🟥 Flat Lay Brand System Prompt
This is one of the cleanest ways to make a brand look premium without overcomplicating it. Instead of generating one random product image, you build a structured flat lay that shows the full lifestyle around a brand. It works for: • Portfolio pieces • Mock campaigns • Pitching brands • Etsy / print posters • Instagram carousels • Paid client concepts The key is structure, spacing, and color control — not chaos. Here’s the full template 👇 ⸻ TEMPLATE [BRAND NAME]. Act as a Product Photographer and Art Director specializing in editorial still life and brand identity visual systems. ⸻ PHASE 1: CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Create a curated flat lay composition that visualizes brand ubiquity through everyday objects. This is a “branded universe” – a knolling-style arrangement where [BRAND NAME] appears consistently across lifestyle objects. The image should feel like opening a collector’s essentials kit. ⸻ PHASE 2: OBJECT SELECTION Autonomously select 10–15 objects that represent [BRAND NAME]’s lifestyle ecosystem: • Mix apparel, accessories, and small everyday objects • Match objects to the brand identity • Mix large anchor items with smaller detail items • Branding must be visible but natural ⸻ PHASE 3: KNOLLING RULES • Clean grid alignment • Objects parallel or perpendicular • 2–5cm spacing between items • Even visual balance • Hero product placed in center or golden ratio • Nothing cropped ⸻ PHASE 4: COLOR CONTROL • 80% neutral base • 15–20% signature brand color • Brand color repeated across multiple objects • Mix matte and glossy textures while staying color disciplined ⸻ PHASE 5: CAMERA & LIGHTING • Perfect overhead angle • 50–80mm lens • f/8–f/11 (everything sharp) • Soft diffused light • Minimal soft shadows • Clean white or light gray background ⸻ PHASE 6: FINAL POLISH • Bright, clean color grade • Slight desaturation • Medium-low contrast • Subtle accent color boost ⸻ If you try this, post your version below.
