The workflow

Follow the sequence once, then adapt the prompts, checks, and handoffs to your own setup.

5 steps

Step 01

Conceptualize Your Illustrations

Decide on the subject, style, and quantity of the SVG icons or characters you need. Think about the specific emotions or concepts they should convey to fit your brand or project.

Step 02

Write a Descriptive Prompt

Formulate a clear prompt asking the model to generate SVG illustrations. Be specific about the number of characters and their distinct features or emotions to ensure a relevant output.

Example prompt
Make three SVG illustrations of characters with three different sort of, um, faces or emotions on them.
Step 03

Generate the SVG Code

Submit your prompt to Claude Opus 5.5. The model will output the raw SVG code for each individual illustration you requested.

Step 04

Implement and Test the SVG

Copy the generated code. You can save it as an .svg file, paste it directly into your HTML/CSS, or import it into a design tool like Figma to verify it renders correctly.

Step 05

Verify Stylistic Consistency

Review the set of generated illustrations. Check that they share a consistent visual style, making them suitable for use together in a design system, website, or presentation.
