With Designer in Teams for personal use on Windows 11, you have direct access to create and share images:

Generating Images with AI

Unlock the creative capabilities of DALL-E 3 by describing exactly what you envision. The more specific your prompts, the more tailored the AI-generated images will be.

Tips to get the most out of AI image generation

• Be Contextual: Instead of saying “beach,” describe “a sunny beach with families playing and colorful umbrellas dotting the sand” to give the AI more to work with.
• Use of Adjectives: Enhance the mood with adjectives. “A tranquil, moonlit lake” gives a different feel than “a bustling, sunlit lake.”
• Layered Descriptions: Build complexity with “a vintage typewriter on a wooden desk, with a steaming cup of coffee beside an open window overlooking a city skyline at dusk.”
• Leverage Smart Suggestions: As you type your design idea, Designer offers intelligent prompts based on your input, helping you refine and expand your concept with creative and detailed descriptions.
• Art Styles: Direct the AI towards a style, like specifying “a portrait of a woman in Renaissance attire” for a classical look.
• Iterative Refinement: If an image isn’t perfect, refine your description for the next attempt.

Searching and Templates

Beginning with a prompt or a template is another way to spark the design process in Designer.

• Search for Inspiration: The search function in Designer can help you find the right starting point. For instance, typing in “birthday party” can lead you to various thematic templates.
• Selecting Templates: Browsing through existing designs and templates can provide a foundation for your design.

Fine-Tuning Within Teams

With the customization options available directly in Teams, you can apply detailed edits to your chosen design without ever leaving the app. From tweaking text and font to adjusting color schemes, Teams empowers you to refine every aspect with precision and ease. Now, with your design personalized, you’re ready to bring your creative vision to completion.
