As graphic designers, we can spend hours trying to find the design aesthetic that could work for a visual
0:06
And then we need to figure out a font combination, a color palette, and then write the copy
0:15
This can take hours, if not base, for just one visual. That got me thinking and I had to test Chad GPT to see if it can help us design faster
0:29
But my main question was, can a chatbot help us create visuals and design faster
0:37
Let's find it out in this video. The goal of this video is to create an Instagram post using chat GPT and Canva
0:47
So first things first, we are going to train our chat for it to believe that it is a professional graphic designer
0:55
In this case, I want it to be specialized on social media, because I want to create an Instagram post
1:02
In your case, if you need to create a logo or another kind of visual, remember to ask the chat to be specialized in that kind of visual that you want to create
1:13
So how do you train the chat? You train it by simply providing this prompt
1:22
In my case, I sent this prompt to my chat. I said, imagine you are a
1:29
professional graphic designers specialized on social media. I'll ask you some questions to help me
1:35
craft a design. Here the chat answered, of course I'm here to help. Please go ahead and ask your
1:42
questions. I'll do my best to assist you in crafting a design for social media. This lets me know that
1:49
the chat agrees to be a professional graphic designer and provide some guidance. Before I write my question
1:58
I need to give some context to the chat. So here I am telling the chat I need to create an Instagram post for a yoga teacher
2:08
I believe this is the context. I am also giving some extra information about the yoga teacher
2:14
So I'm telling the chat she's into mindfulness and overall wellness. She wants her image to look fresh and trendy
2:22
And here is the question. What design aesthetic should I use? I'm asking this question because I want to use Canva and I want to use a template available in the library
2:35
So I would like some guidance on the aesthetic I should look for in Canva
2:41
So that's why my question is what design aesthetic should I use
2:46
Here the chat replies for a yoga teacher focused on mindfulness and overall wellness
2:52
you can consider using a design aesthetic that reflects tranquility, balance and natural elements. I think this answer is very on point. Then it says here are a few
3:04
design aesthetics that could work well for this purpose. Number one, minimalist, number two
3:11
nature inspired, number three, bohemian, number four, pastel. Then it gave us a little bit more
3:19
of information about each of the options it chose, then it is telling us. Remember to consider the target
3:26
audience preferences and the yoga teacher's branding guidelines when selecting a design aesthetic
3:33
It is also a good idea to create a mood board or gather information to visualize the
3:40
overlook and feel before starting the design process. These are very wise words, so this is showing
3:47
us that it is very important to read everything that the chat is providing in the answers
3:54
because like this we can see if the information is first accurate, if second is going to help us
4:02
and third if it's actually giving us more information that can help us create this vision
4:08
Okay, so from these four options, I think I'm going to go for the first one
4:15
So let me show you how I am going to use this information in Canva
4:20
I'm going to type the keywords that I'm interested in, so it will be minimalist and then I'm going to enter the following keywords that are going to help me find
4:31
exactly what I need. So I'm going to try to find minimalist Instagram post, but also I'm going to add the
4:39
yoga keyword to refine my results. So I'm going to type minimalist yoga, Instagram post. Hit enter and here are
4:51
the results. We have a lot of templates that are indeed minimalists and that are focused on the yoga topic
5:01
You can scroll down, I'm going to show you what else do we have in here. I really like this aesthetic
5:07
but still I would like to check the other options that the chat provided in here. So it is talking
5:13
about nature inspired and yeah like organic shapes, let me see earthy colors, green
5:21
in browns, harmonious, okay. So let me try this keyword, nature inspired
5:27
And I'm going to replace minimalist in here and hit enter. Okay, very interesting
5:33
I do see the nature element on these templates but I not really into this aesthetic so let me go for bohemian and replace nature inspired here and hit enter okay yes this one is also pretty interesting
5:52
and now let me check pastel we may get similar options as i already see a lot of pastel colors in here but let's see
6:03
what Canva has in here. So pastel yoga Instagram post. Okay yeah we have indeed
6:09
different options but these are not so different than the ones that we saw before. Let me go back to
6:17
minimalist yoga Instagram post hit enter and I believe I'm going to choose a template from this
6:26
selection. I'm going to go for this template right here. This one is actually an Instagramiamente
6:33
and this design, it is available on my Canva profile. I'm gonna leave you the link to my Canva profile in the description
6:41
and the link to this template as well. To open the template on the editor
6:46
simply click on the thumbnail and then customize this template. Now that I have selected an aesthetic and a template
6:58
I would like to generate a custom color palette for this design
7:03
So I'm going to ask the chat to provide me or to generate a color palette
7:08
Here I am again giving some context to the chat, so I'm saying okay, I'm going for a minimalist style
7:16
Now I'm asking the question, can you give me the hex codes of the color palette I should
7:22
use for these designs? Here I'm asking specifically for the hex codes instead of asking for the colors because one
7:31
