AI Content Guidelines

Overview

Cavan accepts AI-generated content, as long as it meets our quality, legal, and technical standards.

Requirements

1. You must use the latest version of Midjourney - We are not accepting other programs at this time.
2. Choose the AI submission path
3. Cavan Pros must be opted into micro. (All free Cavan accounts are already opted-in to micro)
4. Illustrate known clients needs - Creative Briefs can be found here
5. Carefully select images with unique value and illustrate the creative briefs.
6. Maintain high quality. AI often gets the rendering of anatomy and other aspects wrong. Look out for common mistakes.
7. AI content depicting a real person or private property must have a proper release. (See below)

Things To Avoid

• Don't submit bad AI renders - This is the number one reason for rejected AI content. Make sure there are no badly rendered parts, like hands, teeth, weird proportions, and other common AI mistakes. Repeated mistakes can get your account closed, so please check your work carefully.
• Don't submit works of "newsworthy events" and do not tag content with current event tags - AI is not real and can not depict the news.
• AI will occasionally generate real logos, make sure to retouch those out.
• Don't iterate or generate from other people's AI works. Start from your own unique prompts.
• Don't describe, keyword or depict subjects or locations in ways that may mislead buyers. For example, do not use the keyword photography, or don't create a beach shot and say it's Fuji, Bora Bora, and the Caribbean. You can pick one and carefully create content relevant to the actual place, but it can't be two places at once.
• Don't spam the submission with multiple variations of the same prompt. Submit unique and relevant content. AI outputs are infinite. Part of the art of using AI is carefully curating the results. Read our Spam Guidelines here.

Cultural Appropriation

• Be very careful with cultural appropriation in AI, especially when you get into traditions and traditional dress that have spiritual or religious meaning, or when it becomes an offensive stereotype. Content of this type will not be accepted in our collection or partner collections. AI, most often, does not render important factors of these situations correctly and having them incorrect can, in some cases, be offensive. Content of this type should be avoided.

Model & Property Release Requirements for Real People & Private Property

Any AI content that depicts, is based on, or is intended to portray an identifiable person or private property requires a release. For example, if you prompt AI with a photo, or the name of, a real person or private property, you need a release. Learn more about releases.
