A practical starting point for a set of ideas

Seedream 5 Flash is the speed- and budget-oriented member of this family. Use it to test the overall direction of a visual: a product against a new color, a room in different light or a character in a new setting. It includes the same basic text-or-image starting choice on this page.

Draft a short brief that names the subject, frame and mood. Once you find a direction, expand the details that matter. Flash and Pro are separate versions; comparing them is more useful when you keep the prompt and framing the same.

Character · 9:16

A character with a clear silhouette

An anime barista serving a strawberry drink. Original anime character illustration, confident clean linework, expressive face, carefully layered clothing, restrained colors, clear silhouette, cinematic rim light. One character, no text.

Compose the figure with breathing room above the head and around the hands. Use one clear pose, a readable outline and a quieter background. Keep the face expressive without exaggerating the anatomy.

Let the clothing show a small amount of fabric texture. Use soft environmental light and a restrained highlight along the silhouette. The result should feel like a thoughtfully composed character study, not a collage of unrelated styles.

Product · 1:1

A considered product composition

A peach soda can with an unmarked label. Premium product still life, precise material detail, soft studio key light, subtle contact shadow, generous negative space, realistic photography, no lettering or logos.

Place the object slightly below the center with ample empty space above it. Keep the material and geometry consistent. Add a soft contact shadow to ground the object, with no distracting props.

Use one broad key light and a subtle fill. Preserve believable reflections and fine surface texture. The composition should read clearly at thumbnail size while retaining detail when viewed larger.

How to get started with Seedream 5 Flash

Define the composition

Choose the frame for your Seedream 5 Flash image before filling in the details. Name the main subject and its position. A product centered on a table needs a different brief from a character standing near the edge of a landscape.

Add a visual treatment

Describe the medium, palette and direction of light. Keep those choices compatible: a soft watercolor study and a glossy studio photograph are different assignments.

Review one result at a time

Check anatomy, object edges, lettering and the crop at full size. Change the instruction that caused the problem instead of appending a long list of unrelated adjectives.