color can have so many different variations. So the chat replied with this. Certainly, here's a selection
7:39
of hex codes for a minimalist color palette that can work well for your yoga teacher's Instagram
7:46
posts. Here we have a list of five different hex codes and we need to bring them to Canva
7:52
This is pretty easy. Let me show you how to do it. I have my screen split. I have the chat GPT
7:57
open on the right hand side and Canva on the left to make this process
8:01
process easier. I'm going to create a new page by clicking on this icon to add page and then I'm going to
8:09
bring this page to page number one. There you go. Now we're going to insert five different shapes to hold the
8:17
five different colors we have here. Let's go to elements and then I'm going to add a circle. Let's collapse this window
8:24
and I'm going to hold option and drag my shape to the side to do
8:31
these shapes. Okay, I need five. And now I'm going to select one of these shapes, copy the hex code on my chat, then go to the color option on this white toolbar, and then paste the hex code in this search bar
8:48
And then I'm going to select the option that says from your search. I'm going to continue the same process for the following colors
8:56
So I'm going to copy the following color, select another shape. shape, paste the hex coating here, and then select this square
9:11
I'm pretty surprised because the colors that the chat provided are pretty similar to the colors
9:19
that we already have on this design. So let me go to the grid view. We can see here the color
9:26
palette that the chat provided and here the colors that were available
9:31
on this template. Now, let me show you how to change the colors on your template pretty quick
9:37
I'm going to go to the cover page and then I'm going to change the color on this star
9:43
Going to the color option on the toolbar, let me close this search, and then I'm going to select
9:49
the dusty rose color that the chat provided. I'm clicking on this color and then I'm going to
9:55
click on change all the button that we see at the bottom of the screen. And now
10:01
the elements that had this orange color changed two dusty rows in this document
10:07
I'm going to do the same for this green. So let's go to the color option. I'm selecting the
10:14
green or the sage green that the chat provided and clicking on change all. Now we need to change
10:21
the color for the text and I'm not sure if these colors are going to work. Let me see. I may use the
10:30
white for it to have a contrast with the sage green. So let me select a text box and then
10:37
text color and let's go for the white. I'm going to click on change all. Let me see the design
10:44
Okay, the contrast in here is not working but I could change this text for the sage green
10:51
And here we still need to change these text boxes for white
11:00
we still need to change a couple of colors that were present on the original template so that
11:09
will be this pale gray in the background so i going to select the background go to the background color option and then we can either go for the soft white this one or the pale gray that the chat provided
11:24
which is this one right here. So let me go for the pale gray
11:28
I think this one is good or let me check the white. I'm going to go for the pale gray and then change all
11:34
I'm going to do the same for this shape and this arrow right here
11:40
I'm pretty happy with the result. You can see here the new aesthetic that the chat provided for me
11:48
I just would like to ask the chat if we can have a different color combination because I want to have more contrast in between the colors in the background and the text
12:01
So this is what I told the chat. This color palette has very light colors and the text is not legible. Should I change one of the
12:10
the colors of the palette or add a new one and the chat apologized it says apologies for the
12:17
inconvenience and then it provided a new color palette here we have five different colors so let me go up
12:25
i'm going to duplicate this page and i'm going to add the new colors or the new color palette
12:31
in these five different shapes to see the new color palette that the chat is suggesting
12:40
Now that I have my new color palette in here, let's try it out
12:47
I'm going to remove or delete the first page to be able to add these colors faster
12:54
Now I'm going to use this new color palette and I'm going to try a different color combination
12:59
on this design to see what we can come up with. I'm going to do this process really fast because you already know how to do it so I'll see you in a couple of
13:10
of seconds. Here is my design with the new color palette that the chat provided
13:24
I didn't use the green color. I thought it was sufficient with these four colors right here
13:30
And now I would like to use a different font on this design and that's what I asked the
13:36
chat. What font combination should I use? And then, it replied for a heading or title font which is montserrat we also have the font for the body text
13:49
and then we have an accent font which is optional but it's good to have this information at hand
13:56
let me go and use these fonts in canva okay so we have montserrat we're going to select this title
14:04
font go to the font menu and paste montserrat on my search bar here we have the
14:10
Montserrat font I'm going to change all and then going below to change the body text font for Roboto
14:24
we almost have these carousel ready we have the colors we have the font combinations
14:30
and now we need to work on the text or the copy of the design
14:40
coming back to the chat, I'm going to provide some context, so I need to create an Instagram
14:47
carousel that contains five pages, including cover and final page. I could provide three tips
14:54
in it, what it should be about. Remember that the chat has been trained and it knows that we are
15:00
