Planning Text-Heavy Images: A Layout Brief Template for Qwen Image 3.0 Posters, infographics, storyboard sheets and mock interface screens all have one thing in common: the words matter as much as the picture. A beautiful poster with a misspelled headline is unusable, and an infographic with labels in the wrong boxes is worse than none. Image models that handle typography and structured layouts make this kind of work possible, but they still depend on a clear brief. This guide offers a layout brief template for text-heavy images, built around the published workflow for Qwen Image 3.0 in the Wan 3.0 image workspace.

What the model is designed for The Qwen Image 3.0 page describes a four-mode image workflow for realistic visuals, structured layouts, detailed materials and readable typography. You choose standard or Pro text-to-image, or edit with one to three reference images in standard or Pro image-to-image, then export at 1K or 2K as PNG or JPEG. The capabilities section highlights rich content and complex layouts: using detailed prompts to
organise headlines, paragraphs, panels, diagrams, tables and visual elements for newspapers, storyboards, reports, interfaces and infographics. It also mentions multilingual text for education, publishing, commerce and international campaigns. According to the FAQ, the workspace supports prompts up to 5,000 characters, one to three source images for image-to-image, supported aspect ratios, 1K or 2K output, PNG or JPEG, prompt enhancement, negative prompts and seeds.
Why a template helps The page's how-to step for describing the visual asks you to define the subject, composition, text, hierarchy, materials, lighting, style, language and intended use. That is nine separate decisions. Writing them as one paragraph makes it easy to forget one, or to bury the exact wording of a headline in the middle of a style description. A template keeps each decision in its own slot.

Two rules make the biggest difference: put every visible word in quotation marks, and say explicitly which text is most important. Without a hierarchy, every line competes for attention.
Turning the template into a prompt Once filled in, convert the template into a prompt by writing the slots in order as full sentences, starting with the intended use and format, then the exact text and hierarchy, then the visual. Keeping text instructions early makes them harder to lose in a long description. The page's configuration step mentions prompt enhancement, a negative prompt and a seed. For text-heavy images, a negative prompt can be used to exclude things that clutter layouts, such as extra decorative lettering. A fixed seed helps when you want to compare two versions that differ
only in wording.

Editing with references If you already have a design, image-to-image with one to three reference images lets you carry a subject, composition or look into a new version. The page describes iterative editing that keeps context: refining an existing result over multiple reference-led passes while preserving identity, style and defining details. For text-heavy work, a practical use is localisation. Keep the layout and illustration from an approved poster as a reference, and change only the exact-text slot to a new language. Change
nothing else in that pass, so any layout shift can be traced to the new text.
Review: read every word The page's final step asks you to check typography, layout, identity, texture, composition and information detail. For text-heavy images, make the review explicit: 1. Read every word aloud against your exact-text slot. Check spelling, numbers and punctuation. 2. Check the hierarchy: is the title clearly the largest element? 3. Check alignment and spacing between text blocks. 4. Check that the subject does not cover any text. 5. For diagrams and tables, check that every label sits in the right place. Anything that must be 100 percent accurate in print, such as dates, prices or legal lines, is worth confirming in your normal design tool before publishing.

Summary • Fill in nine slots before writing a prompt: use, format, language, exact text, hierarchy, composition, subject, style, light. • Quote every visible word and state the hierarchy. • Put text instructions early in the prompt.
• Use references for localisation, changing one slot per pass. • Read every word in the result before using it. A layout brief takes a few minutes and turns a text-heavy image from a gamble into a checkable design task.
