What Copilot does in graphic design & design

Core tasks in graphic design & design
  • Image and vector creation: generating and editing concepts, illustrations, icons and variants (background removal, extending, upscaling, vectorising)
  • UI and web design: turning text prompts and sketches into wireframes, prototypes and code, and managing design systems
  • Brand management: keeping brand guidelines, logos and asset libraries centrally managed, with automatic tagging and checks against brand rules
  • Production and variants: converting one design into formats, languages and channels for print, social and campaigns
Where Copilot is strong
  • Deep Microsoft 365 integration
  • Grounding on your own data via Microsoft Graph
  • Strong enterprise governance and compliance
  • Choice between GPT and Claude models

Copilot has a concrete GDPR caution point. The Claude models within Copilot officially fall outside the EU Data Boundary. If you want to process strictly EU-only, exclude the Claude models in the admin panel. Weigh this heavily before you deploy it in graphic design & design.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

When it comes to AI imagery, pay attention to two things: rights and data. Rights: with Recraft, images from the free plan of Recraft itself are not licensed for commercial use, and only the paid plans give you full ownership. Adobe says it trains its Firefly models on licensed material and public domain content, not on user content. Data: with Kittl, training on your content is switched on by default in the Starter and Professional plans (the administrator can turn it off), while it is off in Organization and Enterprise. CELUM (Berlin) states in its privacy policy that data is also processed outside Europe, including in Canada and the US. If you want to keep your brand files within the EU: Frontify offers hosting in Frankfurt, Bynder on AWS Frankfurt and Figma on Azure in the EU. Penpot can be self-hosted. Do not upload client material under NDA to a free account, and record in your quote whether and how you use AI.

Microsoft 365 Copilot (business) falls under the EU Data Boundary and does not train on tenant data. Consumer Copilot does train by default, with an opt-out.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
Caution the Claude models within Copilot officially fall outside the EU Data Boundary. If you want strictly EU-only processing, exclude the Claude models in the admin panel.
