Summary: ERNIE-Image's precise text rendering and multilingual support make it an ideal AI tool for brand visual design. This article provides a complete brand design workflow from scratch: brand color management, bilingual Chinese-English poster generation, product catalog layout, social media adaptation, and LoRA training for brand style consistency. Includes complete prompt templates and real-world application cases.
1. Why ERNIE-Image for Brand Design?
Traditional AI image generation models face three major challenges in brand design scenarios:
- Inaccurate text rendering: Brand names, slogans, and promotional text often appear garbled
- Weak multilingual support: CJK languages (Chinese, Japanese) are nearly impossible to render correctly
- Imprecise brand colors: Specified brand colors (HEX/Pantone) deviate significantly
ERNIE-Image directly solves these three core problems:
- ✅ High-precision text rendering: Chinese, English, and Japanese all rendered accurately, with complex layout support
- ✅ Precise brand color control: Community tests show ERNIE-Image performs best in brand color matching
- ✅ Structured layout capability: Grid and column layouts for posters, infographics, and product catalogs
2. Brand Color Management
2.1 Specifying Brand Colors in Prompts
ERNIE-Image supports specifying brand colors through prompts. Best practice is to use HEX codes or Pantone numbers:
Prompt Example:
"A brand promotional poster, main color brand blue #1E88E5,
background white #FFFFFF,
title text dark gray #424242,
brand logo in upper right corner,
modern minimalist style overall, 16:9 aspect ratio"
2.2 Brand Color Workflow
- Define brand palette: Prepare HEX codes for primary, secondary, and neutral colors
- Create base templates: Generate 3-5 base poster templates with ERNIE-Image
- Iterate and optimize: Refine color descriptions in prompts based on results
- Batch production: Fix prompt templates, swap products and copy
2.3 Brand Color Prompt Tips
| Tip | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Use HEX codes | Most precise color specification | #1E88E5 |
| Describe color relationships | Primary, secondary, background | Primary #1E88E5, accent #FFC107 |
| Specify color regions | Which elements use which colors | Title #1E88E5, body #424242, button #FF5722 |
| Style anchoring | Reference well-known brands | Style similar to Apple event posters |
3. Bilingual Chinese-English Poster Generation
3.1 Bilingual Poster Core Prompt Structure
Prompt Template:
"A professional promotional poster,
[brand element description],
Main title: '[Chinese title]' (large bold font, [color]),
Subtitle: '[English title]' (medium font, [color]),
Body text: '[Chinese description]' / '[English description]',
[visual element description],
Overall style: [style description],
Aspect ratio: 16:9, Resolution: 1024×1024"
3.2 Real Case: Tech Company Product Launch Poster
Prompt:
"A tech product launch poster,
deep blue gradient background #0D47A1 to #1565C0,
Main title: 'Next-Gen AI Vision Engine' (white large bold font, upper center),
Subtitle: '全新 AI 视觉引擎' (light gray medium font),
Body text: 'Faster · Smarter · More Accurate' / '更快 · 更准 · 更智能',
product rendering at bottom,
brand logo in lower right corner,
modern tech style, 16:9 aspect ratio"
3.3 Multilingual Poster Best Practices
| Practice | Description |
|---|---|
| Chinese primary, English secondary | Large font for Chinese, medium for English |
| Avoid long text | Keep under 15 Chinese characters per line |
| Consistent font style | Describe "sans-serif" or "modern font" |
| Clear text positioning | Specify "upper left", "centered", "bottom center" |
| Color contrast | Ensure clear contrast between text and background |
4. Product Catalogs and Infographic Design
4.1 Structured Infographics
ERNIE-Image excels at structured layout generation. Product catalogs and infographics are typical use cases:
Prompt Example:
"A product information graphic,
top title: '2026 Product Collection',
divided into three sections:
Left section title: 'Flagship Series', with 3 product thumbnails and names,
Center section title: 'Standard Series', with 3 product thumbnails and names,
Right section title: 'Entry Series', with 3 product thumbnails and names,
each product has price and brief description below,
brand colors #1E88E5 and #424242,
white background, professional layout, 16:9 ratio"
4.2 Product Catalog Design Tips
