Create a true overhead everyday-object arrangement
Arrange a few objects in a directly overhead view with clear spacing.
What to provide
- A permitted subject description. This example was generated from text only, without a reference image.
Example Recorded test output
Input
Create a square photographic flat-lay illustration of one closed sage notebook, one terracotta mug and one plain graphite pen arranged deliberately on an ivory desk. Use a directly overhead camera with all objects lying on the same horizontal plane, clear spacing and the entire outline of each object visible. Put the notebook left, mug upper right and pen below it. Soft daylight enters from the upper left with short consistent shadows. No perspective tilt, extra objects, people, writing, logos or watermark. This is a generated arrangement.
Output
All three complete objects are visible from above, with the notebook on the left, mug upper right and pen beneath it. The spacing and short shadows remain clear.
Tool settings
One text-to-image run; 1254 x 1254 PNG. Opaque background. Codex built-in image_gen; model name, seed and quality control not exposed by the tool.
Improve the result
