Theme-agnostic Default

Design Brand Studio now starts from a neutral Default theme. It shows the studio is fully customizable and isn't tied to any one theme: pick the identity that fits your brand, or start from a blank slate.

Improved

Refined theme picker

The theme selector was adjusted so switching between Default and the other themes is clearer and easier.

Improved

Interface improvements

Smaller refinements across the editor for a cleaner, more consistent experience.

Color palettes for Aurora

Aurora now comes in eight palettes: Original, Forest, Sage, Cobalt, Volt, Ember, Dune and Coast. Switch palettes and the whole board recolors instantly.

New

Type pairing

Choose your brand typeface from eight Google Fonts, from clean sans like Inter and Space Grotesk to display serifs like Fraunces and Playfair. Every block on the board follows your choice.

New

New grids

Sixteen layout presets to start your board: uniform grids from 2 × 2 to 5 × 3, plus compositions like Split, Hero, Collage, Mosaic, Posters and Bento.

Smarter Auto fill

New

Shaping the UI

The editor is getting its final look: the bottom toolbar moved into a floating side panel on the right, a slim header with an editable board name, and quiet secondary links below. Same dark surface, one accent, hairline borders everywhere.

How I built this & What's new

Two small pages that tell the story of the project, starting with this one.

Export your kit

Render the whole board to an image in one step. Editor chrome hides itself during capture so only the kit remains.

New

Asset picker

A "What goes here?" panel lets you choose what each block holds: logo, palette, browser mockup or app icon.

New

Board modules

The empty grid cells became real modules. Each one renders its own content (logo, palette, browser, app icon) and can be merged with its neighbours by dragging.

Improved

A change of direction

The first prototype was a gradient board. We kept its foundations (tokens, grid, undo history) and pivoted the product into a brand kit generator. Tailwind moved to v4 along the way.

New

The wireframe

Where everything started: a board on a 24px grid, a fixed side panel and a footer. No content yet, just the structure that every later module would sit in.
