Mastering the AR Stage: 5 Tips for Complex Poster Layouts
How to use spatial prompts to guide the GLM-Image autoregressive planner for professional grade posters.
Layout is the backbone of any design. GLM-Image's unique architecture allows for precise control over where elements land.
1. Use Geometric Hints
Keywords like "centered", "upper third", and "bottom margin" are heavily weighted by the AR stage.
2. Anchor with Text
Always start your prompt with the main headline. The AR stage uses text as an anchor for the rest of the composition.
3. Symmetry vs. Chaos
If you want a balanced look, explicitly mention "symmetrical layout".
4. Negative Space
Mentioning "clean margins" helps the model understand not to crowd the edges.
5. Layering
Describe the "background layer" and "foreground objects" separately to help the depth mapping.
