Got a brand brief that wanted visual punch and a clean look, so I went the high-end ad illustration route. Vibrant color, soft studio light, super minimal composition — not much in frame, but every single piece has to be dialed in. The simpler it is, the harder it gets.
Fleshed out the prompt, wrote the lighting and color grading in more detail:
High-end advertising illustration, vibrant premium color palette with bold accent tones, clean minimalist composition, soft studio lighting with gentle gradients, modern commercial style, extremely refined, minimal yet impactful, strong focal point, subtle reflections, brand-focused visual, high detail on the hero element, airy negative space
For more punch, push a strong contrast between the subject and background and leave everything else as negative space.
