Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
You describe the message and Izy builds the design in your company's visual style. The result opens in the editor, where you can adjust any detail without using AI credits again.
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Fill out the brand profile, with logo and colors.
- Creating a design uses credits. A photo generated by AI costs more than a design with just colors and text.
Step by step
- Step 1:
In the menu, open and click New design.
- Step 2:
With With Izy selected, write what the design needs to communicate: the message, the offer, and the call to action.
- Step 3:
In Format, choose where the design will be used: Feed (4:5), Story and Reels (9:16), Carousel (4:5) or Square post (1:1). Under Other format, you'll find covers, banners, and print items.
- Step 4:
In Image, choose between Only brand colors and text, AI-generated photo or Product in scene.
- Step 5:
Click Create design. Izy writes the texts and puts the piece together. It takes about a minute, and you can leave the screen while you wait.
- Step 6:
The design opens in the editor. In Variations, check out the other layouts of the same design and select the one you like. Use Download to save the image or Use in a post to publish it.
How to know it worked
The design appears in the editor, with the title and call to action written by Izy, and is saved under Designs.
If something goes wrong
The design came out without the logo or with the wrong colors.
The brand kit is incomplete. Upload the logo and set the colors in the brand profile, then create the design again.
The text didn't come out the way I wanted.
Click the text in the editor and type over it, or ask Izy to make the change in the editor panel.
Next step
Adjust the design in the editor: texts, images, and logo.
