Banners have limited space, so the visual hierarchy must be deliberate. AI can help generate background concepts, compositions and campaign variations, but the final banner still needs a clear message and usable text area.
Start with the destination dimensions and message before creating the scene.
Define the Destination
Identify website hero, category banner, display ad or social placement.
Choose the Message
Write the core message before designing the visual.
Create the Product Composition
Position the product where it remains prominent.
Reserve Negative Space
Leave room for headline and call-to-action elements.
Generate the Environment
Use AI or photography to build a scene consistent with the campaign.
Check Responsive Cropping
Important content should survive likely crops.
Export
Create appropriately sized and compressed assets.
Accessibility
Keep text readable and provide meaningful alternative text when the banner is informative.
