This guide is for you if you are

  • Learning design

    You want ChatGPT to help with ideas, copy and learning instead of giving generic answers.

  • Running social media or freelancing

    You need captions, a content plan and client emails, and never have enough time for all of it.

  • Starting from scratch every time

    Every new chat begins with explanations, and you have no set of prompts that work.

In short

  • ChatGPT supports many languages, so you can write both the interface and prompts in yours.
  • A working prompt formula: role + task + context + answer format + tone.
  • Split a complex task into several prompts and ask for several options, not one "perfect" answer.
  • Move rules you repeat into Custom Instructions or project instructions.
  • Everyday text chats are unlimited on the Free plan, but file uploads and image creation have separate limits.

30 prompts for designers and creators

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Ideas and concepts: 6 prompts

    OpenAI recommends writing to ChatGPT as if you were giving a task to a person: what to do, why, for whom and in what form. For ideation it's especially useful to ask for several options and compare them rather than wait for one brilliant answer. Swap in your own project for the examples in brackets:

    • "Give me 10 visual style concepts for [a coffee shop near a university]. For each: a name, 3 keywords, a 4-color palette and why it suits students";
    • "Suggest 15 names for [a book-swapping app]: short and easy to say in Ukrainian and English. Mark which might be taken as common words";
    • "Describe a moodboard for [a pottery classes landing page] in words: 8 frames, what's in each, what light, what textures";
    • "I have an idea for [a short film festival poster]. Suggest 5 unexpected metaphors that can be shown without text";
    • "Here are my three logo concepts as descriptions: [description]. Play an art director: which is strongest, which is weakest and why";
    • "Ask me 7 questions that will help me find an idea for [my own brand identity], one at a time".

    💡 The last prompt flips the roles: ChatGPT asks, you answer. It works well when you don't yet know what you want.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Brand and social copy: 6 prompts

    The easiest way to set tone is with adjectives: OpenAI explicitly suggests words like friendly, formal, professional or humorous. Add length limits and a format so the answer can go straight into a layout or a post:

    • "Write 10 taglines for [a yoga studio in Kyiv]: up to 6 words, warm and unpretentious, without the words 'energy' and 'harmony'";
    • "Here's a project description: [text]. Turn it into an Instagram caption: a hooky first sentence, then 3 short paragraphs, ending with a question to the audience";
    • "Make a 2-week content plan for [an illustrator's account]: date, format (post, story, carousel), topic, goal. As a table";
    • "Write copy for a 5-slide carousel '[5 mistakes in a designer's portfolio]': a headline up to 8 words and an explanation up to 25 words per slide";
    • "Here's my 'About me' text for my website: [text]. Cut it in half, make it livelier and remove the bureaucratic wording";
    • "Give 3 tone options for [a board game shop] brand, describe each in three words and show how the same greeting would sound".

    💡 Read generated copy aloud. Models sometimes produce word-for-word calques, and it's better to catch them before publishing than in the comments.

    Step 3

    Clients and team: 6 prompts

    Emails, explaining decisions and replying to feedback take a lot of time, and ChatGPT gives you a quick draft. OpenAI recommends breaking a complex task into smaller prompts: first understand the situation, then write the text. Don't paste client names, contracts or other confidential details into the chat; describe the situation in general terms:

    • "The client wrote: [feedback]. Break it into a list of specific changes and mark which ones contradict each other";
    • "Help me politely tell a client that [another round of revisions] isn't part of the agreement and offer options. Tone: friendly and confident";
    • "Explain in plain words to someone without design training why [the pay button sits at the bottom of the screen]. Up to 80 words";
    • "Plan a 15-minute layout presentation for a client: what to show first, which questions to prepare, how to finish";
    • "Here are my notes after a call: [notes]. Turn them into a short summary for the team: what we decided, who does what, open questions";
    • "Play a client who dislikes [the site's dark theme]. Raise 5 objections, then rate my answers".

    💡 For other people's briefs and requirements analysis there's a separate set of prompts in ChatGPT for designers, including how to find what's missing from a task.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Portfolio and career: 6 prompts

    Here ChatGPT is most useful as an editor: you give it facts about your work, and it helps you present them clearly. Never ask it to invent results or numbers: recruiters will ask about exactly those:

    • "Here are the facts about my learning project: [task, what I did, what I learned]. Outline a portfolio case study: sections and what goes in each. Don't make anything up";
    • "Here's a case study: [text]. Find places where I write 'we did' without explaining what exactly I did";
    • "Write 3 short project descriptions for Behance, up to 300 characters, without generic words like 'innovative' and 'unique'";
    • "Here's a job post: [text]. Which 5 skills matter most in it, and which of my projects [list] show each one?";
    • "Run a practice interview with me for a [junior UI designer] role: one question at a time, short feedback after each answer";
    • "Translate my case study into English: natural, the way a designer writes, not a translator".

    Step 5

    Learning and practice: 6 prompts

    ChatGPT works well as a patient tutor: it explains terms, invents exercises and checks your understanding. OpenAI recommends working in iterations: review the answer and refine the prompt if it missed. Prompts for learning:

    • "Explain [visual hierarchy] to someone in their second month of learning design. One real website example and one exercise";
    • "Make a 4-week [Figma] learning plan at 5 hours a week: topics, a practical task each week, how to test myself";
    • "Invent 5 briefs for practicing [mobile screen design]: product, user, one constraint, a 3-day deadline";
    • "Make a 10-question multiple-choice quiz on [typography]. Show the correct answers only after I reply";
    • "Here are 20 design terms: [list]. Give a plain explanation for each and an example sentence from a work chat";
    • "I made [my first landing page]. Here's how I explain my decisions: [text]. Ask 5 questions an experienced mentor would ask so I find the weak spots myself".

    💡 To avoid repeating who you are and how to answer in every chat, fill in Custom Instructions: on the web it's Settings → Personalization. On the Free plan it holds up to 1,500 characters, and the rules apply to all chats right away.

Practice with a deadline and live feedback

The best teacher is a task with a deadline that other people see. That's why the community regularly runs design games: the same brief for everyone, a deadline and a vote.

Questions and answers

Didn't find your answer? Ask it in the community.

Do ChatGPT prompts work in languages other than English?

Yes. ChatGPT supports dozens of languages, Ukrainian among them. The interface follows your browser language, and you can change it in Settings → General → Language. Prompts in other languages work, but check answers for calques and unnatural phrasing.

Why does ChatGPT give generic answers?

Usually because of missing context. OpenAI recommends naming the task clearly, giving the necessary context and setting the tone and style. Compare "write a tagline" with "write 10 taglines up to 6 words for a yoga studio, warm and unpretentious": the second answer will be much closer to what you need.

How do I save my prompts and rules?

Put general rules (who you are, what tone to use) in **Custom Instructions**: they apply to all chats. For a specific task, create a **project**: add instructions in the ••• menu → Project settings, and they apply only in that project, instead of the general ones. The number of files per project depends on your plan.

Is free ChatGPT enough?

For the text prompts in this guide, yes: everyday text chats are unlimited on the Free plan. File and image uploads, image creation and other tools have separate limits, and ChatGPT tells you when you reach them. Keep in mind that by default your chats may be used to train models; you can switch this off in Settings → Data controls → "Improve the model for everyone".

Is the Spaceberry community paid?

No. Spaceberry Community is a free Telegram community supported by Spaceberry Foundation, a non-profit organization. All you need to join is a Telegram account. Inside are 1,504 designers who discuss each other's work, plus regular design games: the same brief for everyone, a deadline and a community vote. Conversations are in Ukrainian.
