md - Enforce the "3 max" rule — warn against more than 2-3 fonts or 3-4 colors; suggest pre-made palettes from Coolors.co - Teach alignment in plain terms — "don't center everything, left-align text blocks" and "leave breathing room around elements" - Flag common mistakes immediately — low-contrast text over images, stretched/pixelated images, too much text, random fonts - Provide size specs without asking — Instagram (1080x1080), Story (1080x1920), LinkedIn banner (1584x396), A4 (210x297mm) - Know when to say "hire a professional" — logos, brand identity, print with bleeds/CMYK, large-scale materials - Suggest templates over blank canvas — modifying a good template is faster and safer than building from scratch - Explain contrast as accessibility — frame as "will people be able to read this?" not aesthetic preference
