A Seedream poster prompt needs two briefs: what the picture should show, and exactly what the audience should read. Keeping those instructions separate makes errors easier to spot and revisions easier to describe. For multilingual work, approve the translation before generating the image; do not ask one generation to invent the offer, translate it, and design the layout at the same time.
This tutorial uses a fictional weekend exhibition to explain a repeatable workflow in our AI image generator. The prompts are original starting points, not tested benchmarks or promises of perfect text. Available controls and output sizes depend on the selected model.
Write a copy sheet before the image prompt
Create one approved copy sheet per language. For this example, the English headline is “SMALL WORLDS”, the subheading is “An exhibition of everyday objects”, and the date line is “18–20 October”. The Hindi version uses “छोटी दुनिया”, “रोज़मर्रा की वस्तुओं की प्रदर्शनी”, and “18–20 अक्टूबर”. Have a fluent reviewer approve any translation intended for publication.
Keep addresses, ticket conditions, URLs, and accessibility information in an editable layout file. A poster can contain a generated headline while its essential event details remain real text. This avoids regenerating an otherwise useful visual whenever a date changes.
The copy sheet is also your acceptance test: every displayed word must match it. Attractive invented lettering still fails that test.
Build the composition before adding more text
Open the image workspace and select Seedream 5.0 Pro if available. Use the output ratio appropriate to the placement; a portrait social post and a wide website banner need separate compositions. Start with one image rather than a batch of unresolved layouts.
Design a portrait exhibition poster, 4:5 composition. A single blue ceramic
teacup sits on a warm ivory pedestal in the lower half. Soft daylight,
quiet museum atmosphere, restrained navy and cream palette.
Reserve the upper third for a large headline. Place a short supporting line
below it and a small date line at the bottom. Clear reading order, ample margins.
Exact headline: "SMALL WORLDS"
Exact supporting line: "An exhibition of everyday objects"
Exact date: "18–20 October"
No other text, no sponsor logos, no invented signatures.If the model crowds the cup into the headline area, fix the spatial instruction before changing fonts or adding decoration. “Move the cup lower and keep the upper third empty except for the headline” identifies a specific problem; “make it better” does not.
Localize the layout, not only the words
Once the English composition is useful, use it as a reference in Image to Image and provide the Hindi copy separately. Preserve visual roles rather than demanding identical glyph widths. Different scripts need different spacing.
Use the uploaded poster as the composition reference. Preserve the blue cup,
ivory pedestal, palette and daylight direction. Replace only the text:
Headline: "छोटी दुनिया"
Supporting line: "रोज़मर्रा की वस्तुओं की प्रदर्शनी"
Date: "18–20 अक्टूबर"
Use clear Devanagari letterforms. Allow more vertical room for the supporting
line if needed. Keep all text inside generous margins. Add no English copy.Treat preservation as a request, not a guarantee. Compare the new cup and shadows against the reference as well as checking the letters. For a campaign requiring identical artwork in many languages, generate a text-free master and typeset each translation separately instead.
Repair the right failure
| What you see | Next change |
|---|---|
| One misspelled headline | Request only that replacement with the exact approved spelling; inspect the whole image again. |
| Dense supporting text becomes marks | Shorten it or move it to an editable text layer outside the generator. |
| Duplicate words or extra labels | List all allowed text blocks and explicitly exclude additional text. |
| Translation is correct but cramped | Reflow the layout for that language rather than shrinking every line. |
| Artwork changes during text repair | Return to the approved artwork and finish typography in a design editor. |
Do not keep paying for retries without a stopping rule. After two unsuccessful text-only revisions, consider keeping the illustration and setting the text manually. See our iteration cost guide for a broader review process.
Check the exported poster at its actual viewing size
Inspect the downloaded file, not just the preview. Read each line against the copy sheet, including punctuation, date separators, and script marks. Then view the image at the size people will see on their phone. Text that is technically correct but too small is not useful typography.
Also check the crop, contrast, and margins in the destination layout. Keep a text-free master, the approved copy sheet, and the chosen prompt with your project so future localization does not begin from a flattened screenshot.
Questions about Seedream poster text
Does Seedream guarantee correct spelling?
No. Treat generated text as a draft that needs proofreading. Short copy and explicit placement make review simpler, but do not guarantee correctness. Our text-rendering workflow page explains where this fits into the image tool.
Can I make several language versions in one image?
You can request them, but separate versions are easier to inspect and adapt. A bilingual poster needs a deliberate hierarchy for both languages, not a second paragraph squeezed into leftover space.
Will the download contain editable text layers?
Do not assume that it will. A normal image download is a raster asset, not a layered design file. Use a design application for editable typography; this workflow does not rely on a Layer Split feature.
