How to do it
- 01
Collect five references you may use
A photo you took, a Canva element, or a note about color, type, and crop. Write what you like, not 'make it like this brand.'
- 02
Ask for a one-page brief
Ask ChatGPT for three mood words, a palette in plain language, one headline style, one body style, and what to avoid.
- 03
Build the board in Canva
Open a custom size and apply the brief. Use Magic Studio only for pieces you will review.
- 04
Export and look on a phone
If a generated image includes a fake logo or unreadable text, delete it before you show a client.
