Texture shot
A 'texture shot': the brand's own macro photograph of the formula in a big round window ringed like a lens, beside the product's name and how it feels in three large italic words — whipped, weightless, non-sticky — with its finish on a pill. Lets people almost touch it through the screen.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Texture shot for posts that get people to act, teach or announce news, when the message is one product in the spotlight, one sharp insight or a list. It is built first to get people to act.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Made for Beauty & personal care. The Director offers it only to brands of that kind, so it never turns up for a business it does not suit.

Single image. Each size is laid out for its canvas, not cropped; the sample above is the 4:5 version.
What it needs
The Director offers it only when these exist. Without them it simply picks another template.
- A real photo or screenshot of your product
- One of your own photos
The sample shows a text-free stand-in where the screens go; MarketiQ only ever places real screens of your own app or website.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Texture words and finish are the post's own; the photo is the brand's real macro of the formula.
- Sensory, not medical: no claims about results the post does not make.
Visual rules
- A soft brand-tinted ground; the brand's own macro photo in a large circle (centred on portrait, bleeding off the right edge on square and landscape), ringed by a thin line and a dashed outer ring like a lens.
- A spaced-caps label, the product in a serif, then two or three big italic serif texture words (the first in the brand colour) and a deep brand finish pill; logo and website at the foot.
