Treat Claude as a design collaborator, not a genie: how to unlock real creative alpha
kyleturman · x · 2026-11-12
Designer Kyle Turman shares his workflow using Claude (he mentions "fable 5.2" exploring brand directions — not a huge jump from Opus but still improving): simply asking it to "make a poster" yields mediocre results. The better approach is treating it as a collaborator — jamming together on art history, the purpose of the work, metaphors, divergent directions, and inspiration. He argues general intelligence is an amazing design collaborator, and partnering with it rather than treating it as a genie who does your bidding produces far better results.
