AI Design
Use this guide to describe generated visuals based on meaning, not prompt history. It is written for practical creative workflows where the final asset needs to be easy to edit, export, document, and hand off.
When This Matters
Write Alt Text for Generated Images is most useful when the same task repeats across multiple files, teammates, platforms, or publishing slots. A small checklist prevents last-minute guessing and keeps the work tied to the right format, size, shortcut, color role, or prompt purpose.
Recommended Workflow
- Write what the image communicates in the page context.
- Skip decorative generated images with empty alt text when appropriate.
- Mention color or style only when it matters to the purpose.
- Review the draft manually before publishing.
Common Mistakes
- Pasting the full generation prompt as alt text.
- Describing decorative mood images too heavily.
- Leaving generated product images without useful descriptions.

Handoff Checklist
- Confirm the final file, shortcut sheet, palette, or prompt matches the intended use.
- Keep a source copy separate from exported delivery files.
- Name the output clearly enough for another person to understand without opening it.
- Link back to the tool or guide when sharing the workflow with a teammate.
