🎯 1. Start with Intent, Not Code

Begin your prompt by explaining why the section exists. This helps set the design context before jumping into code.
Example: “I want a footer that feels professional and grounded, matching a tech brand identity, with soft colors and centered layout.”

🎨 2. Describe the Visual Feel

Use design adjectives that capture your desired aesthetic. This helps ChatGPT align the tone and style with your brand.

• Minimal, Elegant, Friendly, Futuristic, Educational, Playful
• Soft shadows, rounded corners, muted palette, warm typography
• Example: “Make the hero section feel modern and friendly, with soft gradients and rounded edges.”

🧱 3. Tell AI the Hierarchy

Aesthetic layouts rely on a clear visual hierarchy. Mention which elements should draw attention first.
Example: “Main heading should pop the most, then CTA button, then supporting text should be subtle.”

🪄 4. Specify Alignment and Rhythm

Good spacing and alignment make any design feel balanced. Be specific about how you want elements to align and breathe.
Example: “Keep everything centered and balanced.”
Example: “Add enough breathing space between sections.”
Example: “Make footer elements vertically stacked with even gaps.”

💡 5. Mention References or Styles You Like

If you have a design inspiration or a site whose layout you admire, mention it. References help ChatGPT infer design language.
Example: “Design like Apple’s footer — minimal, lots of whitespace.”
Example: “Use colors inspired by Nepali patterns, but keep layout clean.”

🧠 6. Ask for Iteration, Not Perfection

Think of the first design as a sketch. You can then refine with feedback loops.
Example: “Looks okay, but can you make it softer and more balanced?”
Example: “Add subtle hover animations and slightly larger text spacing.”

🧰 7. Be Explicit About What Stays

If you already have logos, fonts, or colors, clarify what should remain unchanged so the generated layout fits your brand identity.
Example: “Keep the logo as is, but match the color tone of text to the logo.”

⚙️ Example of a Great Prompt

> Use neutral tones, soft shadows, centered layout, and consistent vertical spacing.  
> Include logo, brand tagline, © line, and link to Berkeley Computer.

This type of prompt provides both intent and structure, leading to a much more aesthetic and on-brand result from the first try.
