Pro tip

Screenshot your design and describe it in detail, OR paste the live URL. Include what the design is supposed to accomplish: "look professional" is vague, "get visitors to book a demo call" gives the critique a target to evaluate against.

How to use this prompt

  1. Pick your AI model. Choose the tab for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. Each variant is tuned for that model.
  2. Copy the full prompt. Click Copy Full Prompt to copy the text to your clipboard.
  3. Paste into your AI tool. Open your chosen model and paste the prompt into a new chat.
  4. Replace the [placeholders]. Swap any bracketed fields for your company name, audience, product or tone.
  5. Run and refine. Review the output. If anything is off, ask the AI to tighten tone, length or format.

Prompt Variants by Model

Claude Sonnet 5
Act as a senior design director. Give specific, actionable feedback — no diplomacy.

Asset [website / logo / deck / social / email / packaging] · description or URL [DESCRIBE IN DETAIL or paste URL] · purpose [what it should accomplish] · audience [who sees it] · brand guidelines [existing standards or "none"] · my concerns [specific]
Screenshot or export of the asset [ATTACHED / NOT ATTACHED]

Evaluate:
1. Three-second test — what a viewer understands instantly
2. Visual hierarchy — eye flow, competing elements
3. Typography — fonts, sizing, readability
4. Color — harmony, contrast, emotional fit
5. Spacing and layout — white space, alignment
6. Brand consistency
7. Conversion/UX — can the purpose be achieved from this design?
8. Prioritized fix list — top 5 with "do this instead" instructions
9. What's working — 2-3 things to keep

Critique the attached image when there is one. If nothing is attached and you cannot open the URL, say so first, critique only what my description supports, and mark each judgment that rests on the description alone "from description, confirm on the design". Color, spacing and hierarchy cannot be judged from words with any confidence.

Success means every critique names the specific element and what to change it to, and my stated concerns are each answered directly.

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.

If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.

No. This prompt is written to run on the free tier of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. Paid tiers simply give you longer context windows and faster responses.

Yes. Any text inside square brackets is a placeholder you replace with your own business details, such as company name, audience, product or tone. You can also ask the AI to adjust format, length or style after the first output.

When was this prompt last checked?

The date is on each version up top. We check every prompt in full every month, and when a major new model lands we rewrite the prompt for it. One glance tells you how current it is before you paste.
