AI Changing the Design Workflow
How do content and design interact? AI is blurring the lines for creators and making it easy to visualize written content early on in a project.
I was working on a new page outlining our AI services for our website, then I turned to Subframe to turn the first draft into a web page.
A process that has taken hours pre-AI, is now done in minutes.
I recorded a complete video that shows the process. But here are the steps to follow:
- Take some content you have written for the web
- Create a free account with Subframe
- Select one of the suggested design systems to start with
- Create a prompt outlining how you imagine the web page, including some of your written content.
- Select one of the selected designs and improve further by prompting about specific improvements you would like to make
- Publish the result for feedback, hand it over to a designer, or move the design over to an AI coding tool like Replit.
