In a fast-evolving creative landscape, staying ahead requires more than talent—it demands tools that accelerate your process without compromising quality. For brand designers, artificial intelligence is changing the game. From layout automation to smart content generation, AI offers an edge in both speed and strategy.
At Conte Studios, we’re constantly exploring new tools that support great design and strategic execution. Here are 10 AI-powered platforms every brand designer should have on their radar.
Canva
Canva has become a staple in the design world, and with good reason. It uses AI to simplify layout design, suggest visuals, and maintain brand consistency through built-in brand kits. For designers working across multiple campaigns or with various stakeholders, Canva helps deliver fast, cohesive, and professional results.
Adobe Sensei
Adobe Sensei is the intelligence behind Adobe Creative Cloud’s smart features. It enhances productivity with tools like auto-tagging, intelligent cropping, content-aware fill, and auto font matching. For creatives working in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Premiere, it’s a quiet workhorse that frees up time for deeper design thinking.
Easil
Easil combines the flexibility of a design tool with the structure of a brand management platform. It offers drag-and-drop functionality, smart resizing, AI-generated color palettes, and pre-designed templates that help marketing teams and designers work more efficiently while keeping branding tight and on-message.
SmartMockups
SmartMockups makes it simple to showcase your work in real-world settings. Upload your design and instantly see it on packaging, digital devices, print materials, and more. It eliminates the need for Photoshop mockup files and gives clients a quick, realistic view of how the work will live beyond the screen.
ArtistoGraphy
ArtistoGraphy turns any image into a digital artwork inspired by famous painting styles. From Van Gogh-inspired strokes to watercolor textures, it provides a creative edge when standard visuals just won’t do. Use it to add unique flair to campaign visuals, posters, or editorial assets.
Colormind
Colormind is a color palette generator powered by AI. It learns from thousands of visuals to recommend harmonious color combinations based on mood, theme, or reference images. For designers who want to move faster through the color selection phase, this tool is both efficient and intuitive.
Logojoy (now Looka)
Logojoy uses machine learning to help generate custom logo ideas based on your style preferences. It’s not a substitute for brand strategy, but it’s a useful tool during the concept phase. It pairs fonts, suggests palettes, and creates quick prototypes—ideal for early-stage client reviews or internal brainstorming.
DeepArt.io
DeepArt.io uses deep neural networks to turn photos into stylized artwork. You can apply everything from bold abstract treatments to classic oil-paint effects. It’s ideal for designers looking to experiment with new textures, custom visuals, or stylized campaign assets.
Contentful
Contentful is a headless CMS with smart content delivery powered by AI. It allows for modular content creation and seamless integration with design systems. For brand designers working closely with developers or marketers, Contentful ensures consistency across platforms while simplifying updates and localization.
Pexels
Pexels is more than just a stock photo site. Its AI-powered search helps you quickly find high-quality, royalty-free images that align with your project’s tone and aesthetic. Filter by style, orientation, or mood and save hours sifting through generic image libraries.
Conclusion
AI isn’t replacing designers—it’s supporting them. These tools help remove friction, automate repetitive tasks, and open new creative possibilities. From mockups and logos to content delivery and color palettes, these platforms can elevate the way you work and enhance the results you deliver.
