How to use AI for marketing images and design

The short answer

Image generators are useful for quickly producing visual concepts, backgrounds, mockups before a shoot, and improved product photos. But don't use them to show your product differently from reality, keep your brand's colors and typefaces, and watch usage rights and images of people.

Useful applications

  • Visualizing an ad concept before shooting.
  • Backgrounds for real product photos.
  • Removing backgrounds and fixing lighting.
  • Illustrations for articles and presentations.

Write a clear description

Specify subject, style, lighting, colors, angle, and format. Example: “A wooden table in a café in warm morning light, orange and brown tones, top-down angle, empty space for text, vertical format.”

Important limits

  • Don’t change how the product looks or performs; that misleads customers.
  • Avoid generating images resembling real people or other brands.
  • Check the tool’s commercial-use terms.
  • Make the output match your visual identity.
