CAMPAIGN SKETCHBOOK


Krea = Exploration


Stockimg = Execution

Your clients don’t need “one more post.” They need a visual system.

If you’ve ever helped a brand with content, you know how this goes:
every week is a new “urgent” post, a new size, a new random idea… and the grid ends up looking like five different companies are fighting for attention.

You bounce between Canva, three AI tools, and a scheduling app.
The client sends screenshots of other brands they like—after you’ve already finished the draft. Revisions pile up. Nothing feels consistent.

This tutorial is a way out. We’ll turn Krea.ai into your
concept sketchbook (explore looks, refine a hero visual, upscale)
and Stockimg.ai into your
campaign machine (logos, posts, Reels covers, stock-style photos, and even scheduling).

You’re not selling “AI art.” You’re selling a weekly visual pack:
one idea → one look → many assets → done, repeatable.

What your clients are feeling (but rarely say clearly)
THE OUTCOME
“Our feed looks messy.”

THE CAUSE
No visual direction

THE OUTCOME
“We always rush.”

THE CAUSE
No batch process

Your service is to be the person who says:
“We’ll pick one look, build all assets around it, and repeat that each week, on time.”

The Mess (what’s actually going wrong with their visuals)

“Every post looks like a new brand.”

One day it’s neon gradients. The next day it’s flat minimal. The week after, it’s a meme screenshot.
Followers can’t tell what the brand stands for visually, so nothing sticks.

“We keep paying for ‘one-off graphics.’”

The client hires different freelancers for random needs:
a logo here, a story cover there, a header two months later.
No system, just scattered spend and inconsistent quality.

“Campaign ideas die in Figma or Notion.”

There’s a “Q1 campaign” doc with ideas, moodboard screenshots, and references… but translating that into actual posts lags behind.
By the time visuals are ready, the moment has passed.

“Nobody owns the visual system.”

Marketing says one thing, the founder edits colors in Canva, an intern posts with a random crop.
Without a simple visual playbook, “design” becomes argument instead of process.

The opportunity: you don’t just “make images,” you own the sketchbook,
the rules, and the weekly production rhythm.

Tools & Palette (what each app is actually good for)

Krea.ai = sandbox
Concepts, moodboards, hero visuals

Krea is a full creative suite:
text-to-image, realtime canvas, upscaling to 22K, generative editing, even video and 3D.
Use it to explore looks, lock in a hero image, and clean it up at high resolution.

Stockimg.ai = factory
Social posts, logos, stock-style assets

Stockimg positions itself as an all‑in‑one AI design + social manager:
logos, stock photos, Instagram posts, TikTok/Reels covers, product photos, plus
a content calendar and multi-platform scheduling.

You = art director
You decide the look & the rules

Your skill is not “prompting.”
It’s defining a visual direction a non-designer client can live with for 4–12 weeks,
and turning that into concrete assets + a posting plan.

Transparency: Krea has a generous free tier but its Individual Basic plan (~$9/month) explicitly includes a commercial license and priority queue.
Stockimg.ai’s FAQ states that subscribers own the commercial and copyright rights to their creations.
Always double‑check Terms of Service before promising anything to clients.

Visual Bundles (what you actually sell)

Campaign Sketchbook Packages
PackageWhat’s insideBest forRealistic range
Launch Week Visual Kit 1 hero visual (Krea, 4K+),
3 Instagram posts, 3 stories, 1 email header, 1 website hero image (Stockimg),
simple color/typography guide.

Your leverage is in repeatable process + reliability, not “charge $5k overnight.”

SOP (from messy brief to ready-to-post assets)

Step 1 — 20-minute brand sketch (no Figma yet)

Never open a design tool before you answer three questions with the client:

  • Who should instantly feel “this is for me” when they see the visuals?
  • What 3 emotions do we want the feed to give? (e.g., calm, bold, playful)
  • What are we selling this week or month? (one clear focus)

Step 2 — Explore looks in Krea (45–90 minutes)

This is the “sketchbook” phase. Goal: one hero look, not infinite options.

