Get a Starting Point for Any Design Project
Describe your project and get back concrete visual direction ideas — layout approaches, color moods, and style references to explore.
What is the Design Ideas Generator?
The Design Ideas Generator takes a brief description of a page, brand, or campaign and returns a set of visual direction ideas: layout approaches, color and typography moods, imagery styles, and reference points to explore. It's built for the early brainstorming stage, before you open a design tool and commit to pixels.
It won't produce final designs, but it gives you language and direction to work from — useful when you're facing a blank canvas or need to explain a visual concept to a client or teammate before mockups exist.

Tips that improve results
- Give real tone words, not just 'modern' — specificity produces sharper directions.
- Ask for multiple directions and compare them rather than accepting the first idea.
- Use the output as a brief for your designer, not a replacement for one.
- Reference your existing brand assets so suggestions stay on-brand.
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Expecting finished visual designs instead of direction and language to build from.
- Ignoring brand consistency when picking a direction that feels novel but off-brand.
- Skipping stakeholder input before committing to one direction.
