How do you use a text-heavy reference without regenerating its words?

Identify the text’s layout job

Mark where the reference’s headline, benefit, price and call to action sit. Count their roles rather than transcribing their exact words. A dense typographic block can balance a product on the opposite side, but your approved message may be shorter and require different space.

For an illustrative kitchen appliance ad, keep one headline zone and one concise feature zone. Remove an unsupported comparison or competitor slogan from the new brief. The layout should support your actual evidence instead of requiring you to invent enough claims to fill it.

Create a copy-free layout plan

Avoid blank faux labels that look like missing package text. Separate advertising copy zones from wording that physically belongs on the product. The latter still needs fidelity review.

Review the generated background for residual type

Use Image remix to describe the arrangement and your actual product. Ask for clean advertising space rather than a finished text-heavy advertisement. Inspect for invented characters, decorative letter fragments or retained reference slogans. A small unreadable mark can still make the composition feel unfinished.

Exact removal or typography placement may require an external editor. Itemlume does not currently provide a dedicated AI removal brush or an editable text-layer export. Keep that limitation explicit in the handoff.

Place approved copy and retest the hierarchy

Build the final text outside the generator and compare the combined image at phone size. Ensure the product remains recognizable and that a longer language version does not cover its controls. Recheck package lettering independently from the added campaign copy.

Use language-length planning for alternative copy and title-space planning for moving media. The approved output includes a clean scene plus an editable layout file, not a screenshot of generated words that cannot be corrected.
