How the Studio Works
A tour of the CursorCulture creation workspace and the controls you will use most.
On this page
The AI Studio is where a described idea becomes artwork. It holds the prompt input, model selection, generation controls, the canvas, and the paths into your saved work.
Creation controls
- Prompt input
- Where you describe the design you want. The clearer the description, the closer the result.
- Model selection
- Choose which AI model interprets your prompt. Models differ in style, detail handling, and cost.
- Generation controls
- Start a generation and add further generated elements to the design.
- Canvas
- The working area sized to your chosen mousepad format, showing the design as it will be printed.
Main menu and saved work
The main menu is the way back to everything you have created or can start from.
- My DesignsDesigns you saved, ready to reopen and continue.
- TemplatesYour own saved starting points for reuse.
- Browsing Community DesignsPublic designs from other creators you can view and remix.
Layers and canvas manipulation
Each completed generation becomes a layer. Layers are selected independently and can be arranged until the composition works.
- Positioning — move a selected layer anywhere on the canvas.
- Scale — make a layer larger or smaller.
- Rotation — turn a layer to fit the composition.
- Layer order — decide which element sits in front of another.
- Remove — delete a layer you no longer want.
Start Over
Start Over clears the current working design so you can begin from an empty canvas. Save anything you want to keep first — see Starting Over and Restoring Designs for what is recoverable.
Final customization
When the artwork is finished, the customization flow confirms the physical product options and shows the final preview you approve before checkout.
