Tesseract design prompt guide
Brief the design.
Review it. Refine it.
Practical prompts for brand kits, video assets, and editable layouts. Use them in ChatGPT, Claude, or another supported agent with Tesseract installed.
Give the agent useful references.
Attach your brand guide, logos, fonts, imagery, and approved examples. An existing Tesseract project provides reusable layers as well as a visual target.
Make the brief specific.
State the audience, placement, dimensions, message, and what must stay unchanged. Ask the agent to identify missing assets before it begins.
Keep continuity between projects.
Continue in the same chat when practical, and keep approved references together. Reattach the relevant files when they are no longer accessible; chat history does not replace the source assets.
Define a visual system.
Attach existing guidelines, logos, and a few references. Replace the bracketed details.
Copy and adapt
Help me define a visual system for [brand], which makes [product] for [audience]. Use the attached references and preserve our existing [logo/fonts/colors]. Propose typography, a color palette with usage rules, reusable layouts, and graphic elements. Include motion rules for our videos. Build a title card, a social post, and a short animated sample in editable Tesseract projects so I can judge the system in use. Show previews before preparing the final brand guide. Call out any missing assets or decisions you need from me.
Turn the kit into a video.
Attach the brand kit and chosen track. Footage is optional.
Copy and adapt
Use the attached brand kit to create a [duration] video for [purpose] in Tesseract. Follow the typography, palette, logo rules, graphic elements, and tone of voice. Use the track I supply, map its beats and energy changes, and time every visual change to those cues. First summarize the brand rules and show me a storyboard. After approval, build an editable layered project. Render preview frames for the opening, midpoint, and end card, then a draft with sound. Compare it against the guide and storyboard, fix differences, and keep approved elements unchanged. Save the project with its required assets and final render.
Create the supporting designs.
Provide the video and editable source when available.
Copy and adapt
Use this video, its Tesseract project, and our brand guide to create a 1920 × 1080 YouTube thumbnail, a 1080 × 1350 launch post, and a 1080 × 1920 story. Reuse the approved typography, colors, and graphic elements. Give each format its own readable composition rather than stretching or cropping one flat image. Propose short headlines appropriate for each placement. Keep text and graphics editable. Render a contact sheet for review and export the approved stills as PNGs alongside their Tesseract projects.
Adapt an approved design.
Choose only the formats you need and specify where they will be used.
Copy and adapt
Adapt this approved Tesseract design into 1080 × 1920, 1080 × 1080, 1080 × 1350, and 1920 × 1080 layouts. Preserve the logo, colors, imagery, and visual style. Recompose the editable layers for each format; do not stretch the artwork or simply crop a flat export. Adjust headline wrapping, subject framing, and CTA placement as needed. Keep the original project unchanged and save each variant separately. Show all four previews together, then wait for my feedback before exporting the final assets.
Point out what needs to change.
Describe the issue. You do not need to prescribe the technical fix.
Copy and adapt
Keep the approved colors, imagery, and layout structure. Change only these issues: the headline is too close to the logo; the button label sits too high; the body text is hard to read at phone size. Preserve everything else and show me an updated preview before exporting.
Ask for a preview-and-revise pass.
Use this before a final export, especially when delivering several sizes.
Copy and adapt
Inspect each layout for alignment, spacing, padding, text wrapping, contrast, and readability at its intended display size. Check that labels are centered within their containers and that important content stays inside the safe area. Compare against our brand guide and approved references. Fix the issues you find, keep approved decisions, and show the revised previews. For animated versions, also review a draft with sound for timing and continuity.
Describe the difference you see.
You do not need to know which effect, property, or keyframe to change. Explain what looks wrong and identify the parts you want to keep.
“The headline feels smaller than in the reference.”
“The logo is too close to the top edge in the story.”
“Keep the layout. The new color no longer matches the brand guide.”
Ask for another preview of the changed layouts before exporting. For video, inspect both frames and the full sequence with sound.
Making a video from scratch?
Choose music first, approve high-fidelity storyboards, then build and refine an editable video.
