How it Works

Every designer can relate to this feeling. You open a new project and a blank canvas is staring back at you. You know you need to create something, but figuring out where to start can be the hardest part.

These are Design Prompt Cards, a simple tool to break creative blocks, spark new ideas, and can be a fun challenge for designers.

Instead of staring at a blank screen, you shuffle the deck and draw four cards. Each card introduces a creative constraint; typography, layout, colors, and imagery are all categories in the deck. When you combine the 4 cards, you get a completely unique design challenge. There are over 28 thousand possible design combinations. So you’ll never run out of new challenges.

To make things even more interesting, the deck also includes two mystery jokers that add a fun twist and unexpected challenge to your prompt.

They’re great for creative warm-ups, portfolio projects, classroom exercises, or just pushing your creativity in new directions. Just shuffle, draw a card from each suit, and start designing.
