Learn how to create Style IDs to train Firefly Design Intelligence using your existing brand creatives in Adobe Illustrator.
Note
Firefly Design Intelligence is currently a limited-time release.
Create Style IDs to train Firefly Design Intelligence using your existing brand creatives in Adobe Illustrator. Start by preparing a new document with brand-approved layouts, then open the Style ID panel to create and manage your Style IDs. Once created, you can review visual elements, layouts, and spatial rules to ensure your brand system is learned accurately and generates consistent design variations.
Before you begin
- Ensure artboards are clean, properly aligned, and do not overlap.
- Remove unsupported features, such as effects, distorted text, and drop shadows.
- Trim linked files correctly so there is no extra empty space around the artwork.
- Organize layers and groups clearly so they are easy to follow.
- Set up compound paths correctly.
- Combine or convert large groups of paths (more than 10) as needed.
Create and define a unique Style ID
In the Style ID Trainer panel, select a profile from the Profile dropdown menu to begin training your Style ID.
Select the icon next to Style ID library to create a new one and link it to the open document.
Give a name and description to the Style ID, and select Create.
If you're presented with a warning about modifying your document. Select Continue to proceed.
Once a Style ID is created, the following three tabs are displayed:
Visual elements: These are the individual design components extracted from the original files during training. Visual elements may include- headlines, body text, logos, images, shapes, and background elements. These elements can be edited, replaced, or configured to behave dynamically during generation while respecting brand rules
Layouts: These define how visual elements are arranged within an artboard. Layouts capture positioning, hierarchy, alignment, and group relationships between elements. A single Style ID can include multiple layouts to support different formats, sizes, and campaign variations. This helps ensure that generated outputs stay structurally consistent across variations.
Spatial rules: These define how elements relate to each other and to the artboard. They control pin relationships (for example, a logo pinned to the top-right), margins and safety zones, relative positioning between elements, and how designs respond when resized. Spatial Rules help maintain brand integrity when generating designs across different aspect ratios and formats.
