How to Generate Product Hero Images with Ottermind: Prompts and Revisions
Before generating an image, describe where it will be used. Ottermind can help you create website hero visuals, social graphics, or story scenes, then revise composition, lighting, and detail. This tutorial starts with a single product hero image and shows how to expand a confirmed direction into a coordinated set.
Define the image's job
A useful brief covers purpose, subject, background, aspect ratio, space for text, and style. For a website hero, plan room for headings and buttons before decorative detail.
1. Specify use and composition
Website headers need text space, social images need safe cropping, and story scenes need continuity. Decide the purpose first, then the subject, background, format, and mood.
Attach product photos or references when useful. Explain which details must remain and which images are only style references.
2. Write a concrete prompt
Generate a website hero image for a time-management app. Show a tidy desk with a notebook and scheduling elements. Keep the mood calm and soft. Leave the left side clear for a title and button, with the main objects on the right. Do not generate text or logos. Produce one direction for review.Specify the desired ratio or dimensions if needed, then check the actual output size.
3. Revise one issue at a time
First check whether the subject and composition fit the intended placement. Then adjust details:
Keep the subject and overall palette. Increase the empty space on the left, simplify background decoration, and soften the light.Focused changes make comparisons easier. Changing the subject, style, angle, and palette together makes it difficult to know what improved the result.
4. Build a coordinated image set
Approve one reference direction before requesting more scenes. Specify recurring features such as appearance, product shape, palette, and lighting direction.
Use the approved image as a visual reference for two additional scenes. Keep the subject's appearance and palette; change only the action and setting. Generate them separately so I can review each one.Compare people, clothing, and product details manually. Correct inconsistencies rather than assuming every image will match automatically.
5. Inspect the final placement
Place the hero in the page layout. Check text readability and mobile cropping. Arrange a series in its intended order to judge color and rhythm. An attractive image is only the starting point: the final version needs to work in its actual page or story.
