A Simple Prompt Trick: Ask AI for an NxN Matrix to Explore Design and Copy Options
FanaHOVA · x · 2026-09-23
FanaHOVA shares a prompt technique he's had repeated success with for design and copy exploration: instead of asking for a single proposal, ask the model to generate an NxN matrix, with the x-axis varying one dimension (color palette, tone, etc.) and the y-axis varying another (length, layout, etc.).
This forces the model to systematically cover combinations across both dimensions, giving you a grid of comparable options to pick from rather than one take — useful for branding, landing page copy, and layout exploration.
