Start with Seedream 4.5 if you want a clean first pass with strong composition, polished product feel, and better control over a simple enamel pin look. Try Wan 2.7 when you want more visual variety, bolder illustration experiments, or a second opinion on the same subject. A practical workflow is to run the same prompt through both routes, then judge which output has the clearer silhouette, stronger border, and fewer production problems. ### What should an AI pin maker prompt include? A good prompt names the subject, the pin shape, the enamel process, the metal outline, the color limit, and the viewing angle. For example: cute red panda enamel pin, round badge shape, thick gold metal outline, hard enamel style, five flat colors, simple face, no background, clean vector-like product mockup. Add use case details when they matter, such as convention merch, coffee shop loyalty pin, band tour pin, or school club badge. ### What negative words help AI pin designs look manufacturable? Use negative words to block details that look impressive on a screen but fail as pins. Common negative words include thin lines, tiny text, complex gradient, watercolor bleed, photorealistic texture, busy background, floating parts, weak outline, too many colors, illegible letters, extra limbs, sticker sheet, soft shadow, metal missing, and no border. The goal is not to remove personality; it is to keep the image readable when the final object is only about one inch across. ### How do reference images change the workflow? Reference images are useful when the pin must follow an existing logo, mascot, character, color palette, or product identity. Upload the reference, then write what should be preserved and what can change. For example, preserve the cat mascot pose and blue brand color, but simplify the fur details into flat enamel areas with a silver outline. If the first result copies too much background detail, add instructions for isolated pin object, centered, no scene, and limited colors. ### How should I compare multiple AI pin versions? Do not choose only the prettiest image at thumbnail size. Compare each version as a potential physical object. Check whether the outer contour is memorable, the metal outline is continuous, color regions are separated, eyes and letters are not too small, and the idea still reads in black and white. Save one polished option, one simplified option, and one experimental option. This gives a designer or supplier useful direction without locking you into a single AI mistake. ### What export format should I use after generation? Export a high-resolution PNG for visual reference and keep the prompt, model route, seed or version notes, and any uploaded references together. A PNG is usually not enough for manufacturing because suppliers need editable vector paths for molds and enamel fills. Treat the AI result as concept art: it helps you decide the direction, then a designer should redraw or trace the chosen concept into AI or SVG files that a manufacturer can proof. ## Next Step Use AI Pin Maker when the design direction is still open and you want to generate enamel pin concepts from prompts or reference images. After you choose a concept, continue with the [Pin Maker production workflow](/pin-maker/) to prepare quote details, supplier files, samples, and bulk production checks.
