Generate brand-safe social media visuals from reusable AI templates

List the recurring social visuals your team creates: quote cards, stat cards, webinar promos, report excerpts, feature announcements, carousel covers, customer proof cards, and event reminders. Pick 3-5 formats for the first system. Add each format to Airtable with channel, size, purpose, required text, image style, and approval owner.

Use Claude to convert your brand guidelines into plain-language visual rules. Include colors, typography, layout style, imagery rules, icon rules, density, tone, banned styles, and examples of what does not fit. This becomes the prompt foundation for every visual request.

Turn these brand guidelines into practical AI visual generation rules.

Brand guidelines:
{{brand_guidelines}}

Example visuals we like:

Output:
1. Visual style summary
2. Color rules
3. Typography rules
4. Layout rules
5. Image and illustration rules
6. Icon and shape rules
7. Density and whitespace rules
8. Things to avoid
9. Reusable visual prompt block
10. Approval checklist

Make this practical for a marketer creating social graphics in Canva or AdCreative.ai.

Build one Canva template for each approved format. Lock the layout structure, brand colors, logo placement, typography, safe zones, and text hierarchy. Leave flexible fields for headline, stat, quote, CTA, and supporting image. Save each template link in Airtable with usage notes.

Use Claude to create prompt templates for each visual format. Each prompt should include the format, audience, content input, brand rules, size, copy limits, style restrictions, and output instructions. Store the prompts in Airtable next to the matching Canva template.

Create a reusable prompt template for this social visual format.

Visual format:
{{visual_format}}

Brand-safe visual rules:
{{brand_rules}}

Channel and dimensions:
{{channel_dimensions}}

Template structure:
{{template_structure}}

The prompt should accept:
- Campaign topic
- Audience
- Source text
- Desired CTA
- Proof point or stat
- Tone

Output the final reusable prompt with placeholders using {{variable_name}} syntax.

Choose one campaign and generate a batch of visuals using Canva and AdCreative.ai. Create 2-3 variations per format so you can compare density, headline length, and visual direction. Do not publish everything. Review the batch against the brand-safe checklist first.

Generate copy and image direction for a social visual batch.

Campaign:
{{campaign}}

Audience:
{{audience}}

Source content:
{{source_content}}

CTA:
{{cta}}

Brand rules:
{{brand_rules}}

Formats needed:
{{formats_needed}}

For each format, output:
1. Headline
2. Supporting copy
3. Visual direction
4. Layout notes
5. Alt text
6. Variant A
7. Variant B
8. Variant C

Keep copy short and brand-safe. Do not invent proof points.

Use Claude to create a simple quality checklist for each visual. Check brand fit, readability, claim accuracy, logo use, accessibility, visual clutter, and whether the image matches the content. Add approval status to Airtable so the team knows which assets are draft, approved, scheduled, or retired.

Create a review checklist for AI-assisted social visuals.

Brand rules:
{{brand_rules}}

Visual formats:
{{visual_formats}}

Approval risks:
{{approval_risks}}

Create:
1. Brand fit checklist
2. Readability checklist
3. Claim accuracy checklist
4. Accessibility checklist
5. Channel fit checklist
6. Red flags that require redesign
7. Approval status definitions

Make it short enough that a marketer will actually use it.

Schedule approved visuals in Buffer and track performance by format, topic, visual style, and CTA. Add results back into Airtable. Over time, you should know which templates work best for reports, webinars, customer proof, product updates, and thought leadership posts.
