Turn an approved visual direction into an organized set of campaign files for different placements.

Make a placement list before production

List the destinations you actually need: store banner, email image, social placement or product-page support. Record the intended ratio and where copy will sit. Check current specifications in the destination before exporting; there is no single crop that fits every use.

Choose one product and offer for the set. Keep each image connected to that product so a variant or accessory cannot slip into the wrong campaign.

Approve the direction before making the set

Create the first composition from your source in Fotogenic. Review the product and the visual direction, then use that accepted example to guide the remaining placements.

The single campaign image guide covers the initial brief. This stage is about carrying the accepted direction through several useful outputs, not generating unrelated variations.

Use a small handoff manifest

  • Source: product SKU and original filename.
  • Output: chosen image filename and version.
  • Placement: destination, ratio and copy area.
  • Review: product accuracy and final-crop decision.
  • Publish: final file, destination link and owner.

For example: tote-blue / tote-source.jpg / tote-email-v2.jpg / email hero / approved. Keep previous versions separately, and use descriptive filenames instead of relying on the order images were downloaded.

Inspect the finished placements together

Add final copy, then review the set side by side for product consistency and message alignment. Open each export at its actual display size. Check that no crop removes the handle, label or other deciding detail.

After publishing, verify the destination links and offer. Measure the campaign’s clicks and downstream actions separately; a visually coherent set is not evidence of sales performance.

Test the workflow

Try the upload-to-campaign workflow on your own product.

Start with your own product photo. Create a new scene, check the details and keep the result that fits your store.
