Workflow

Build, generate, then review

01

Write one complete brief

Add the title, genre, premise, audience mood, and the single character, object, or image viewers should remember.

02

Choose the campaign format

Set theatrical, festival, social portrait, story, or streaming proportions before generation so the composition fits its real destination.

03

Generate and proof

Compare visual directions, then verify title spelling, names, likeness rights, billing details, safe areas, crop, and print resolution.

Art direction

What to refine after the first draft

One memorable visual promise

Direct the poster around a single focal subject and genre signal instead of asking the image to summarize the whole plot.

Campaign-aware composition

Choose the crop first and reserve usable space for title, tagline, credits, release details, and platform-safe margins.

Human production review

Treat generated typography and credits as draft material. Proof every word and replace production-critical text before release.

FAQ

Practical questions

Can I upload actor or character references?

Use references only when you have permission. Keep the prompt focused on wardrobe, pose, lighting, and composition, and verify likeness rights before publishing the poster.

Is generated poster text ready to publish?

Not automatically. Review the title, tagline, names, credits, dates, and legal lines. For production work, add final typography in a design tool after the image direction is approved.

Which format should I generate first?

Start with the primary campaign destination: 2:3 for a theatrical one-sheet, 4:5 for social feeds, 9:16 for stories, or 16:9 for streaming and presentation covers.

Are generated movie posters ready for commercial printing?

Use the output as a draft. Confirm image rights, likeness permissions, crop, bleed, color, typography, and final resolution with the printer or distribution platform.

Take the strongest direction into production

Generate several directions, choose the one with the clearest visual promise, then proof the details before publishing or printing.
