An article summary, audience, visual tone, target size, brand colors, logo, product, or portrait can help shape a more specific direction. ### Can the article title appear inside the image? Yes. A short title can be included with a planned placement and contrast, or the cover can remain text-free with a safe area for precise typesetting later. ### Can I use an existing logo, product image, portrait, or brand reference? Yes. Up to four visual references can guide the composition, style, subject, or brand direction, with the most important details stated clearly. ### How does the cover read at thumbnail size? Safe margins, a clear hierarchy, and crops that suit each placement keep headlines, logos, faces, and edges readable at thumbnail size. ## Related Skills - [WeChat Moments Poster Maker](https://beatra.ai/en/skills/wechat-moments-poster-maker): Turn a promotion, event, product photo, or brand reference into a focused social poster with room for the message. - [Note Research Studio](https://beatra.ai/en/skills/xiaohongshu-note-research): Title patterns, structure, and followable angles from a link or notes you paste. - [YouTube Caption Studio](https://beatra.ai/en/skills/youtube-caption-studio): A Chinese spoken script and remake beats from a YouTube link or a pasted transcript. - [YouTube Thumbnail Maker](https://beatra.ai/en/skills/youtube-thumbnail-maker): Three directions, one recommendation, a title-matching note, and a channel rule that keeps the next one consistent.
