Prompt engineering for design with Sivi
From display ads to social media posts, Sivi generates stunning designs instantly. By crafting clear and effective prompts, you can enable Sivi to generate copy and assets which in turn will be used by Sivi to generate designs. This guide helps you unlock the potential of Sivi through easy and intuitive prompt engineering.
Getting started with prompts
Prompt is a short description that tells the Sivi about the copy that needs to be generated for your visual content. You can find the prompt input field on Sivi’s homepage. A basic prompt can be as simple as adding your product/brand name and description, and choosing the design purpose and dimensions that are present above the prompt input filed.
Advanced prompts
A basic prompt is a good starting point, but with detailed prompts you can generate designs customized for your brand. This includes adding detailed subject description, image, color, and logo along with the purpose and design dimensions.
Best practices in prompting
Do’s
Select design purpose, medium and dimensions:
By default Sivi will choose these for you. But to generate specific designs, select design purpose based on your intent, and choose medium and dimensions based on platform and needs.
Choose language:
As you type in your language, Sivi automatically identifies it. There are instance where it can wrongly detect a language. Feel free to change it here
Add assets:
Customize further by adding your brand assets such as image, logo and color. This will generate designs that adhere to your brand needs.
Be specific:
Add clear and concise text prompt to let Sivi understand your needs and generate content and design accordingly. This includes adding clear description of subject, offer, features etc.
Don’ts
Dimensions in prompt area:
Don’t add the design dimensions in the prompt field. Required dimensions and design purpose should only be added to Sivi through the design purpose and medium and dimensions drop down.
Not an image/logo generator:
Currently, Sivi does not generate logos or images; it generates designs such as product & service promotions, marketing collaterals, business visuals. Design is composition of vectors, text, images, logos and colors.
Website URL:
Sivi cannot fetch the content from the website url in prompt field. Instead, Sivi visualizer chrome extension can be used to extract content from a webpage.
While this guide jumpstarts your design journey with prompt engineering, we encourage you to explore further. For further fine-tuning, you can customize the content in the content editor. It is as simple as writing in a word document. You can know more about content-input engineering here.
