Describing a project

Writing a prompt for Autodesigner should be creative and fun, but we understand that it may be challenging at times. That's why we're here to help you with the ingredients for the magic potion of success when writing your prompt! ๐Ÿ“œ

1) Specify whether you want an app (or web app in desktop) or website to avoid surprises ๐ŸŒ

If you want an app:

  • โœ… - "A web app to track invoices"

  • ๐Ÿšซ - "A website to track invoices"

If you want a website:
โ€‹

  • โœ… - "A website to order food"

2) Add some specifics, for example:

  • โœ… - "A landing page for a design tool SaaS"

  • ๐Ÿšซ - "Design tool website"

3) Let Autodesigner work its magic! Don't be too controlling and leave room for creativity. ๐Ÿง™ Autodesigner usually won't follow strict guidelines, such as the number of screens, specific flows, or placement of components:

  • โœ… - "A landing page for a design tool"

  • ๐Ÿšซ - "A landing page for a design tool with a big title centered in the screen that says" โ€œThe best design toolโ€, with a glowing button that says signup (โ€ฆ)"

4) Focus on your design end goal, not specific screens and flows as this could lead to inconsistent behavior. Autodesigner is designed to create simple flows from your idea๐Ÿ’ก

Describing a design style

Thinking of inspiration and keywords when writing your prompt is half the fun! Draw inspiration from other companies, colors, and adjectives ๐ŸŽจ

Here are some tips to get the best results when using tags and text in your design style prompt:

1) Come up with the initial thoughts of what you want your app or website design to look like!

2) Use tags as much as possible:

  • โœ… - Young, Light, Modern

  • ๐Ÿšซ - Avoid selecting conflicting tags (e.g. Light and Dark).

3) These are some things you can try when using free text:

  • Try adding extra adjectives: (e.g. gloomy, serious, fresh, chill)

  • Mention big companies' styles (e.g. Airbnb, Facebook, Netflix, Microsoft, etc.)

  • Use colors (e.g. pink, red, blue)

  • Mention specific styles (e.g. without borders, rounded, with shadows)

  • Use nouns commonly associated with a color (e.g. sky, avocado, plant).

4) Here are some examples of good prompts:

  • โœ… - "Gloomy and red"

  • โœ… - "Rounded with sunset color"

  • โœ… - "Like Airbnb with eggplant color"

  • โœ… - "Google but more corporate"

We can't wait to see what you come up with and how your design will look ๐Ÿคฉ
