The phrase worth stealing here is 'the sandwich effect': parts of the subject hide behind the geometric blocks while wheels, limbs or props overlap them, creating depth on a flat grid. The palette rule is equally useful. It tells the model to take a brand's colours and push them towards dusty, desaturated versions, which is why the result looks like a design-studio layout rather than an ad. With our invented cycling brand VELOTRA, the model split the grid into rider, bike frame, logo block and a floating bike light as the 'iconic prop'. Name your product category clearly so the model picks a sensible subject and prop.

Tips
With an unknown or invented brand, add one line describing the category, because 'autonomously analyze' needs something to analyse.
Keep 'zero gradients'; it is what gives the flat, printed look.
Ask for 4:5 or 3:4 if the poster is for social feeds.
