Quick Start

Before you start

To make output consistent, prepare the following:

• Deliverable type & size: deck (16:9 / 4:3), e-commerce hero image (800×800), detail page (750px width), etc.
• Brand rules: primary/secondary colors, fonts, logo, common button/tag styles
• Content & assets: selling points, product images, pricing, campaign timing, competitor references

Create a design task

1. Pick a goal: PPT only / e-commerce design / campaign posters
2. Define pages or slide count: e.g. “12-slide pitch deck” or “1 hero image + 1 long detail page”
3. Write a checklist: topic, audience, top 3 messages, must-have elements

Put this as the project brief at the top of the task. When requirements change, update the brief and reuse the same workflow.

Structure before styling

The fastest way to reliable output is to lock structure before aesthetics:

• Define hierarchy first: clear priorities for headline/subhead/body/highlights
• Set grid and spacing: consistent margins, columns, and block spacing
• Apply visual style last: colors, typography, illustrations/icons, shadows and radius

Create variations quickly

Once structure is stable, exploration becomes cheap:

• Change one variable at a time: color, font, or imagery style—so comparisons are clear
• Template what repeats: headers, buttons, price cards, spec tables—then swap content
• Batch replace: generate SKU/campaign variants from the same layout

Export & handoff

Before handoff, do a quick checklist:

• Alignment: headlines, card edges, buttons, and icons
• Consistency: type scale, weights, line-height, radius, shadows
• Readability: key info remains clear on mobile and projectors
