Start with where the image will appear
A vertical portrait, a wide header, and a square product tile have different framing needs. Pick the destination first, then decide whether the important subject can fit comfortably inside that shape.
Think about space around the subject
Wide compositions can leave room for a headline or show a broader environment. Tall compositions give a standing subject more room. Square frames can feel balanced for a single centered object, but may crop wider scenes.
Try this: rewrite the brief using details that a viewer could point to in the image.
Plan for crops and safe areas
Social platforms and responsive layouts may crop images differently across devices. Keep faces, product edges, and key text away from the extreme borders. If the same image needs several placements, plan a flexible composition before generation.
Use a small test before producing a set
Draft one representative image at the intended ratio and inspect it at thumbnail size. Check whether the focal point remains clear and whether the frame leaves room for your surrounding interface.
