AI Image Creation


An agency can leverage AI image creation tools to streamline the process of creating visual content for marketing and advertising campaigns. AI image creation tools use algorithms to analyze input data and generate images that are customized to meet specific criteria, such as image size, color palette, and subject matter.

One way an agency can use AI image creation tools is to create customized images for social media posts, ads, and other marketing materials. With AI, an agency can create a large number of variations of an image in a short period of time, allowing for rapid A/B testing and optimization.

These images are produced to convey a story. The technique is referred to as a storyboard. A series of sketches that help clients understand the creative thinking of an agency or creative professional. These images were developed by AI image creation software with prompts or instructions by the user.

Another way an agency can leverage AI image creation tools is to generate visuals that are difficult or time-consuming to create manually. For example, an agency can use AI to create complex infographics or 3D product renderings that would typically require specialized software and design expertise.

AI image creation tools can also be used to enhance existing visual content. For example, an agency can use AI to automatically remove the background from a product image, or to apply filters and effects to enhance the overall look and feel of an image.

Ultimately, the use of AI image creation tools can help an agency to increase efficiency and productivity, while also improving the quality and impact of visual content in marketing and advertising campaigns.

Image Consistency


Effective prompts are key to outputting consistent and high-quality images using AI. A prompt is essentially a set of instructions given to the AI model that guides it in generating an image that meets a certain set of criteria. The quality of the prompt determines the quality of the generated image.

Storyboards are a crucial tool in the creative process of any agency. They are visual representations of a script or idea that help communicate the intended story, message, or concept to the team, stakeholders, and clients. Storyboards are typically used in film, animation, advertising, and marketing, but can be applied to any creative project that requires a sequential visual narrative. They allow for the exploration of different ideas, perspectives, and visual styles, as well as the identification and resolution of potential issues before production. Storyboards are essential in ensuring that everyone involved in a project understands the vision, and that the final product meets the desired outcome.

To create an effective prompt, a person needs to have a good understanding of the AI model they are using and the parameters that it uses to generate images. For example, in the case of generative adversarial networks (GANs), prompts typically consist of a combination of a text description and a random noise vector. The text description provides the AI model with information about the desired image, such as the subject matter, composition, and style. The noise vector provides a degree of randomness and variation to the generated image.

A person can consistently output the same images with slight variations using AI by using a well-designed prompt and varying certain parameters within that prompt. For example, they can change the text description or noise vector to create slight variations in the generated images while still maintaining consistency in terms of overall style and composition.

In addition, a person can fine-tune the AI model to better align with their specific needs and desired output. This involves training the AI model on a specific dataset and adjusting its parameters to optimize its output for a specific task.

Overall, the knowledge behind prompting involves understanding the AI model being used, the parameters that it uses to generate images, and how to effectively design prompts that meet a specific set of criteria. With this knowledge, a person can consistently output high-quality and consistent images with slight variations using AI.

Prompting


Let's create an example where effective prompts are used by our creative agency to consistently output high-quality and engaging images using AI for their clients in the food and beverage industry, specifically consumer products and fast moving consumer goods (CPG). To generate these images, an agency needs to have a deep understanding of the AI model they are using and the parameters that it uses to create images. By using effective prompts, an agency can ensure that their AI-generated images align with their clients' brand guidelines and maintain consistency across all visual content produced.

Needs: high quaility | photo realistic | woman | consumer | shopping | grocery | food store

Note: We'll need to pick an ethnicity for consistency sake.

For example, let's say a CPG brand wants to create a series of images featuring a woman grocery shopping. The agency can use prompts to generate images with slight variations that maintain consistency in terms of the brand's visual style and message. By varying parameters such as the products the woman is holding or the background setting, the agency can create a series of images that are unique yet consistent in terms of overall style and composition.

It's important for the agency to have experience using AI for image generation and an understanding of the food and beverage industry to ensure that their AI-generated content resonates with the target audience. This can help create more engaging and personalized content that builds brand loyalty and drives conversions for the CPG brand.

AI Prompting - B Images


We've got a great start. We're going to use the Image - A3 as our selected base or seed sample for this scenario. There are common elements between all four images. For the second step, the progression of image generation is based on selecting a base/seed image that closely matches the target audience member and prompting with the right cues, variations to find the right set of images.

Conclusion


The use of AI-generated high-resolution images has revolutionized the rapid visualization process for creative agencies in the food and beverage industry, particularly for consumer products and fast moving consumer goods (CPG). By utilizing AI-generated images, agencies can streamline the process of visual content creation, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

For instance, let's say a CPG brand is launching a new product for the grocery channel and needs to create high-quality visual content to promote it. Traditionally, an agency would need to source a model, rent a location, and hire a photographer and stylist for a photoshoot. This process can be time-consuming, expensive, and can result in a longer time-to-market for the product.

By using AI-generated images, the agency can bypass these steps and generate high-quality, customized images within a matter of minutes. The AI model can be trained to create images featuring the product in various settings and scenarios, allowing the agency to rapidly visualize and iterate on different creative concepts.

This process not only saves time and reduces costs, but it also increases efficiency and can lead to better results. The agency can quickly experiment with different visual concepts, test them with the target audience, and refine them to create a more effective campaign.

Overall, the use of AI-generated high-resolution images is a game-changer for creative agencies in not just the food and beverage category but all categories. By leveraging this technology, agencies can create high-quality and engaging visual content in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods. This allows them to deliver more value to their clients, such as the CPG brand in our example, and ultimately drive better business outcomes.
