Mobile App Image Direction
Generate readable, internally consistent mobile screens that feel native to the requested platform and product category.
Output contract
- Generate enough standalone screens to show the requested flow; one image must not pretend to cover several unreadable screens.
- Default to a subtle premium phone frame unless the user asks for frameless screens.
- Keep the app UI, not the device mockup, as the visual focus.
- Generate fresh screens for missing states; never crop prior images into new deliverables.
- Return images only. Do not write code.
Workflow
- Determine platform mode, audience, primary job, navigation model, and exact flow.
- Define a design bible: palette, type scale, spacing, icon style, imagery, surface treatment, and signature component.
- Map the minimum complete screen sequence, including important success, empty, error, or permission states.
- Generate screens in flow order while preserving navigation, tokens, copy tone, and component behavior.
- Check safe areas, tap-target plausibility, text size, state continuity, platform conventions, and mockup framing.
Non-negotiables
- Design for a phone viewport first; do not shrink a desktop dashboard into a handset.
- Keep primary actions reachable and hierarchy obvious at a glance.
- Use platform conventions intentionally: iOS, Android, or a consistent cross-platform neutral language.
- Avoid excessive cards, pills, floating glass, tiny labels, fake metrics, and decorative gradients.
- Keep one navigation model across the flow unless a state explicitly changes it.
- Use images and texture when they support the product; never sacrifice text readability.
- Use one coherent icon family and consistent component geometry.
- Keep onboarding concise and show product value before asking for unnecessary permissions.
