Design Posters With the Reve Reference Trick

Give the image model a real design reference so it borrows art direction instead of guessing from a vague prompt.

  1. Open Reve and start a new poster or design from scratch.
  2. Upload a poster whose layout, typography, palette, and energy you like.
  3. Describe your own subject clearly. Tell Reve to use the reference for direction, not copying.
  4. Generate at high resolution, then use targeted edits for individual words, colors, or layout fixes.
Reference-Led Poster Prompt
You are a world-class designer.

Use the attached design only as visual reference for art direction: typography style, composition, color palette, texture, rhythm, and energy.

Do not copy its exact layout, wording, imagery, or brand.

Create a new poster for [topic / event / product] with this copy:
[headline, details, date, location, CTA]

Make it feel finished, intentional, and print-ready.
