3 Prompts So Your AI Designs Don't Look AI

Three prompts I use on every design: kill the defaults, give it rules, then the picky art director pass.

A code by Jenn Miranda. Comment TASTE on any @jadele.ai post and it comes to your DMs.

AI doesn't have taste… so you hand it yours. Use these three in order, in the same chat, on any flyer, post, logo or web page.

1. Kill the defaults
Before you design anything, list the 5 most generic choices an AI would make for this (colors, fonts, layout, images, wording). Then avoid every one of them and tell me what you chose instead.
2. Give it rules
Design this with these rules: two fonts only, [heading font] and [body font]. Colors: [paste your hex codes]. Use [accent color] for one thing only, no more than twice. Lots of white space. One clear focal point. No gradients, no stock icons, no emoji.
3. The picky art director
Act as a picky art director. Point out the 3 things that make this design look AI-made, then fix them. Show me the before and after, and explain each change in one sentence.

Quick taste check

  • Could another brand post this unchanged? If yes, it needs more of you.
  • Squint at it. Do you see one thing first? That's your focal point.
  • Two fonts, your real colors, one accent. That's what makes it look intentional.

Your IRL coolness should match your online presence.
