How to create multiple visual style variants of the same character or product using AI
Design & Visuals
Goal: Produce visually distinct variants of the same character or product while preserving identity.
Approach: Use a controlled style-parameter workflow to vary color, texture, line weight, and composition across variants.
This task provides a structured method to produce and evaluate multiple variants with consistent identity.
Who is this for?
- Graphic designers building a scalable library of character visuals with consistent identity
- Product teams exploring branding variants for marketing collateral
- AI artists testing style transfer workflows while maintaining form fidelity
- Marketing teams needing rapid visual prototyping across campaigns
Before you start
- Access to the base design asset (vector or high-res raster) and a clear identity brief
- A defined set of target styles or parameters (colors, textures, line weight, composition)
- Basic familiarity with your AI toolchain or preferred generation workflow
General Process (How it works)
- Define base identity Identify core cues that must remain constant; cause→effect: ensures identity retention.
- Choose style controls Select parameters for color, texture, line weight, and composition that will drive variants; effect: directed variation.
- Prepare prompts and assets Format prompts and ensure assets are ready for batch processing; effect: reduces errors.
- Generate variants Run the generation with controlled variables; effect: diverse outputs within identity constraints.
- Evaluate and filter Compare outputs against identity criteria and select top candidates; effect: higher-quality set.
- Refine selected variants Tweak parameters on the best options to improve consistency; effect: final polish.
- Document and export Record decisions and export variants for reuse; effect: reproducibility and scalability.
