What is the best use of ChatGPT in design?

Brief writing, idea generation, layout directions, naming options, and structured critique. It helps most when you already have clear goals and constraints.

Does ChatGPT replace design fundamentals?

No. Typography, spacing, hierarchy, and composition still decide the final quality. ChatGPT mainly speeds up thinking and iteration.

How do I get better output?

Give constraints: format, audience, brand colors, reference style, and what not to do. Then iterate with critique prompts.

2) Variation Prompt

Generate 10 layout variations for a {poster/carousel} with clear hierarchy. Provide headline styles, spacing notes, and component order.

You are my design QA. Always check: hierarchy, alignment, spacing, contrast, consistency, export size, and platform fit. Output a checklist and fixes.
