Every time I turn around, there’s a new AI tool. Canva (something of a favorite of mine) recently launched its own AI tool, “Magic Design“. I thought it would be fun to experiment with a quip I thought up this morning.
Having a plan is the most effective way to avoid being swayed by the guile of marketing
So, let’s plug this in and see what comes of it, shall we? To be clear, the text above was the only thing I plugged into the prompt. (I’m using my personal version of Canva, which is the free one, so there are watermarks)
Item 1:
The first thing it came up with is a video, with a focus on planning. Kinda nice, methinks.
Item 2:
This one is a Facebook cover, with a similar motif to the first item. Again, nice.
Item 3:
Another image, this one oriented towards mobile/portrait mode.
One additional item:
Last week, I edited out the postlude from our Sunday service and created its own video on our YouTube channel (check it out here if you’re so inclined). I was feeling a bit pressed for time, so I opted for Magic Design and really liked what it zipped out. I just needed to make a few tweaks and I had something quite usable.
I like what I see so far. With more guidance, I’m confident it would give results better suited for specific needs. What do you think? Are designers going to be impacted by this technology? Or will it simply be incorporated to streamline work flow?