  1. Generate 10–20 variations based on a simple prompt (“minimal line art laptop + coffee, warm pastel palette”).
  2. Try a few styles: flat illustration, soft photography, bold graphic poster.
  3. Use Krea’s generative editing to refine the best 3 (remove clutter, adjust composition).
  4. Upscale the top 1–2 hero images to high resolution (4K+).

Step 3 — Turn heroes into templates with Stockimg (60–120 minutes)

Now you stop exploring and start multiplying.

  1. In Stockimg, generate or upload base designs for:
    • Instagram post templates (quote, before/after, carousel cover).
    • Story templates (announcement, poll, swipe‑up/CTA).
    • Optional: logo or icon variants if part of scope.
  2. Use Stockimg’s editing to align fonts/colors with your Krea hero visual.
  3. Ensure each format is easy to reuse with new text later.

Step 4 — Build the mini calendar (30–45 minutes)

Stockimg leans into “social media manager” features: generation, editing, scheduling, and integrations.

  • Place the 10–12 assets on a 2–4 week calendar.
  • Group by mini‑series (e.g., 3‑post story arc on one topic).
  • Add draft captions or at least hooks (optional scope but huge perceived value).
  • If the client wants, connect their accounts and schedule directly through Stockimg.

Checks (how you keep this looking professional)

Visual consistency checklist
  • Same 2–3 fonts across all assets?
  • Same 3–5 core colors (with tints), no random extras?
  • Same basic illustration/photo style (not realistic one day / cartoon the next)?
  • Logo/mark placed consistently (corner, size)?
  • Plenty of whitespace—nothing feels cramped on mobile?
Reality & risk checklist
  • No misleading “before/after” claims (especially in fitness/health)?
  • No fake logos or brand references you don’t own?
  • Text readable for non‑designers (no ultra‑thin white on pastel)?
  • Client understands these are AI‑generated and visually approved by you—not hand‑illustrated?
  • Billing / subscription: you track your own Krea + Stockimg usage so there are no surprise costs?

Honest note: Krea is powerful but some users online complain about slow or missing billing support.
That doesn’t mean “don’t use it,” but it does mean:
start on monthly, watch charges, and never build a critical client promise on a tool you don’t monitor.

Clients (how to explain this without sounding like AI hype)

A) Positioning blurb (for your site/DM)
Positioning (Copy/Paste)

I help small brands and solo creators build a “visual system” for their campaigns:
- one clear look
- a batch of ready-to-post assets
- and a simple calendar to follow

Instead of random one-off graphics, you get a reusable sketchbook:
we define your style once, then turn it into a month of posts.

B) First-contact message (no AI buzzwords)
Outreach (Copy/Paste)

Hey [Name] — quick question about your visuals.

I’ve been following [Brand/Account] and your offers are strong,
but your posts each week feel like they have slightly different styles.

I run a small “campaign sketchbook” service:
we agree on one look for the next 4 weeks,
I create a batch of on-brand posts/stories around it,
and give you a simple calendar so you’re never scrambling last minute.

If I mocked up 3 posts in your current colors just to show you,
would you want to see what that could look like?

Ship one mini‑campaign this week

Don’t overplan. Pick one tiny launch (a client or your own project).
Use Krea to find a hero look. Use Stockimg to spin that into 6–10 assets.
Put them on a two‑week calendar. See how different it feels when visuals are aligned and ready before the week starts.

Transparency notes:
Krea offers free daily generations; its paid “Individual Basic” plan (~$9/month) includes a commercial license and priority queue.
Stockimg.ai’s pricing page states that paid subscribers own the commercial and copyright
rights to their creations and can use them for business, with plans typically in the ~$19–$29/month range.
Third‑party review sites show mixed but generally positive trust for Stockimg.ai, so—like with any SaaS—do your own due diligence before committing annually.
This framework helps you structure client work; it’s not a promise of income without consistent effort and real communication.
