Learn how to generate brand-aligned imagery and illustrations using Brand Style mode

Eklipsa's Imagery and Illustration generators let you create visuals that match your brand's established style using Brand Style mode, powered by your trained custom models.

📍 How to Access

Brand Style vs Manual Styles

You can choose between Brand Style and manual style presets:

🎨 Brand Style

Uses your trained model for maximum brand consistency. Best for maintaining visual identity across all generated content.

📐 Manual Styles

Preset styles like "Photographic" or "Flat" for specific aesthetic needs. Still uses your brand colors.

Both options respect your brand colors and guidelines. Brand Style goes further by matching your trained visual style, while manual styles give you more creative flexibility.

💡 When to Use Each

  • Use Brand Style: When you need visuals that match your existing brand assets exactly
  • Use Manual Styles: When you want to experiment with different aesthetics while maintaining brand colors


Tips for Best Results

  • Train with Quality Assets: Use high-resolution, representative images for training
  • Be Specific in Prompts: Describe exactly what you want, including composition and mood
  • Use Brand Colors: Select "Brand Colors" in Color Mode for maximum consistency
  • Iterate: Generate multiple variations and refine your prompts based on results
  • Save Favorites: Build your asset library with successful generations
💡 Pro Tip

Train separate models for imagery and illustrations for best results. Each model type is optimized for its specific use case.
