## Best Practices

### Composition & Layout
- **Typography Space**: Always request space for titles, headlines, and text overlays
- **Safe Zones**: Leave margins for print bleeding and important content
- **Focal Point**: Define a clear visual hierarchy and center of attention
- **Balance**: Specify if you want symmetrical or asymmetrical composition

### Visual Style
- **Color Palette**: Mention specific colors or mood-based palettes (warm, cool, vibrant, muted)
- **Lighting**: Describe lighting direction, quality, and atmosphere
- **Style Reference**: Reference art movements, eras, or specific design styles
- **Texture**: Request specific textures (grain, noise, paper, digital clean)

### Format Guidelines
- **Aspect Ratio**: Always specify the desired ratio for your use case
- **Resolution**: Higher resolution for print, standard for digital
- **Orientation**: Vertical (portrait) is standard for most posters

## Prompt Tips for Poster Design

When creating poster designs, include these details in your prompt:

1. **Purpose**: What is the poster for? (movie, event, product, etc.)
2. **Format**: Specify aspect ratio (2:3, 11:17, 1:1, etc.)
3. **Style**: Art style or era (minimalist, vintage, modern, etc.)
4. **Subject**: Main visual elements and composition
5. **Color Palette**: Specific colors or mood-based palette
6. **Typography Space**: Where text will be placed
7. **Mood/Atmosphere**: Emotional tone of the design

### Example Prompt Structure

```
"Create a [format/ratio] [type] poster for [purpose].
[Visual description of main subject and composition].
[Style and aesthetic references].
[Color palette and lighting].
Leave space at [position] for [text elements]."
```

## Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

**"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"**

| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|------|----------|-------|---------|
| `max` | Final poster designs, print-ready artwork | Slower | Highest |
| `eco` | Quick drafts, concept exploration, style testing | Faster | Good |
