Streamline Your Code with OpenAI: Cut Development Time by Half

If your prompt is vague, the result is generic. If your style direction isn’t defined, it defaults to whatever the model thinks is “good design.” Which usually means safe and trend-driven.

The better results came when I had the opportunity to art direct it or design a draft reference that I could use to guide the results.

And typography? Still hard, nailing intentional type systems is another story.

Are you using AI… or is AI designing for you?

Curious. do you usually sketch a rough type system first before prompting? Typography still feels like the real battleground.

For FlowAI I designed a "How it Works" section that breaks the entire product down into 3 simple steps. No jargon. No confusion. Just a clear visual story that takes the visitor from problem to solution in seconds.

The goal was to make AI feel simple, approachable, and worth trying.

This is what good SaaS design does — it sells the product before the user even signs up.

I’ve been testing AI tools to generate packaging concepts.

Here’s my honest take: AI is powerful, but only if you are clear.

If your prompt is vague, the result is generic. If your style direction isn’t defined, it defaults to whatever the model thinks is “good design.” Which usually means safe and trend-driven.

The better results came when I had the opportunity to art direct it or design a draft reference that I could use to guide the results.
