Design Skills With the Help of AI Tools
- October 17, 2023
In the crowded social platforms, creating visually interesting graphics is today a potent way to win. The thing is, though, that not every marketer has professional design skills. Good news, then: modern-day AI tools have made it easier than ever to produce graphics like pros, even with minimal training.
It will review proven techniques for creating eye-catching social posts, stories, ads, and more in ways even non-designers can follow. We will also discuss how AI continues to enhance the creative process through sourcing ideas and streamlining graphic production.
Brainstorm with Stock Photos
Unsplash Sites among others have huge free libraries from which one can derive concepts. Go through curated photographs in your niche, and these may lead to graphic ideas that you can expand on further.
A clothing brand specializing in outdoor gear would find this picture inspiring a series of promotional posts on activities where such clothes are worn. AI can now help with the suggestion of images automatically.
Use Visual Inspiration
Pinterest is stuffed with highly designed graphics on every subject. Save inspiring post boards to your account for ongoing inspiration about style.
Reverse-engineer the aesthetics you love or emulate trends, and over time, you raise the quality of the things you make. The AI even spots visual elements such as color, fonts, and composition that are trending across platforms.
Template It Out
Graphic design templates pre-formatted to the dimensions for social media save a lot of time fiddling with layouts manually. Browse stock sites and graphic repositories like Placeit or Canva for completely customizable ready-made frames such as:
Product shots
Promo banners
Instagram story slides
Quote images
Video thumbnail templates
Drag in your images, logos, and text – AI generates options tailored to your brand, needs, and industry.
Let AI Write for You
Applications like Tailwind also provide AI-generated writing suggestions on social, optimized by parameters like brand, topic, and tone of voice. Saving you from having to draft low-quality copy from scratch while still keeping it brand authentic.
For example, provide an outdoor company sponsoring a hike to an AI app, and it may automatically develop interesting event invitation copy to share on social media. The technology continues to evolve to better hear the subtleties of the brand voices.
Overlay Imagery Well
Adding the branded elements, promotional text, or illustrations can all be enhanced by a basic understanding of image editing with free tools such as Pixlr in making the graphics visually appealing.
AI overlay generators can now do it all themselves. Tell a program what element you want, upload your assets, and then let programs layer everything beautifully according to best practices for design. Then, just keep on experimenting and refining.
Using AI puts superpowers in the hands of any marketer: even people with no design background can create fantastic, business-bolstering graphics that will make people go wow! Focus on clever ideas, let innovative technology do its magic in production, and watch for those great graphics to follow.
