A fresh layout brief in one click
Staring at an empty artboard is the slowest part of layout work. This tool generates a layout concept brief — a short, structured prompt that fixes the grid, the content hierarchy, where the primary call to action lives, and how visual weight is distributed. Treat it as a constraint to design against, not a finished design.
How it works
The generator holds a list of options for each layout dimension:
- Page type — landing, dashboard, pricing, profile, article, and more.
- Grid structure — symmetric 12-column, asymmetric split, single-column reading flow, modular card grid, and others.
- Content hierarchy — hero-first, F-pattern scan, Z-pattern, content-dense, progressive reveal.
- Primary CTA placement — above the fold center, sticky footer bar, top-right, repeated inline, floating action.
- Visual weight — where emphasis sits via size, color, and whitespace.
Each generate picks one option from each dimension at random and stitches them into a readable brief. Because the dimensions are independent, you get a large number of distinct, coherent combinations.
Tips and notes
- Use it as a timed warm-up: ten minutes to wireframe something that satisfies the brief, then critique what works.
- If a combination feels contradictory (for example, content-dense plus heavy whitespace), that tension is the interesting part — resolve it deliberately.
- Generate two or three and lay the sketches side by side to compare layout directions quickly.
