Custom design Field Notes
Custom design does not have to mean changing the pattern. The guides collected here begin with the surrounding frame, emoji, caption, and destination promise. From there, you can evaluate whether a more integrated visual treatment has a practical benefit that justifies the extra review.
Use the basic workflow to establish the action and protected code panel. Read the logo and photo guide before introducing overlays or busy image backgrounds. The AI-assisted design article then explains how exploratory artwork can fit into a controlled process without making an image tool responsible for destination verification.
Keep an original code asset, document the approved payload, and test the actual exports. A reusable creative system should make future changes easier without hiding which parts need renewed approval. These notes are most useful when shared with both the creative owner and the person responsible for the destination.
