Episode notes
AI Designs Tend to Feel Generic
- AI-generated designs often start very generic and similar across platforms.
- To avoid generic results, you must customize fonts, animations, and images creatively beyond the first AI output.
Use Templates and Prompt Builders
- Start creating AI designs using references, templates, and examples rather than blank prompts.
- Use prompt builders to combine layout, style, and typography vocabulary for better AI outcomes.
AI Needs Human Refinement
- AI is great for generating initial drafts but slow or limited with complex consistent designs.
- Manual tweaking remains essential to refine fonts, spacing, and colors for uniqueness and quality.
