Handing card-news design to AI — five looks for one text, you just pick

Summary in three lines
- Layout eats the most time in card news, so AI dresses one text in five deliberately different templates daily.
- Twenty images across five sets render in under a minute; one tick sends drawing, captions and scheduling off automatically, and unpicked days still publish the baseline set.
- Image models tend to garble text, so the image prompt says no text at all, and the words are layered on afterwards in your own font.
What we learned
- Make the five directions truly different: keep your current look as a baseline, then change color, type and shape, plus one style you would never normally choose.
- Your picks reveal patterns over time, which can become a rule that recommends a template by topic.
FAQ
Can I do this with no design background?
You need an eye for choosing, not a hand for drawing. If you cannot decide, eliminate the one that looks least like you.
Do I need paid tools?
Free tools are enough for design concepts and cover headlines. Paid image generation only mattered for producing images automatically every morning.
