They should not be treated as interchangeable. ## Campaign image The campaign image describes the subject. Melody can use it for contextual understanding, similarity, and vector-based matching. Good campaign images: * clearly show the product, project, event, creator, or subject; * avoid temporary or signed CDN links; * remain available for the full campaign lifecycle; * use a direct HTTPS image URL; * do not depend on a login or expiring access token. ## Campaign cover The campaign cover is presentation artwork for circulation. It should remain legible and attractive in a compact, mobile-friendly intermission. Recommended formats: * 3:4 portrait, ideally around 900 × 1200 pixels; * square 1:1; * 4:5 portrait when appropriate. Keep the file web-friendly. Avoid print-resolution exports, tiny text, dense layouts, banner-ad styling, excessive calls to action, and visual clutter. A cover is required unless Melody detects supported native media. ## Native support Supported YouTube, SoundCloud, and Instagram post or reel links may use native presentation. Native support reduces dependence on cover artwork, but a good subject image is still valuable for matching. Native content must be public and available. Private, removed, age-restricted, login-gated, or region-blocked media may fail to render as intended. ## Use the cover prompt helper The Workstation can generate a plain-language creative brief for ChatGPT, Canva, another image tool, or a designer. 1. Enter the subject or use the campaign name. 2. Choose a mood, format, and context. 3. Add a reference source when useful. 4. Select **Generate**. 5. Copy the prompt into the creative tool. Most AI image tools cannot reliably read arbitrary image URLs. Upload reference image files directly to the tool instead. > AI is useful here as an accessibility tool for small organizations and independent merchants without dedicated design staff. The campaign owner remains responsible for accuracy, rights, and final creative quality. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://being-and-time.gitbook.io/boom-clap-melody-field-guide/campaign-owners/creative-and-cover-requirements.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
