AI doesn’t come up with the idea or fix your kerning. It takes over what surrounds the creative work: quotes, proofreading before print, batch cutouts, placeholder text, client feedback to sort. The drawing, the typography, and the final say stay yours.
AI helps graphic designers with tasks such as “Proofread the text before proof approval,” “Price and write a design quote,” and “Sort a client’s feedback on a layout.” Start with a single task, in Claude: allow 10 minutes the first time, and always review the result before you use it.
For each task: how it goes today, then with the tool. And the time it takes the first time.

With ClaudeThe list of typos and inconsistencies, page by page, to fix before you ask for proof approval.

It reads the words, not the production specs: bleeds, image resolution, and colors are checked in your software and with the printer. It can miss an error: the proof approval signed by the client is still essential.
Proofread the text before proof approvalClaude · PDF attached to the conversationThe prompt to copy
Proofread this PDF like a proofreader before printing. Do not rewrite anything: only flag. Note, page by page and quoting the passage: spelling, grammar, and verb errors; typography errors (curly quotes and apostrophes, dashes and hyphens, double spaces, capitalization, abbreviations); inconsistencies between pages (a name spelled two ways, a date and a day of the week that do not match, a price, a phone number, a web address); any leftover placeholder text. Then compare with the client-approved text, pasted below, and list every difference: [paste the approved text]. End with the points you could not check.
