## What you will build

Generate a single campaign illustration through BytePlus ModelArk and save the output file.

## 1. Before you start

Set `ARK_API_KEY` and `ARK_IMAGE_MODEL` to a Seedream model ID or inference endpoint available to your account.

## 2. Try the task

Save as `seedream_image.py`.

## 3. Check the result

Rename the file according to its content type and inspect the returned dimensions.

## 4. Troubleshooting

- Model access and API-key access are separate things to check when a request is rejected.
- Supported sizes and batch-generation features differ across Seedream versions.
- Preserve any per-result error details instead of assuming an HTTP success guarantees an image URL.
- If download fails after generation succeeds, retry retrieval before spending on another generation.

## 5. Try it on your task

Change the prompt to a campaign concept for your product, keeping the same number of subjects and palette.

Keep a small evaluation sheet alongside the image: the exact prompt, model or endpoint, requested dimensions, actual dimensions, elapsed time and whether the file met your brief.

For a second attempt, change one instruction and keep the rest of the brief fixed.
