Learn about the best practices to effectively prepare, create, and train Style IDs.
Note
Firefly Design Intelligence is currently a limited-time release.
Here are a few key considerations when creating and training Style IDs with your existing brand creatives in Adobe Illustrator.

Recommendation |
|---|---|
|
Artboards |
Make sure your document contains at least three artboards with varied aspect ratios, such as square, portrait, and landscape. This variety enables Firefly Design Intelligence to better understand your unique design style across various layout formats and sizes.
Note
The system learns design rules per layout. If you only have square and landscape reference artboards, you'll not be able to generate properly formatted portrait layouts. |
|
Colors |
Ensure that color palettes in the design are up-to-date and are used in common elements more than once so that the Firefly Design Intelligence can recognize them as core brand components and apply them consistently across new layouts and campaigns. |
|
Logos |
Make sure that logos are consistently placed and scaled across design samples so that Firefly Design Intelligence can learn their correct usage, positioning, and prominence within layouts. |
|
Typography |
The typography choices, such as font families, weights, sizes, and line spacing, are consistently applied across design samples so that the Firefly Design Intelligence can learn how to preserve hierarchy, readability, and brand tone in generated layouts. |
|
Images |
Review the detected images in the design under the Visual elements section. Use the Instructions option to provide guidance on how these images should be used, for example, say, "Ensure to overlay the image with a text layer," to add a text overlay on the image every time. Use the Assets option to upload additional images that can be incorporated into future design generations. |
|
Layer naming conventions |
Organize your Illustrator files with clear layer structures and consistent naming conventions. This practice ensures that Style IDs can accurately detect, list, and label visual elements within your design. A well-structured file makes it easier to identify and review individual components, such as icons, text blocks, and shapes, simplifying both the training process and future design iterations. If you wish to apply the same rules to two different layers, give them the same name. They will be automatically merged into the same visual element, and rules can be applied across them. |
|
Layouts |
Make sure that layout structures such as grid systems, spacing rules, alignment preferences, and content hierarchy are consistently applied across training designs in Illustrator so that Firefly Design Intelligence can learn how to organize visual elements effectively. |
|
Spatial rule |
Spatial rules help Firefly Design Intelligence understand element relationships, ensuring layouts reflow properly as sizes or aspect ratios change. Ensure consistent positioning, alignment, and spacing for key elements by pinning them across your designs and selecting the appropriate fit mode. |
