# Creative design (banners and post images)

## What it does

Creative design makes one-off branded images: social post graphics, banners and ad creative. It uses the client's brand identity (colors, type, logo, visual style) as the design system and can render a headline, a supporting line and a CTA button on the image. It delivers a Drive folder with one image per format.

For an image tied to a post on the social calendar, ask for the post's image instead (social calendar guide), so it's saved on the post.

## Set it up

- **Agent:** Creative Design (`creative-design`)
- **Model tier:** Sonnet · **cost cap per run:** $3.00
- **Needs:** nano_banana_pro
- **Delivered as:** creative-folder

1. The brand identity must exist, with a logo. **"Show the brand identity."** confirms both.
2. ✋ No logo yet? Drop a transparent PNG (or SVG) in the channel; send a light and a dark version so the right one goes on every background (brand identity guide).

## Use it

1. Describe the creative in one message: **"Design a LinkedIn banner announcing our webinar."**
2. Nexus proposes the whole plan in one reply: the format and size, the headline, subhead and CTA (with their character counts), and where the logo and CTA sit.
3. Approve it, or change one thing ("make it 9:16", "shorter headline", "no CTA"). Nexus keeps the rest.
4. The images arrive in a Drive folder.

Formats: square (1:1), portrait (4:5), story (9:16) and landscape (16:9), up to four in one run.

- Text-free: ask for "visual only" or "no text".
- No logo: say "no logo".
- Your own copy is used word for word. Several copy angles get one run each.
- A real product (a can, a box, a device): attach its photo, and Nexus keeps the product exactly as it is and changes only the setting.

### Edits

Reply in the same thread to adjust the last result: **"Make the headline bolder."** Nexus edits the previous images instead of starting over. For a completely different idea, start a new brief.

## Troubleshooting

- **Nexus asks for a brand identity or a logo first.** Both are required; build the brand identity or upload the logo.
- **The logo has a box around it.** It isn't transparent; upload a cut-out PNG.
- **The product looks different from the real one.** Attach the product photo again with the edit.

## Prompts
