Getting started

Do I need design skills to use an AI design tool?

Short answer

No. An AI design tool works from a plain-language description, so you don't need layout software or design training to get a usable result. What helps is knowing what you want: the message, the audience and your brand. In Cutlin you describe it in words, and the sizes, safe areas and your brand's look are handled for you.

What the tool does for you, and what still helps.

What the tool handles

Composition, lighting, colour and type are the parts that used to need training. An AI image generator makes those choices from your description, and you ask for changes in the same plain words - brighter, simpler, more space for the headline.

What still helps

Taste still matters: you choose which result works. The difference is that you direct the design instead of drawing it.

A clear brief: who it is for, what it should say and where it will be posted
Brand guidelines, so colours, fonts and logo use stay the same every time
A final look before publishing: spelling, facts and anything cut off at the edges

How Cutlin makes it easier

Pick a size tagged with the platform - Portrait 4:5, tagged Instagram post, is 1080 × 1350 - and the picture comes back at exactly that size. Generate for social media remakes it at other platform sizes with key content inside the safe area, and Check for social media flags anything to fix. Add your brand's @username and its colours, fonts and real logo are applied for you.

A brand used in Cutlin is kept in Melon Cut Guidelines: its guidelines page is at meloncut.com/yourbrand, and Cutlin reads it from there.
