🟥 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
⸻
