Banners, cards and invitations, faster.
A freelance graphic designer can set a frame to any size, keep a client's colors and fonts as tokens, and ask an AI agent in Wonderblok for variations of a banner, a business card or an invitation, then choose, polish and export as PNG, SVG or PDF. The routine resizing and retyping moves to the agent.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Sound familiar?
Freelance briefs arrive in every shape: a banner today, a business card tomorrow, a wedding invitation on Friday. Underneath they share the same moves: set the size, apply the brand, try three directions, fix the copy, export.
Wonderblok keeps the brand as tokens so each new piece starts on brand. Your agent does the repetitive moves: other copy, other languages, other colors, other sizes of the same design. You do what clients pay for, the decisions and the polish.
Resizing the same design again and again
One banner becomes six sizes, each adjusted by hand.
Copy changes at the last minute
A new headline or a translated version means reflowing text everywhere.
Many clients, many brands
Colors and fonts must be right every time.
AN EXAMPLE WEEK
Three briefs in a week, without redoing the same work
A scenario, not a customer story: what a week can look like when your agent works on the canvas with you.
Monday
A banner for a coffee roaster
A client wants an autumn sale banner by the end of the day. You make a file for them, set their two colors and their fonts as tokens, and ask the agent for three directions at 1080 by 1080. One is too busy, one is flat, and one is almost right. You take the third, move the headline yourself and fix the spacing.
Tuesday
One design, six sizes
The client approves the banner and asks for a wide web version, a story and a thumbnail. You ask for each size from the approved layout, with the same rules. The agent reflows the text, and you adjust the two sizes where the headline wraps badly. The six versions sit side by side in one file.
Wednesday
A business card for a new client
A dentist needs a business card and sends the logo, the colors and the text. You make a frame at the card size, put the brand into tokens and lay out the front and back. Then you ask for the same card with a second doctor's name and a longer title, and check that the line still fits.
Thursday
A wedding invitation, in two languages
A friend's cousin wants an invitation. You choose a serif display typeface, a cream and olive palette, and draw a small botanical ornament with the pen tool. The agent builds an Indonesian and an English version in the same layout, and tells you where the longer English lines needed a smaller size.
Friday
The last-minute copy change
The coffee client changes the headline and the discount, five minutes before they post. You leave a note on the headline layer. The agent changes the text in all six sizes, reports what it did, and you glance at each one. You export the PNG files and send them.
Next week
A new client, set up once
A new client sends a logo and a brand guide as a PDF. You read it, set their colors, fonts and spacing as tokens in a fresh file, and write three lines of guidelines. From the first banner on, the agent starts on brand, and you stop re-checking hex values.
BEFORE AND AFTER
What changes once your agent has a canvas.
WITHOUT A DESIGN FILE
- One banner turns into six sizes, each adjusted by hand.
- A new headline or a translated version means reflowing the text in every file.
- Each client's colors and fonts are typed again for every piece, and a wrong value slips through.
- You show one direction because drawing three costs a whole afternoon.
- Evenings go to resizing and retyping, not to the decisions clients pay for.
WITH WONDERBLOK
- You approve one layout and ask for the other sizes, then fix the ones that need a human eye.
- A copy change is a note, and the agent applies it to every size in the file.
- Each client's brand is set once as tokens, and every piece starts on brand.
- You can show three directions because the agent draws the second and the third.
- Your time goes to composition, hierarchy and polish.
HOW IT WORKS
Freelance graphic designers: the workflow, step by step.
Each step shows what you ask for, what you get, and the features behind it.
- 01
Connect your agent
Wonderblok sets up the MCP connection for Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop. The agent can read your file, add frames, place text, shapes and paths, and edit tokens. The file stays on your device, which matters when it holds a client's unreleased work.
MCPLocal filesYou get: Your agent can work in the same file you do.
- 02
Set the client's brand as tokens
Colors and fonts from the brand guide become tokens. A new piece starts with the right values, and a change to one token reaches every piece in the file. Keeping one file per client is an easy way to keep brands apart.
TokensFontsYOU SAY
Create color tokens from these three hex values, call them primary, secondary and paper, and set the heading font to Outfit and the body font to the font in the brand guide.
You get: A brand that is a decision in one place.
- 03
Make a frame at the size of the brief
Set a frame to any size: a square social post, a wide web banner, a card, a poster. You can keep several frames in the same file, so the sizes of one campaign stay together.
Custom frame sizesSeveral sizes in one fileYOU SAY
Create frames at 1080 by 1080, 1200 by 628 and 1080 by 1920 in this file, named Square, Wide and Story.
You get: The empty canvases for the whole brief, in one file.
- 04
Ask for directions, then choose
Describe the brief and ask for three different layouts, not three small variations of one. You look at them next to each other, throw away what does not work, and take the closest one into your own hands.
MCPTokensYOU SAY
Make three banner directions for a coffee roaster's autumn sale, 1080 by 1080, using the brand tokens, with the headline Autumn Roast. Make them clearly different from each other.
You get: Real options to choose from. The choice and the polish are yours.
- 05
Draw the details yourself
A flourish, a hand-made border, a custom shape: draw it with the pen tool as vector paths. Paths stay editable, so the client's late request for a thicker line takes a minute. Boolean path operations are limited today, so combine shapes by drawing the path you want.
Pen toolVector pathsYOU SAY
Draw a thin ornamental border for the card as a vector path, with rounded corners and a small gap at the top center for the logo.
