What is the Design Genie studio?

By Nimanto 1 min read

In short

The studio is the page for one brief. It shows the round's progress, then each draft playing by itself on a phone frame. There you choose Use this design or Use this one, ask for a revision in the dock, and switch between rounds, which are all kept.

Every brief has a studio page, titled "Your designs". Open it from the Design Genie tab of your dashboard with See designs. Only you and admins can open it.

The header

  • A status pill: Queued, Designing, Painting, Bringing to life, Ready or Needs a retry.
  • The price line: "Included in your plan", or the price when you publish, with "drafts are free".
  • Continue with your pick, once you have chosen a design.
  • Chips with what the brief asked: occasion, theme, style, colours, mood, language, culture, must-haves, characters and references, and the revision note during a revision.

The drafts

When the round is ready, the drafts stand side by side on wide screens and in a swipeable row on a phone. Each phone plays the invitation by itself, scrolling as a guest would. Scroll it by hand and it resumes a few seconds later; on a computer, resting the mouse on a phone pauses it so you can look.

Under each draft: its name, a short pitch, tags, and the buttons Use this design (or Use this one when there are several), Revise, and "In the catalogue" if an admin has published it.

Rounds

When there is more than one round, a switcher reads First drafts, Revision 1 and so on, with a tick on the round holding your pick. Every round is kept, so you can pick a design from any of them.

The revise dock

At the foot, "Not quite?" shows how many revisions are left and takes your note. See Revise a Genie design.

Choosing a design

Use this one opens a sheet asking whether to bring the design to life as a short film. Choose Bring it to life or Not now, keep it still; either way you go on to fill in your invitation. See Pick and publish a Genie design.
