Art idea questions

Describe the medium, subject, mood, composition, palette, constraints, audience, and intended output. Ask for several meaningfully different directions and explain what should remain consistent.
Use generic visual attributes such as era, line weight, geometry, texture, palette, or lighting. Avoid requesting a copy of a living artist or studio style and develop a distinct direction from permission-safe references.
A useful brief connects the idea to your constraints and evaluation criteria. Generated suggestions can still be generic, so select and develop them through sketches, research, and human judgment.
You can ask for either a written concept or an image direction when the selected workflow supports it. Check the current workspace and review every output for consistency and rights.
An abstract idea may not be protected in the same way as a finished work, but the prompt, references, output, characters, logos, and likenesses can create rights issues. Check the current terms and the specific material before use.
