Why this scenario is distinct

Starts from an editorial brief rather than a generic image prompt.

Includes accuracy and alt-text review so the image supports the article truthfully.

Connects visual generation with copy refinement for publishing workflows.

Example workflow

An editor turns an SEO article outline into a clean visual brief, generates a cover image, and adjusts alt text to match the final headline.

Limits and Review

Do not imply facts, statistics, or product results that the article does not support.

Check generated text and visual details before using the image in search or social previews.

FAQ

Can the image include article claims?

Only if the article supports them. Avoid visual or text claims that exaggerate the content.

Why write a brief first?

A brief keeps the image tied to the article's actual intent instead of a generic decorative prompt.