- Grid layout: Specify "3×3 grid" or "four-panel" clear structure
- Product consistency: Maintain consistent product style across catalog
- Text hierarchy: Title > Product name > Description > Price font sizes
- White space: Describe "generous white space" to avoid clutter
5. Social Media Content Adaptation
5.1 Platform Sizes and Styles
| Platform | Recommended Size | Style Characteristics | Prompt Key Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080×1080 (1:1) | Strong visual impact | Vibrant colors, moderate white space | |
| Xiaohongshu | 1080×1440 (3:4) | Lifestyle, approachable | People scenes, text descriptions |
| 1200×627 (1.91:1) | Professional, clean | Data charts, professional tones | |
| Twitter/X | 1200×675 (16:9) | High info density | Prominent titles, clean layout |
| 1200×627 (1.91:1) | Social interaction | People + text, emotional expression |
5.2 Social Media Prompt Templates
Instagram Post:
"An Instagram post image,
[product/scene description],
brand text at bottom: '[brand name]' (brand color #XXXXXX),
overall style [style description],
1:1 ratio, 1080×1080 pixels"
Xiaohongshu Cover:
"A Xiaohongshu post cover image,
[lifestyle scene description],
top title text: '[Chinese title]' (eye-catching color),
bottom subtitle: '[brief description]',
lifestyle, approachable style,
3:4 ratio, 1080×1440 pixels"
6. Achieving Brand Style Consistency with LoRA
6.1 Training Brand LoRA
ERNIE-Image supports LoRA fine-tuning for custom brand styles:
- Collect training data: 15-30 brand style reference images
- Define trigger word: e.g.,
brand_style_v1 - Training parameters:
- Learning rate: 1e-4
- Training steps: 1000-2000
- Batch size: 1-4
- Validate: Test LoRA with trigger word + various scene descriptions
6.2 Cloud LoRA Training
fal.ai provides ERNIE-Image LoRA cloud training API:
# fal.ai ERNIE-Image LoRA training example
import fal_client
result = fal_client.submit(
"fal-ai/ernie-image-lora-training",
arguments={
"base_model": "baidu/ERNIE-Image",
"training_images": ["url1", "url2", "url3"],
"trigger_word": "brand_style_v1",
"num_steps": 1500,
"learning_rate": 1e-4,
}
)
6.3 LoRA Inference
After training, load LoRA in ComfyUI or Diffusers:
# Load LoRA in ComfyUI
# Use LoadLoRA node, set trigger word to brand_style_v1
# Add trigger word to prompt: brand_style_v1, [scene description]
7. Complete Brand Visual Workflow
7.1 From Zero to Brand Visual System
| Step | Action | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Define brand palette and style | Brand guidelines doc |
| 2 | Train brand LoRA (optional) | Brand LoRA file |
| 3 | Generate base poster templates | 3-5 templates |
| 4 | Create multilingual variants | CN+EN versions |
| 5 | Adapt platform sizes | Social media assets |
| 6 | Batch produce series content | Monthly content library |
7.2 Batch Production Prompt Management
Use prompt templates for efficient batch production:
# Prompt template management
BRAND_PROMPTS = {
"poster": "A brand promotional poster, {brand_colors}, main title: '{title}', subtitle: '{subtitle}', {visual_elements}, style {style}, {aspect_ratio}",
"social_ig": "An Instagram post, {brand_colors}, {product_description}, brand text at bottom: '{brand_name}', 1:1 ratio",
"infographic": "A product information graphic, {brand_colors}, title: '{title}', divided into {sections} sections, each with {elements}, white background professional layout",
}
Batch generation
for product in products:
prompt = BRAND_PROMPTS["poster"].format(
brand_colors="#1E88E5, #424242",
title=product["title_cn"],
subtitle=product["title_en"],
visual_elements=product["visual_desc"],
style="modern minimalist",
aspect_ratio="16:9"
)
generate_image(prompt)
8. Common Issues and Solutions
Q1: Generated brand colors are inaccurate?
Solution:
- Emphasize brand colors multiple times in prompts
- Use "overall color scheme #XXXXXX" instead of single element colors
- Fine-tune colors in Photoshop/Figma after generation
Q2: Chinese text still has garbled characters?
Solution:
- Shorten text length (per line < 10 characters)
- Use common words, avoid rare characters
- Enable Prompt Enhancer (PE) mode
- Lower guidance_scale to 3.0-4.0
Q3: Multilingual mixed layout looks bad?
Solution:
- Arrange Chinese and English on separate lines, not mixed in same line
- Large font for Chinese, medium-small font for English
- Describe clear hierarchy: "Chinese main title, English subtitle"
