Prompt workflow

Designer Workflow to Brainstorm Ideas

A reusable prompt chain for designers who need to brainstorm ideas.

Workflow purpose

This workflow helps a designer brainstorm ideas. It is designed for a situation where the user has client expectations, creative ambiguity, and layout decisions and needs a ranked idea list with reasons and next steps.

Workflow

  1. Define the real decision: what the Designer needs after using the output.
  2. Add the operating context for the project: audience, constraints, proof points and unavailable information.
  3. Run a context-builder prompt before asking for the final deliverable.
  4. Generate the first version for: brainstorm ideas.
  5. Ask the AI to critique its own answer against clarity, specificity and risk.
  6. Edit the final output manually before publishing or sending it.
