Stop Rebuilding the Same Brand Image in Grok
The first image looks right. The second changes the product color. By the third, the campaign feels like three different brands. Before adding more adjectives to your prompt, give the model a smaller, clearer set of visual decisions to keep.

The Short Version
Give each reference one job. Create a master image, approve its details, and adapt that same master for each placement. Repair the problem area instead of rebuilding the whole composition.
Image 2.0 is available as Quality Mode in Grok Imagine. Its announced tools include editing with up to five input images, selected-region edits, background removal, and smart resize.
Grok's Imagine Image 2.0 supports multiple input images and targeted editing. That makes a reference kit a useful starting point: one image defines the product, one defines the setting, and one defines the palette. Here is how to turn that kit into a campaign you can actually reuse.
Build a three-image reference kit
Reference one: a clear photograph of the product you own. Reference two: a simple setting, such as a pale studio surface with side lighting. Reference three: a small palette of your brand colors. Avoid feeding in three finished advertisements with competing layouts.
Write one sentence identifying the job of each image before you generate. This becomes a reusable part of the brief. For a notebook campaign, the product photo controls the cover and elastic band; the setting controls the surface and light.
Copy this master-image brief
Create an editorial product image using the attached references. Image 1 defines the notebook: preserve its cover color, dimensions, corner shape, elastic band, and visible details. Image 2 defines the pale studio surface and soft side lighting. Image 3 defines the supporting color palette only.
Place one notebook in the lower right of a calm, uncluttered composition. Leave generous clean space in the upper left for a headline that I will add separately. Use a natural contact shadow and realistic material detail. Keep the full notebook visible.
Do not invent lettering, logos, extra elastic bands, hands, pens, decorative objects, or additional products. The visual priority is the notebook, followed by the empty headline space.
Approve the master before resizing
Compare the output with the product reference. Check the exact color, the elastic band's attachment, the corners, and the thickness. If the product itself is wrong, correct it before making more sizes.
For a local problem, use the available region-editing controls and describe the smallest useful correction. For example: restore the elastic band to the right edge, while preserving the cover texture, lighting, and all other objects.
Make a square and a vertical version
Use the approved master as the starting point. Image 2.0's smart resize can expand a composition to a chosen ratio. Ask it to extend the studio background and preserve the notebook, then inspect the result again.
For the square version, keep the notebook large enough to recognize in a feed. For a vertical version, leave extra room above it for the headline and below it for interface overlays. Add the text yourself after the composition is settled.
The consistency check
Put the finished images next to each other. A campaign should feel connected before the viewer reads the brand name. If one version introduces a new prop or mood, revise that asset rather than changing the whole set.
- Product: same color, proportions, and construction?
- Scene: same light direction and surface material?
- Composition: product visible with useful space for text?
- Delivery: headline readable at actual phone size?
Optional: make the master move
The same approved image can become a starting point for a short product video. Grok's Video 1.5 supports image-to-video and a separate reference workflow. Begin with a slow camera move; keep the product identity and setting fixed.
Keep the image and video limits separate. Image 2.0 accepts up to five input images for editing; Video 1.5's reference workflow supports up to seven. For this first campaign, your small, clearly assigned kit is enough.
