Studio Inspiration

Overview

Inspiration helps you explore visual direction before committing to a prompt. Browse or search reference images, then remix a strong reference into Studio as an image attachment.

This is useful when the user knows the desired feeling but not the exact visual language.

When To Use Inspiration

  • You need a mood board before generating final work.
  • A client asks for a style but the prompt is too vague.
  • You want to compare multiple visual directions.
  • You need a reference for layout, color, or composition.
  • You want to turn a template-like idea into a new Studio session.
  1. Open Inspiration from the Studio sidebar.
  2. Search or browse by category.
  3. Select a reference that matches the direction.
  4. Remix it into Studio.
  5. Choose the right reference mode: Style for visual feel, Layout for composition, or Auto if you want Studio to decide.
  6. Add your own prompt so the final output is not just a copy of the reference.

Best Practices

  • Use inspiration as direction, not as a replacement for a brief.
  • Combine one reference with clear text instructions.
  • Avoid mixing unrelated styles in one request.
  • Review generated outputs for originality and brand fit.
