Create the image your story needs next
Google's Nano Banana 2 develops a still from a written brief or from reference photos you attach, in frames from square to wide banner strips. Describe the subject and the setting, pick the shape for your destination, and compare Nano Banana 2 takes before finishing.
A muralist painting a humpback whale across a courtyard wall has to see the whole composition before the first stroke. Nano Banana 2 helps you plan at that scale: describe the subject and the frame it needs, then compare takes before you commit to one.
Generate with Nano Banana 2
Nano Banana 2 accepts a written idea, one photo or a set of references, and offers some unusually tall and wide frames. Follow these steps to brief it, pick the frame, compare takes and check the image you keep.
Describe your idea to Nano Banana 2 in a few sentences: who or what is in the scene, where it happens and how it should feel. Working from existing material? Attach one or more references in image-to-image mode and name what each one contributes.
Pick a frame that matches the destination. Nano Banana 2 includes strip formats such as 4:1 and 1:8 alongside square and 16:9, which helps with banners and tall sidebars. Place the subject so a caption or headline still has room.
Run a Nano Banana 2 take and hold it against the brief. Check whether each reference shows up the way you intended and whether the subject sits where the layout needs it. Adjust one instruction at a time so you know what changed.
Save the take you plan to use and review it at full size, especially faces, hands and edges near the crop. Finish captions, labels and layout in your editor; the Nano Banana 2 image supplies the visual, while the final design work happens there.

Create a new image from text or edit one you already have with the right image tool.
Nano Banana 2 can start from words, one photograph or several references. The four tabs explain how each starting point and the chosen frame shape the image you build next.
A written brief is enough to start Nano Banana 2 text to image work. Establish the subject, the visual style and the mood in plain sentences, then grow the setting around them. If the first take misses, rewrite the part of the brief that caused it instead of piling on new adjectives.
A reference photograph gives Nano Banana 2 a concrete starting point. Say how the new version should differ, perhaps a winter street instead of summer, or ink instead of paint, and compare the subject in the result with the source to judge what carried over from the original.
The frame changes how a viewer reads the scene. With Nano Banana 2 you can choose tall strips, wide banners or ordinary ratios, so pick the one the final placement needs and leave room where a caption or headline will go in the finished design.
Several compatible references can describe a direction better than words alone, for example a product shot, a palette swatch and a location photo. Nano Banana 2 image to image takes up to 14 references on the selected variant, so choose only the ones that are relevant to the brief.
Product, portrait and illustration work each ask something different of Nano Banana 2. These rows describe what to put in the brief and what to check in the take.
For product scenes, attach the real item and describe its new surroundings: a sunlit limestone ledge, a picnic blanket, a shop window at dusk. Nano Banana 2 places the subject in that setting, and you confirm that the shape, color and label still match the original before sharing the concept.
Portraits benefit from naming light direction, expression and camera height together. Ask Nano Banana 2 for a soft side light with a quiet, pensive look, or a hard top light with a serious look, and compare which mood suits the story before checking eyes and hands.
Illustration briefs should name the medium and the palette early, such as clay miniatures in warm earth tones or watercolor with muted greens. That gives Nano Banana 2 a clear style target, and you can keep the colors tied to the central idea across later takes.
Nano Banana 2 suits projects that need a picture in an unusual frame or one built from several references. Here are six roles, the image each would request and where it would be used.
E-commerce teams can stage a product in a new room or season with Nano Banana 2 and a photo of the real item. The chosen still serves as a listing concept or as a brief for the next product shoot.

Campaign art directors can use the wide 4:1 and 8:1 frames in Nano Banana 2 for web banners and billboards. Compare a lifestyle version with a graphic version, then set final typography and logos in the design file.
Storyboard artists can build a sequence of key frames with Nano Banana 2, reusing the same character reference across shots. Review continuity frame by frame, since details can shift, and use the boards to plan staging with the crew.
Social designers can make a vertical 9:16 story and a 1:1 feed post from the same Nano Banana 2 brief. Compare the crops, review each image separately and add captions in the scheduling tool before posting.
Scenarios for using Nano Banana 2 image creation in real projects, from the photos or ideas you start with to the take you keep.
A plain product photograph would be my starting point for a seasonal post.
