THE POWER COMBO
Claude writes. Canva designs. Together they replace a writer and a graphic designer for most content creation tasks.
Here's the workflow for every content type:
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
Step 1 — Claude writes the copy: "Write 5 Instagram caption options for a post about [TOPIC]. My brand voice: [DESCRIBE TONE]. Target audience: [WHO]. Include a hook, value, and CTA. Each under 150 words."
Step 2 — Canva designs the visual:
- Open Canva → search "Instagram Post"
- Pick a template that matches your brand colours
- Paste Claude's caption into the template
- Swap the image using Canva's AI image generator (type your description)
- Adjust colours to match your brand
- Download and post
Time: 10-15 minutes for 5 finished posts.
YOUTUBE THUMBNAILS
Step 1 — Claude writes the hook text: "Write 5 thumbnail text options for a YouTube video titled '[VIDEO TITLE]'. Each should be under 5 words, create curiosity, and work at small sizes."
Step 2 — Canva designs the thumbnail:
- Search "YouTube Thumbnail" in Canva (1280×720px)
- Use a bold template with large text
- Add your text from Claude
- Use Canva's Magic Studio for the background image
- Add a face photo if you have one (people click on faces)
PRESENTATIONS
Step 1 — Claude builds the structure: "Create a slide-by-slide outline for a [LENGTH] presentation about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Include: slide title, 3 bullet points max per slide, and a suggested visual for each slide."
Step 2 — Canva creates the slides:
- Use "Presentations" in Canva
- Pick a professional template
- Create one slide per outline item
- Use Canva AI to generate slide-specific images
- Use "Magic Design" to auto-generate a full deck from your outline
EMAIL HEADERS & NEWSLETTER GRAPHICS
Step 1 — Claude writes the headline: "Write 5 email header headline options for a newsletter about [TOPIC]. Each under 8 words. Make readers want to open the email."
Step 2 — Canva designs the header:
- Search "Email Header" in Canva (600×200px is standard)
- Add the headline text with your brand font
- Use a background image or gradient matching your brand
