The short answer

For an 11.11 sale, generate the product scene and add price copy separately

AI can build a coherent sale visual system, but it should not invent packaging, prices or promotion terms. Start with a neutral product master, lock shape and color, generate three layouts with clean copy areas, and typeset the verified offer as a separate editable layer.

01 · System

Build three campaign crops, not three unrelated designs

Prepare a catalog square, a vertical story and a wide site banner. Background, light, accent color and product scale should repeat across the set. Only product placement and the copy area change.

1:1Catalog and feed

The product fills 55–65% of the frame and the offer stays legible on mobile.

9:16Story and short video

Top and bottom UI zones remain clear while the product stays central.

16:9Site and display ad

The product shifts to one side, leaving a calm headline area.

02 · Source

The master image must show everything that cannot change

Use a sharp image without hands or occlusions. The cap, label, material, edges and true color must be visible. A festive set cannot repair distorted source packaging. Start with the guide to a consistent AI product series.

Seven visual directions for an 11.11 campaign

01 · Burgundy podium

Place the referenced product on a low burgundy podium. Preserve exact shape, color, cap, material and label size. Use crisp studio light and leave a clean area on the right. No letters, numbers or packaging changes.

02 · Red gradient

Create a minimal ad scene with a deep red-to-plum gradient. Keep the product upright in the center. Add two soft geometric shadows for energy. Do not change the product or add sale badges.

03 · Catalog square

Create a 1:1 layout: a large product on a clean light surface, one red circle behind it and a soft grounded shadow. Leave the top quarter empty. Match product geometry and color to the source.

04 · Vertical story

Create a 9:16 composition with the product below center. Keep the top 30% clean and important details out of the bottom UI area. Dark background and a narrow warm highlight; no copy, digits or logos.

05 · Wide banner

Create a 16:9 banner with the product on the right and a large quiet area on the left. Repeat the red-plum palette and studio lighting. Add no other products, ribbons, percentages or pseudo-text.

06 · Two-product set

Place the two referenced products at different heights on one podium. Preserve the scale, shape and label of each item. Use one light source and a shared shadow. Do not invent bundles or gift packaging.

07 · Final-day version

Create a higher-contrast version of the same set for the final sale day: deep background, a narrow light accent and more clean copy space. Keep the product completely unchanged and include no embedded text.

Prompt formulaCreate an [format] for an 11.11 sale. Preserve the referenced product's shape, color, material, cap and label. Background: [description]. Product position: [position]. Leave [area] clean. No copy, prices, percentages, logos or new packaging details.
04 · Assembly

Add the offer after selecting the final scene

Approve the text-free image first. Then add the sale name, current and previous price, dates and required conditions in a layout tool. “11.11” should not be the only message: a shopper still needs to understand the product and value.

HierarchyProduct → value → deadline

The image identifies the item; copy explains the offer.

ContrastReview on a phone

Price and action remain readable without covering the product.

AccuracyVerified terms only

Never generate stock pressure, ratings or discount size.

05 · Review

Compare every asset with the product master

  1. Does the silhouette match?Height, width, cap and proportions stay unchanged.
  2. Is product color accurate?Red set lighting has not recolored the packaging.
  3. Is the label stable?Its dimensions and position have not drifted.
  4. Is the shadow plausible?The product sits on a surface instead of floating.
  5. Is the offer verified?Prices, discounts and dates come from the current sales system.
  6. Do all crops belong together?Palette, light and scale form one campaign.

If the product changes, return to the master and replace only the background. Use the controlled product-background workflow for difficult items.

Retry route

Separate product errors from composition errors

If the bottle changes, return to the master and request only a background replacement. If the item is accurate but copy space is weak, change the crop without restyling. This order preserves approved details and avoids rechecking the entire campaign.

Takeaway

A strong 11.11 banner sells the real product, not the generation effect

Lock the item, build one visual system in three formats and keep commercial copy as a separate verified layer.
