Playground · Internal Tool for XYi Design

At XYi, the "Digital Studio Toolkit", is an Adobe InDesign panel I built with Claude code for myself and my Team to use, automating the repetitive parts of artworking.

It covers multiple aspects of the artworking process within the team: launching MAGI (XYi's in-house tool), design helpers for matching sizes and feathering edges, and export scripts that save as PDF, JPG and PSD ready for delivery. Here's the panel itself, with what each section does.

→ MAGI

Launches the in-house tool developed by XYi for automating and localising large batches of files.

→ SETUP

Preps the documents: page and size, and pulls in a slug/legend with pre-filled information.

→ UTILS

Everyday housekeeping: swap assets, trim, sync swatches.

→ DESIGN

Resizing, cropping and feathering edges of elements in the document.

→ EXPORT

One-click export to PDF, PNG/JPG or flat static JPGs.

→ LAUNCH TOOLS

Shortcuts to speed up localising, saving and exporting optimised PSDs from InDesign for film launches.
