Mise-en-Scène: Implicit Layout Emergence in Diffusion Transformers for Human-AI Design Co-Creation
Automating graphic design synthesis from user-provided elements requires both a coherent overall composition and the exact preservation of each asset. Existing methods predict a layout as explicit bounding-box coordinates with a language model and then paste the assets into it, which separates spatial planning from visual synthesis and tends to produce rigid, mis-scaled compositions. We instead ask whether the layout can emerge implicitly inside a pretrained image-editing diffusion transformer. We present Mise-en-Scène, a two-stage framework. In the first stage, a diffusion transformer adapted
