for? (social media, print, web, presentation)
• Audience: Who is the target audience? (professional, casual, specific demographic)
• Format: What dimensions and resolution do you need?
• Timeline: When do you need the final result?

2. Gather Visual References

• Collect 3-5 reference images that capture the mood, style, or composition you want
• Note specific elements: colors, lighting, composition, style, mood
• Create a mood board or reference collection
• Identify key visual elements that must be included

3. Choose Your Style Direction

• Review the Styles & Modes Guide for options
• Consider your brand guidelines or project requirements
• Test style compatibility with your concept
• Plan for potential style mixing if needed

Planning Checklist:

Before You Start:

☐ Project goals defined
☐ Reference images collected
☐ Style direction chosen
☐ Success criteria established

Technical Requirements:

☐ Output dimensions decided
☐ Quality requirements set
☐ File format determined
☐ Delivery timeline confirmed

✍️ Phase 2: Strategic Prompt Crafting

Effective prompting is both art and science. Follow this structured approach to create prompts that consistently deliver high-quality results.

The LOVART Prompt Formula

[SUBJECT] + [ACTION/POSE] + [STYLE] + [LIGHTING] + [COMPOSITION] + [QUALITY]

This formula ensures you cover all essential elements for consistent, high-quality results.

Prompt Structure Best Practices

Start specific: Lead with your main subject
Add context: Include setting and environment
Specify style: Be clear about artistic direction
Control quality: Add technical specifications
End with modifiers: Fine-tune with additional details

Common Prompt Mistakes

Too vague: "nice logo" → "minimal geometric logo"
Contradictory: "realistic anime" → choose one style
Over-complex: Keep prompts under 100 words
Missing context: Always include setting/environment
No quality control: Add "high quality, detailed"

Example: Progressive Prompt Development

❌ Weak:"coffee shop logo"

⚠️ Better:"minimal coffee shop logo, brown colors"

✅ Excellent:

"minimal logo for 'Brew & Bean' coffee shop, geometric coffee cup icon, warm brown and cream colors, clean typography, vector style, professional branding"

🎯 Phase 3: Smart Generation Strategy

Maximize your generation credits and time with strategic approaches to creating and refining your images.

The 3-Round Strategy

Round 1: Exploration

Generate 3-4 different style variations to explore possibilities

Round 2: Refinement

Choose best direction, refine prompt, generate variations

Round 3: Perfection

Fine-tune details, optimize quality, create final versions

Iteration Techniques

Seed Control: Use same seed for consistent variations
Prompt Variations: Change one element at a time
Style Mixing: Combine successful elements
Parameter Tuning: Adjust aspect ratio, quality settings
Reference Images: Use your best results as references

Generation Efficiency Tips

Save Credits:

• Start with lower quality for exploration
• Use variations instead of new generations
• Test prompts on simple subjects first
• Batch similar requests together

Save Time:

• Keep a prompt library for reuse
• Use templates for common projects
• Learn keyboard shortcuts
• Organize your generation history

🔧 Phase 4: Quality Optimization & Refinement

Transform good results into exceptional ones with advanced optimization techniques and quality enhancement strategies.

Image Enhancement Techniques

Upscaling: Increase resolution for print or detailed use
Variation Generation: Create multiple versions of successful images
Prompt Refinement: Add specific quality modifiers
Style Consistency: Maintain visual coherence across series
Detail Enhancement: Focus on specific areas for improvement

Quality Control Checklist

Resolution: Meets project requirements
Composition: Balanced and visually appealing
Color Accuracy: Matches brand or mood requirements
Detail Level: Appropriate for intended use
Consistency: Aligns with project style guide

Advanced Quality Modifiers

Technical Quality:

• "high resolution"
• "ultra detailed"
• "sharp focus"
• "professional quality"

Visual Enhancement:

• "perfect lighting"
• "vibrant colors"
• "dramatic composition"
• "award winning"

Style Specific:

• "studio photography"
• "editorial style"
• "commercial grade"
• "magazine quality"

📤 Phase 5: Export & Post-Processing

Prepare your final images for delivery with proper formatting, optimization, and post-processing techniques.

Export Best Practices

Format Selection: PNG for transparency, JPG for photos, SVG for vectors
Resolution Planning: Export at highest quality, then resize as needed
Color Space: sRGB for web, Adobe RGB for print
File Naming: Use descriptive, organized naming conventions
Backup Strategy: Save originals and multiple format versions

Post-Processing Options

Basic Adjustments: Brightness, contrast, saturation fine-tuning
Background Removal: For product shots or isolated subjects
Batch Processing: Apply consistent edits across series
Format Conversion: Create multiple versions for different uses
Compression: Optimize file sizes for web delivery

Delivery Checklist

File Preparation:

☐ Correct dimensions and resolution
☐ Appropriate file format
☐ Optimized file size
☐ Descriptive file names

Quality Assurance:

☐ Final quality review
☐ Color accuracy check
☐ Cross-platform compatibility
☐ Backup copies created
