Create a heat map for a slide — AI Prompts for Canva

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

Create a heat map slide for a 10-minute presentation showing website click concentration from last month. Use the highest-traffic area in red, medium in orange, low in yellow, and background in pale gray. Overlay the heat map on a screenshot of the homepage and include a concise caption: 62% of clicks concentrated in the top navigation and search. Deliver a 16:9 slide and a separate PNG for the report. Finish by Tuesday to slot into the Monday rehearsal deck.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I hand the heat map to the product manager, make it approval-ready. Put the key takeaway—62% of clicks in top nav—large and readable at a glance. Ensure the color scale is accessible for colorblind viewers by including pattern or numeric labels, and make the original sample size and date range obvious. Flag any areas where data is sparse and suggest a short alternate caption if the manager wants a softer claim.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Data told me the map but product leader disputes the peak area

Analytics shows the red hotspot is in top navigation, but the product lead says users always click the hero carousel. I’m the analyst and I can’t prove intent from clicks alone. I fear presenting the heat map will start a debate that derails the meeting. What phrasing or annotation will get the point across while preventing a heated argument in front of stakeholders?

Become — change the pattern

I keep making heat maps that execs misread and ask for new ones

I repeatedly deliver heat maps that prompt executives to ask for different slicing—by device, by daypart, by campaign—after the presentation, which doubles my work. I need a habit change so my first version anticipates those questions and reduces rework. What concise additions or prechecks should I include to cut follow-up requests in half?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
