  • {{brand_style}}: Your brand's visual style (e.g., "minimalist, pastel colors").

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Provide 5–7 specific design tips tailored to the {{platform}} and {{topic}}.
  3. Recommend a color palette and typography choices that align with {{brand_style}} and enhance readability.
  4. Suggest layout ideas, including composition, imagery, and text placement.
  5. Give examples of effective graphics for similar content, describing what makes them work.
