Keep the Subject Through the Revisions

A campaign image rarely ends with its first render. You may need a different background, a tighter crop or a new colourway. Keep a clear reference and change one decision at a time, then review the subject before making the next change.

Concept illustration: A fictional cobalt glass skincare bottle appears in three coherent editorial still-life photographs as a physical print sequence on a pale table: pale blue studio, cream plaster studio, oak shelf; bot

Key Features of Nano Banana 2.1

Concept illustration: A cobalt bottle on limestone with a pale blue wall, single controlled key light from right, clean product silhouette and realistic glass reflections

A Clearer Brief for Image Generation

Describe the subject, materials, setting and light. Use specific nouns so a revision can refer back to the same scene.

Concept illustration: A product poster concept with a cobalt bottle at lower right and generous entirely empty pale blue headline area at upper left; do not render text

Text as Part of the Composition

Google reports improved text rendering. Put the exact short wording in quotation marks and check every character before using the result.

Concept illustration: A flat lay reference set: photo print of a green ceramic teapot, cream linen swatch, oak material sample and breakfast-room photograph, no UI or writing

References With Separate Roles

Tell the model which image supplies the product and which supplies the setting. Mixed references need clear instructions.

Concept illustration: Three photographs of the same fictional woman with short curly dark hair and ochre jacket, in a studio, cafe and courtyard, consistent recognisable face, natural editorial portraiture; no text

A Subject You Can Follow Across Edits

Google reports better consistency over multiple turns. Review the face or product after each change; do not assume every detail survived.

Concept illustration: Wide panoramic editorial photograph of an airy cream art studio with one cobalt bottle on a shelf at right and generous calm wall at left, uninterrupted perspective, no visible seams

Wide Compositions for Campaign Work

Google documents fixes to tiling artifacts in panoramic output. Use a wide brief to plan placement, then check the size offered in Virse.

Concept illustration: Macro of cobalt glass bottle showing realistic rim, softly frosted blank label and clean material transition, no letters or symbols

One Brief at Several Sizes

Settle the idea before requesting a larger render. Compare detail at the destination's display size rather than judging only the full canvas.
