Visuals with Canva and image tools
Connect Canva so Claude finds, duplicates and resizes the template set, then generate only the images that are honest to generate.
The design half of the job
Noor spends about four hours a week in Canva, and most of it is not design. It is finding last month's carousel template, duplicating it, swapping four lines of text, then resizing the same layout into a story, a feed post and a LinkedIn banner. That is the part to hand over.
Connect Canva and Claude can search the team's designs by name, open a template, duplicate it and produce the platform sizes. Noor still decides what the thing looks like. She stops doing the clicking.
Try this
Find the Canva design called Lumen carousel template in the Lumen team. Duplicate it, replace the four headline slides with the text I am pasting below, keep the brand kit fonts and colours, and give me the set resized for Instagram feed, Instagram story and LinkedIn. List anything you could not change and why. [paste the four headlines]
I need a single graphic for the gym's January challenge post. Write the design brief I will build in Canva: layout in three parts, what goes in each, the exact text with character counts, the two brand colours to use and where, and the one image I need to shoot. Keep every line of text readable at thumbnail size on a phone.
What is safe to generate
| Generate | Never generate |
|---|---|
| Backgrounds, textures, patterns | Real people, staff or customers |
| Abstract product mockups | Any med spa result or before and after |
| Icons, simple illustrations | Your client's actual premises or food |
| Layout reference images | Anything used as proof of a claim |
The rule underneath the table is simple. Generated images are fine when they decorate and dishonest when they document. A terracotta texture behind a taco chain headline decorates. A generated plate of birria documents food nobody can order.
Generate a vertical background for a story post: soft terracotta and cream, a subtle paper texture, no text, no people, no food, plenty of clear space in the top two thirds for a headline. Flat and graphic rather than photographic.
