Turn a title and hook into a set of genuinely different on-brand thumbnail prompts, rotating distinct layouts against accent colours, with the traps that ruin AI-generated thumbnails built in. Use when generating several thumbnail or cover-image options for one piece of content, when every AI thumbnail comes back looking the same, when on-image text renders wrong, or when setting up a repeatable thumbnail system for a channel.

# Thumbnail Set Designer Ask an image generator for seven thumbnails and you get seven versions of one idea, because nothing told it to be different. This turns a title and a hook into a set of specific, deliberately unlike prompts, and carries the traps that otherwise cost you a whole generation run. Pair it with `thumbnail-legibility-check` to choose between the results. ## When to use - Generating several thumbnail or cover-image options for one piece of content. - Every option coming back as a variation of the same composition. - On-image text rendering wrong. - Building a repeatable system rather than making one thumbnail. ## Step 1: plan the set ```bash python scripts/rotation.py "Your video title" --count 7 ``` Standard library only, `--json` for machine output. It pairs seven distinct layouts against rotating accent colours, seeded from the title so the same subject always produces the same plan. **The layouts and colours in the script are a neutral starting set, not a house style.** Replace `LAYOUTS` and `COLOURWAYS` with your own before real use. What matters is the shape of the system: - **Distinct means the eye lands somewhere different**, not that the crop moved. A face-left layout and a face-right layout are one layout. - **One accent per image**, rotating across the set, so a channel looks like one channel while individual videos stay distinguishable. - **Determinism over randomness.** A seeded rotation is reproducible and debuggable.
