This guide explains how to decide the rules of a brand visual bible: what supports identity, what may vary by collection and how to approve an exception. Establish the direction criteria before filling in a template.
What to check before deciding
- Model casting and attitude.
- Light, background, framing and camera distance.
- Styling rules by category.
- Color, texture and detail treatment.
- Approved examples and forbidden examples.
To record these decisions in a working document, use Visual bible template for AI fashion photos and video.

Virtual talent and commercial intent
DELFI translates virtual-talent direction into production decisions. A visual bible should explain brand identity and shoppers’ needs, not merely collect attractive references.
DELFI is an AI virtual talent agency focused on online sales. Proprietary virtual models and licensed celebrity digital clones connect with physical garments, visual direction, production and human review.
How to make it practical
As a management rule, document every learning. A mature AI production does not depend on one inspired person, but on visible rules the team can reuse. Approvals, rejections, metrics and well-written comments are the system's quiet fuel.
Practical rule
If a visual rule cannot be applied in production, it is branding poetry. Nice, but slippery. DELFI makes it operable.
How to handle a collection exception
If a campaign needs different lighting or acting, record the rule being changed, the affected pieces and who approved it. Keep the catalog rule in effect elsewhere. A creative exception should not accidentally become the new direction for the whole brand.
In the final review, it is better to judge consistency across the collection, not only one isolated asset.
A visual rule that supports approval
Instead of “restrained aesthetic,” specify an observable combination: soft light from the agreed direction, a reference background, consistent body scale, poses that reveal closures and a contained expression. Keep an approved and a rejected example with reasons.
List what may vary between catalog and campaign. Hypothetical example: a campaign permits more movement and another scene, while product, chosen identity and reference-supported color remain invariant.
Record each guide change’s version and owner. Do not replace a collection-wide rule through isolated feedback without reviewing affected assets. Casting consistency across collections.
