Summer Flash-Sale EDM Banner Image Prompt Template

Objective: Turn a detailed summer fashion flash-sale email brief into a reusable, snippet-driven image prompt that produces a full-bleed, mobile-first EDM mockup with no outer white frame.

How the Base Prompt Was Formed

• Locked the canvas rule first: the design must fill every pixel so generators do not add a surrounding white mat.
• Split brand-constant language (logo lockup, terracotta palette, resort voice) into snippets so the same template can serve later collections.
• Turned changeable campaign facts (discount, headline, hero pose, product grid, CTA label) into short variables.
• Grouped photography direction (golden hour beach, linen outfits, tropical leaf overlays, sand-grain texture) under Background, Visual design, and Style so lighting and mood stay consistent.
• Moved legal and utility copy (preheader, footer address, unsubscribe, social icons) into one footer snippet to keep every render compliant.
• Preserved mobile-first proportions and sans-serif hierarchy as fixed Style language rather than one-off instructions.
