Text to Image AI: examples and practical tips

Build a visual from words alone

AI-generated watercolor concept of a fox reading by a woodland window
Illustrative concept visual created for this page; it is not a guaranteed model output.

Brief

Storybook scene

Text to image AI creates a new picture from words, making it useful for story illustrations, campaign concepts, and scenes you have not photographed. Start with a subject and setting, then explain framing, light, and style. Keep the first prompt focused so you can judge whether the composition matches your idea.

  • The medium and color contrast set the mood without relying on an uploaded source.
  • Example prompt: “Watercolor illustration of a small fox reading beside a woodland window, warm amber lamplight, blue evening outside, generous paper texture, no text.”

Optional input

Use a reference when it adds direction

A reference is optional for this workflow. Add one when it helps guide the subject, composition, or treatment. Positioning the subjects leaves useful space for a separate design layer.

  • Example prompt: “Wide landscape photo concept of a coastal hiking trail at sunrise, tiny hikers in the lower left, ocean mist, clean open sky for a title added later.”
  • A written brief is enough to create a new scene from scratch.

Settings

Choose a practical output format

Select a model and choose the available output settings for the intended placement. Use a portrait crop for a cover or a wide crop for a banner.

  • No negative-prompt or seed control is exposed in this workspace; put important constraints in the main prompt.
  • Review the available settings and credit estimate before submitting.

Review

Review the generated image

Check the subject and visual hierarchy at full size. Adjust the brief and add exact typography separately if needed. Compare the result with your brief or source before using it.

  • Text-to-image does not preserve an existing person or product unless you add a reference and switch to a reference-led workflow.
  • Change one part of the brief at a time so each new draft is easier to evaluate.

From brief to reviewed image

How to use Text to Image AI
