“Using Canva, create a week of Instagram posts for [brand] about [theme]. Seven designs in my brand style: colors [hex], fonts [fonts]. Vary the layouts so they don't look identical. Build them all in Canva and send me the links.”
“Using Canva, turn this idea into a 7-slide Instagram carousel: [your idea]. Use my brand colors [hex] and fonts [fonts]. Strong hook on slide one, clear CTA on the last slide. Build it in Canva so I can edit it.”
- Open it and tweak by hand. Once a design lands, open it in Canva and adjust any element. Claude does the heavy lifting, you keep full control.
