I've been using Designer for months to create banners/images for my newsletter, LinkedIn posts, and TikTok carousel posts (I generate unique background images and put text over it).
1. Start from AI vs start from template:
My aha moment was when I was generating an image about salary negotiation for LinkedIn. I didn't like any of the templates and stock images I found on other tools - they felt stale and corporate, and I'd feel cringy posting them on LinkedIn. Then, on a whim, I opened Designer and typed "illustration of a cute and timid hamster negotiating their salary" and it generated something so whimsical and "me"! What's so powerful about AI-native design is that you can start from combinations that have never existed before (e.g., cute hamster + negotiating salary). Try it out here: https://designer.microsoft.com/i...
2. How Designer helps my content creation process:
It's soo much faster for me to generate something *that represents my aesthetic* by generating images on Designer vs digging through hundreds of templates and stock images. My content also performs better because the images are unique.
3. Designer vs other image generation tools:
I put the exact same prompt into Designer, Firefly, Ideogram, etc and the results from Designer are much closer to my vision of what I wanted. @aaslesha_rajaram whatever prompt wrappers you're using...they're working so well!
4. My favorite feature:
I like selecting an element of the design and then tweaking it. For example, I generated a greeting card with hot air balloons and I really liked one particular hot air balloon, so I selected it, duplicated it, and arranged it to get exactly what I wanted.
