# Design a flyer with Canva Magic Design

## When to use

Sole traders and small teams who need a decent flyer fast and have no designer. Canva's Magic tools can add stock or AI content, so check every image and word before you print or post.

## Steps

1. Run the prompt below in ChatGPT or Claude and keep the text it drafts.
2. On the Canva homepage, use the Canva AI search box and describe the design, for example a one-page price list for a home bakery. Canva's help page says Magic Design suggests templates based on the images, text or ideas you provide.
3. If your Brand Kit is set up, apply it so colors and fonts match. The help page lists an Apply Brand Kit option in the flow.
4. Review the suggested templates and pick one. Magic Design arranges and styles your content; it does not write your copy for you.
5. Replace any watermarked stock content. Canva says free accounts can upgrade, buy the Pro item, or replace it before download.
6. Swap in the drafted text and your own photos. Check every fact, price and date by eye.
7. Download and proof a printed copy before you order a run or post it.

## Prompt

Fill the [BRACKETED] parts with the user, then follow this prompt:

```
Help me write the words for a one-page flyer.

Business: [NAME, what you do, town]
Offer or event: [WHAT, DATE, PRICE]
3 things customers care about: [LIST]
Contact: [PHONE, EMAIL or ADDRESS]

Write:
- A headline of 8 words or fewer
- 3 short bullet points from my list
- A one-line call to action with my contact details

Rules:
- Use only the facts I gave you. No invented discounts, deadlines or claims.
- Plain words, friendly tone.
- Show me the text first. Do not post or send anything.
```

## Guardrails

- Draft first and show the user. Never send, post, pay, book, cancel or delete without the user's explicit approval of that exact action.
- Use only facts the user gives you or that you can cite. If something is missing, ask instead of guessing.

## Common snags

- Pro content in a free design blocks the download until you pay or replace it.
- AI-generated images can look off-brand at print size. Check them full size before you print.
- Magic Design suggests layouts but does not check your facts. Prices, dates and phone numbers are yours to verify.