working for a yoga teacher. And this is the reply it gave me. For your Instagram carousel with
15:06
five pages, including a cover and final page, you can focus on providing valuable tips related to
15:13
mindfulness, wellness, and yoga. Remember that I was the one who provided these keywords to the chat
15:20
So it is pretty cool to see that the chat is coming back with these words. And it is saying
15:26
here's a suggestion for the content of each page. Okay, cover page, introduce the carousel
15:33
page one mindful breathing technique page two morning yoga routine page three self-care ritual
15:41
and final page call to action and contact information i really love this guidance so let's work
15:48
on our design with this information i'm going to delete my first page with the color palette
15:54
because we don't need it anymore so delete page let me close the grid view so i can start working
16:01
on the design i'm going to use the copy that the chat provided. I'm going to copy and paste it in here just for the sake of this tutorial
16:10
but I do recommend that you work with this text that the chat is providing as a base
16:17
and then you add your personal touch, you can change it, you can adapt it for your brand, your brand voice
16:24
and also it is very important that you check if the information is correct
16:30
Not everything that the chat is saying is true. So it's better to double check
16:41
I already changed the titles on this design and we need to start working on the body text
16:48
I would like to create some text that fits perfectly on this design so I need to first check how many characters we have on this body text So I going to copy this text and then I going to ask chat GPD how many characters are in
17:05
this text, paste it and hit enter. And then the chat says there are 154 characters
17:12
Now that we have this information, I'm going to ask the chat to write a mindful breathing
17:17
technique tip for a balanced life in 154 characters. or less. We have our copy here. Remember that I'm copy and pasting just for the sake of this tutorial
17:29
and then pasting the text in this text box. Moving on to the next page, I'm going to ask the chat to create a
17:37
text for this body text and for the following page. Now we are on the closing page of the Carousel
17:44
Remember that the chat told us to add a call to action to this page. So here I am asking
17:52
the chat to write a short call to action to invite followers to sign up for a yoga class
17:58
I'm asking it to make it short because it's for the last page of the carousel
18:04
I believe the chat took as base the previous prompts in which we were creating copy with
18:11
154 characters or less and it provided a call to action of 129 characters, which is very long
18:21
for these three text boxes that we have in here. So I'm going to go ahead and create my own call to action
18:28
I think this is going to save more time. We are almost done with this carousel, with this design
18:41
and I have one last question. Should I add any texture or pattern to the
18:51
the design and this is what the chat replied. Adding texture or pattern to the design can enhance visual interest or depth depending on the
19:00
specific aesthetic you are aiming for. Here are few considerations to help you decide
19:06
So we have a minimalist approach, nature inspired and bohemian or artistic vibes
19:13
After reading this reply, I found some keywords that were speaking to me
19:19
So I saw that we can try some subtle botanical patterns. So let me try and copy this keyword and let's go to the elements section and search for
19:30
botanical pattern. Hit enter. I'm going to go to graphics and see all
19:35
Here we have plenty of options that we can use on our design
19:40
Some of them are free to use and some are available for Canva Pro users
19:46
This pattern that I'm going to use is available for Canva Pro users. users and if you are a Canva free user and would love to try this pattern right here and all of the Canva Pro
19:57
features you can use our affiliate link you can have 45 days of Canva Pro for free the link is in the
20:04
description i'm going to use this pattern right here and remember that the chat said to use subtle
20:12
patterns because we are still working on a minimal design so i have this pattern
20:19
and I can make it more subtle by changing its color and also adding some transparency
20:25
So I want to add this pattern to the background. Let me right click, go to layer and then send to back
20:33
By having the pattern selected, I'm going to go to color and change the color so it is a more subtle color
20:41
Now I'm going to add some transparency. And then I'm going to right click on the color
20:49
this element, copy, go to page number two and paste it. I'm going to change the color on this element
20:56
in here because I want this element to be in the background. So first, let's go to more, layer
21:03
send to back, and then I'm going to change the color. I think I'm going to go for the light gray
21:08
And then I'm going to continue the same process. The next page, the background, is gray. So I'm going
21:15
back to page number one, copy the pattern, go to page. number three and paste here the pattern. Remember to put it in the back and then following the same
21:27
process for the following pages. Now if you ask me can a chatbot help us create visuals? I can
21:34
say definitely yes. And now if you ask me can a chatbot help us design faster? Yes indeed
21:42
In this case for this Instagram carousel instead of taking me about two to three hours it took me a
21:49
about seven minutes. In this video of course it took us a little longer because I was describing
21:56
the process and giving you some tips here and there, but it definitely made my work easier and
22:03
help me design faster. Now what do you think about using chat GPT for this purpose
22:09
Are you going to use some of these prompts to create your own visuals
22:14
