This still blows my mind:
a flat image becomes a layered video I can edit.

Fix timings, resize or swap items.

Just use the right plugin on Claude.

DROP A DESIGN BELOW 👇
I'll animate it.

@JaysonYan1982 It is AI-made. The difference is, it comes back with layers you can edit. 🚀💫

[𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 @saniaspeaks_]

Created with GPT image 2

Prompt ↓
Create a premium illustrated travel postcard for {{CITY_NAME}} in a refined Japanese tourism-magazine aesthetic.
Automatically research and determine the city’s country, local-language name, most iconic landmark, authentic surrounding environment, distinctive local architecture, geography, vegetation, transportation, and secondary visual details. The landmark must be geographically accurate and instantly recognizable.
Visual style: elegant Japanese travel editorial illustration, handcrafted layered paper collage combined with delicate gouache and watercolor textures, sophisticated Japanese tourism brochure aesthetic, calm and poetic atmosphere, refined composition, tactile matte paper, subtle handmade edges, soft physical paper shadows, delicate atmospheric depth.
Composition: premium postcard. Use a cinematic elevated viewpoint with the iconic landmark as the main focal point. Surround it with accurately styled local buildings, streets, waterfronts, hills, mountains, parks, or other authentic geographic elements appropriate to the city. Keep the upper portion spacious with generous negative space for typography.
Color palette: soft powder blue, warm ivory, cream, muted sage, dusty green, pale beige, soft gray, restrained terracotta. Low-to-medium saturation, gentle tonal transitions, no harsh contrast.
Architecture: precise and believable local architecture with carefully simplified shapes, accurate proportions, characteristic materials and rooflines. Avoid generic buildings and random skyscrapers.
People: include only a few tiny simplified paper-cut travelers and pedestrians naturally interacting with the environment—walking, sightseeing, sitting, or looking toward the landmark. They should provide scale without becoming the focus.
Nature: delicate layered foliage, subtle trees, grasses and regional vegetation appropriate to the city. Add water, mountains, coastline, rivers, or other geographic features only when genuinely associated with the location.
Typography: place elegant minimalist Japanese editorial typography in the upper-left with generous spacing:
- CITY NAME — large uppercase geometric sans-serif
- LOCAL CITY NAME · COUNTRY/REGION — small refined sans-serif
- PRIMARY LANDMARK — small uppercase text with wide letter spacing
Typography should feel integrated into the artwork, not like an overlay.
Lighting: soft natural daytime light, slightly hazy atmosphere, gentle matte highlights, subtle layered shadows, peaceful and nostalgic mood.
Material: high-quality matte art paper, fine tactile grain, layered paper construction, delicate watercolor pigment variation, slightly imperfect handcrafted cut edges, premium offset-print character.
Camera feel: 40–50mm equivalent, natural perspective, minimal distortion, strong foreground/midground/background separation, carefully art-directed travel photography composition translated into an illustration.
Overall mood: quiet, elegant, contemplative, authentic, sophisticated Japanese travel magazine, collectible destination postcard, premium tourism campaign quality.
Avoid: photorealistic photography, CGI, plastic rendering, flat vector art, anime, cartoon caricature, generic skyline, inaccurate landmark, fictional architecture, geographically impossible scenery, duplicated buildings, excessive people, oversized people, neon colors, oversaturation, harsh black shadows, glossy surfaces, clutter, excessive outlines, random text, misspelled typography, watermark, logo, border, frame, UI elements.
Generate the entire scene dynamically from {{CITY_NAME}} while maintaining this exact refined Japanese tourism-magazine visual identity.

I wanted editable designs made with AI, so I used these together:

➔ @BytePlusGlobal Layerize Pro
➔ CoDesign MCP (generates editable designs or imports yours be editable again)

Everybody at the office & printshop hates it:
➔ Make a PDF editable & fill address fields in bulk!

How To Do it (Easy):
➔ Install CoDesign MCP
➔ Import PDF (or let MCP design it)
➔ Import data you want to fill in from .CSV
(or any other readable file). Done!

Which bulk print task you want to see next⁉️

[CoDesign @getcodesign]

Don't generate print designs in AI as always…

you’ll be stuck re-generating details that are hard to change.

➔ This is faster
➔ and more reliable
(brand colors, print-safety,
+ manual editing without xtra tools).

How to make PDFs editable in your AI agent:

➔ Install CoDesign MCP in your agent
(Claude, Codex, ...)
It'll give your agent editable design files
& an editor to work with.

➔ Import your PDF
Prompt: "Open this PDF with CoDesign"

➔ Make Changes
Do it manually in the editor (localhost link),
OR
Drop any requests & files in your agent chat.

e.g. upload CSV files if you want to bulk-update 1k PDFs with new address fields in them; change your catalogue with products updates, prices, etc.
The MCP will do it for you.
