Flat lay content lives or dies by composition: clean top-down perspective, believable spacing, consistent shadows, and styling that feels intentional. On Influencer Studio, Grok Imagine and Nano Banana Pro both handle flat lays well, but they excel in different parts of the workflow—concept exploration vs marketing-ready polish.
Below is a practical comparison focused on top-down arranged scenes (beauty, food, stationery, tech, fashion accessories), including how each model handles detail, text on packaging, and resolution needs for social posts and product pages.
Flat Lay — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Top-down flat lay on a light oak café table: a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair leans into the edge of the overhead phone shot, looking up toward the camera with a relaxed half-smile, wearing a cream knit sweater and simple gold hoops. A balanced, casual spread includes an iced latte, croissant on parchment, lipstick, wireless earbuds, sunglasses, a small notebook with messy handwriting, and a phone showing a TikTok draft screen; soft window daylight, slightly imperfect “real life” placement like an Instagram story. Clean surface, minimal crumbs, natural colors, candid approachable vibe (not editorial)."
