    56. 3 Ways to Use ChatGPT for Design That Actually Speed Up Your Process

    Want to speed up your design process without sacrificing originality? AI tools like ChatGPT can help...but not in the ways you might expect. In this episode, Rizza walks through the real, everyday ways she uses ChatGPT in her design business. Instead of treating AI as a replacement for creativity, this conversation focuses on using it as a creative coworker, one that handles the time-consuming parts so you can focus on what actually matters: making the design your own. This episode is especially helpful if you've been curious about AI but aren't sure how to use it without everything looking generic. In this episode, you'll learn: How to use ChatGPT to create custom reference images for logos and designsWhy AI-generated images work best as starting points, not final productsHow ChatGPT can save hours on copy tasks like retyping text and organizing contentWays to use AI as a brainstorming buddy when you're stuckWhy the magic of using AI for design isn't in the prompt—it's in how you interpret and make it your own Start With Your Brand:If your designs feel scattered or you're spending hours on tasks that should be faster, it's often because there's no clear creative direction guiding your decisions. DIY Your Brand in 5 Days helps you define your brand foundation so every design choice—AI-assisted or not—feels intentional and aligned. https://www.zsquaredstudio.com/diybrand Connect With RizzaWebsite: https://www.zsquaredstudio.comInstagram: @zsquaredstudio
