🎨 Doing some freelance graphic design work for a client — Importing brand assets into Canva, it's fine for non-designers but SVG and vector graphic import support is a bit buggy.

Changing the colors of a vector graphic imported from a PDF result in solid blocks of color on export. Sad because it *almost* works and could be super powerful for assets if it wasn't so buggy.

I've settled on importing SVGs but they have static colors for some reason, at least they'll be fully scalable.

The tool reads existing codebases and design files to automatically apply company branding. Available to paying subscribers and powered by Opus 4.7, it puts Anthropic in direct competition with established design platforms like Figma and Adobe. Shares of design software companies dropped over 2% on the news. #AI #DesignTools #TechNews https://www.implicator.ai/anthropic-launches-claude-design-for-prototypes-and-slides-powered-by-opus-4-7/
