One-page canvas
A one-page planning canvas of ruled blocks, for a post that lays a plan out as named boxes to fill in, like a 'business model canvas' — each page fills in its own block in handwriting while the rest stay ruled, with what goes in it below, and the closing page shows the 'one-page canvas' complete.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the One-page canvas for posts that teach, when the message is a list. It is built first to teach.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.
Platforms and sizes

Carousel of 3–10 slides. Each size is laid out for its canvas, not cropped; the sample above is the 4:5 version.
What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Use it only when the post lays a plan or model out as named blocks the reader fills in — never for a story or a sequence of events.
- Each row is one block: its short name and what goes in it (the question to answer), from the copy.
- The cover title names what the canvas plans; the closing line invites the reader to fill in their own.
Visual rules
- A white canvas sheet of ruled blocks (one row up to three blocks, else two rows) on a pale brand ground.
- Each block page fills its own block — pale tint, a tool mark and the block's name written by hand — with the block's body set below the sheet.
- The cover shows every block's name in the empty canvas; the closing page shows the canvas filled in.