You get: The part of the piece that carries your signature, kept editable.
- 06
Make the other sizes and languages
Once a layout is approved, ask the agent for the other sizes and for translated copy. It keeps the layout rules, reflows the text and tells you where it no longer fits. Wording in another language should be checked by someone who speaks it.
Several sizes in one fileFontsTokensYOU SAY
Turn the approved banner into a 1200 by 628 version and a 1080 by 1920 story, keeping the layout rules. Then translate the card to Indonesian and make sure the longer text still fits.
You get: Every size and language version, with the problems listed.
- 07
Handle changes, then deliver
Leave a note on the layer the client's comment is about. The agent applies it, reports what it changed and marks it done, and the change history lets you revert anything you do not like. Then export PNG, SVG or PDF. If the piece goes to a printer, ask for their requirements, such as size, bleed and color profile, before you export.
NotesChange historyExport PNG, SVG, PDFYOU SAY
Apply my note on the headline of the Square frame to all other frames and tell me what changed.
You get: Changes that reach every size, and a clear record of what happened.
USE CASES
Six jobs you can hand to your agent this week.
A banner with several directions
A client gives you one line of brief and an hour of attention. Showing a single idea is a gamble.
PROMPT Make three clearly different banner directions for a 20 percent weekend sale at a bicycle shop, 1200 by 628, using the brand tokens. Headline: Ride this weekend.
Result: Three layouts side by side. You choose one and finish it by hand.
TokensCustom frame sizesBusiness cards
A small office needs a card for each person, and each name and title is a different length.
PROMPT Create a 90 by 55 mm business card layout and generate one for each of these four people. Tell me where a name or a job title would wrap.
Result: A card per person and a short list of the ones that need your eye. Confirm the printer's requirements before delivery.
Custom frame sizesTokensExport PDFAn invitation with companions
A wedding or birthday needs the main card, a save the date and a digital version, all in one look.
PROMPT Design a 148 by 210 mm invitation with a serif display typeface, an olive and cream palette and a small botanical ornament drawn as vector paths. Then make a matching save the date and a square digital version.
Result: A set that feels like one design, built from the same tokens.
Vector pathsFontsTokensExport PDFA social set in every size
A campaign needs a feed post, a portrait post, a story and a carousel from one idea.
PROMPT From this square post, make a 1080 by 1350 portrait, a 1080 by 1920 story and a five-slide carousel at 1080 by 1350, keeping the headline readable.
Result: All formats in one file, consistent with the original.
Several sizes in one fileTokensExport PNGA menu for a restaurant client
A restaurant changes prices every month, and each change means redoing the menu.
PROMPT Lay out a one-page A4 menu with sections for starters, mains and drinks, prices in rupiah, using the brand tokens. Then update these four prices and tell me if any line now wraps.
Result: A menu you can update in minutes. Confirm the printer's requirements for the final file.
TokensFontsExport PDFA logo on everything
A client has a logo and no applications. You need to show it on a card, a banner and a social avatar before they commit.
PROMPT Show this logo on a business card, a 3 by 1 banner and a 1080 by 1080 avatar. Use the brand tokens and keep the clear space on all three.
Result: A quick set of applications that helps the client decide.

WHAT TO LOOK AT
The features that matter most to you.
Custom frame sizes
A banner, a card, a story and an invitation all start from the exact size of the brief.
Several sizes in one file
Every version of a campaign sits side by side, so you see inconsistencies at once.
Tokens for each client's brand
Colors and fonts are set once, and every piece starts on brand.
Fonts
Several families are bundled, more can be downloaded from a pinned catalog, and you can add your own font files.
MCP connection
Your agent draws directions, sizes and translated versions in the file you are working in.
Guidelines the agent must read
A client's rules are written once and applied to every piece, without being repeated in each prompt.
Pen tool and vector paths
Ornaments, borders and custom shapes stay editable when a client asks for a change.
Notes on layers
A client's comment is attached to the layer it is about, and the agent acts on it.
Change history and revert
You can let the agent work fast, because you can see and undo what it did.
Export as PNG, SVG and PDF
You send what the client or the printer asks for.
QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Can I design banners and business cards in Wonderblok?
Yes. Make a frame at the size you need, place text, shapes, images and vector paths, and export as PNG, SVG or PDF.
Can AI make variations of my design?
Your agent can draw alternative layouts, copy and colors in the same file for you to choose from. You decide what is used.
Does it work for client brands?
Colors and fonts are stored as tokens, so each client's brand can be set once and applied to every piece.
What do I deliver to a printer?
Export PDF or SVG. Ask the printer for their requirements, such as size, bleed and color profile, before you export.
Will the Free plan be enough for client work?
Free includes 100 MCP calls a week, which is enough to try the workflow on a banner or a card. If you use the agent for many sizes and languages across several clients, you will want Pro, which allows 10 million calls a month.
Can I use it for print work?
You can lay out a card, a poster or an invitation at the exact size and export PDF or SVG. Wonderblok does not promise print-ready output on its own, so confirm your printer's requirements for size, bleed and color profile, and check the export against them. It is not a tool for multi-page print documents.
How do I keep my clients' work separate?
A simple way is one file per client. Files are local on your device, each with its own tokens, so one client's colors never touch another's. Real-time sharing with a client or a collaborator is not available yet, so you send exports instead.
