How do people handle image generation for Claude Design projects, given Claude’s image gen is so weak?
It’s my understanding that Claude is terrible with image generation. Like truly, truly horrible. I’ve seen firsthand the little stick-figure outputs it produces. ChatGPT, given the same prompt, will output something far better and possibly even usable.
Enter Claude Design: a fantastic branch of Claude that people absolutely rave about. I love the look of the new desktop module, its easy templates, design system setup and the ability to manually change things yourself.
Here’s the issue though: let’s say you’re building a slide deck using Claude Design. It only works well if you give it a prompt *and* all the resources (design system, logos, fonts, etc., as well as all the raw images/assets to pull from and use) — but since Claude’s image generation is so damn terrible, you can’t simply “prompt in a picture of X” or “a hypothetical logo for your hypothetical company.” In my mind, this should be an essential part of Claude Design as a tool.
How are people getting around this? What do you do if you’re building something with Claude Design but also need an element of image generation as part of the build/project?
Am I simply naive and missing something? Are there workarounds? Are there specific workflows that have been documented and shared to address this specific problem?
I’d love the community’s input, and I apologize if this has come up before.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
