General Style Guidelines for Manager Visuals

  1. Professional but inspiring: Corporate-appropriate but not boring
  2. Presentation-ready: 16:9 aspect ratio works for slides
  3. Minimal text: AI text rendering is imperfect—design for overlay
  4. Cohesive palette: Use 2-3 main colors plus accent
  5. Clear hierarchy: Important elements should have visual weight
  6. Accessible colors: Ensure sufficient contrast for visibility
  7. Metaphor consistency: Stick to one visual metaphor per image

Prompt Enhancement Tips

For better results with team visuals:

  • Specify "suitable for executive presentation" for more polished output
  • Request "abstract figures" rather than detailed people for flexibility
  • Include "white space for text" to leave room for labels
  • Mention "corporate" or "professional" to avoid overly playful styles
  • Use "modern flat illustration" for clean, scalable visuals
