Crickslab Artwork Studio Is Live

Boubyan Warriors chase down 204 with three balls to spare. Nimish Latheif makes 57 off 26 and is named player of the match.

On most cricket feeds, the poster for that match appears the next afternoon, after someone opens a template, types the names, checks the score twice and hopes the spelling holds. On Crickslab, it was ready at the last ball.

That is what Artwork Studio does, and it is now live for every league, board, club and academy on the platform. This post explains what it is, how cricket poster design works when the match record does the typing, and what it costs. Short version: the layouts are free, with no monthly limit.

Artwork Studio makes every post a cricket competition publishes, from the match day card to the champions poster, straight from the competition’s own records on Crickslab. The score, the squad, the crests and the player photos are already there, so the studio fills them in. It checks every post before it can go out, and on the plans that include Autopost, it publishes to Instagram, Facebook and X on its own.

It replaces three tools that used to be separate: Social Media Automation, Media Studio and the AI Artwork Studio. They are one product now, on the Artwork Studio page.

Two ways to do cricket poster design

Generate with AI. The studio paints the player, the score and the crests into a scene nobody else will post. Ask for more variations or tell it what to change. Each variation uses one AI image from your plan.

Design from a layout. League grade layouts for results, squads, standings, scorecards, player and official posts. Pick a look, adjust the text and colour, and it is ready. Layouts are free on every plan with no monthly limit.

Both open in the same editor, land in the same Posts list and pass the same quality check. You can also start from a brief: write what the post is for in one sentence and the studio lays out a first draft.

Pick the subject: a match, a competition, a player or an official. Pick the moment: result, player of the match, scorecard, leading scorers. Anything already posted is ticked, so nothing goes out twice. Choose the artwork, AI or a layout, as a post, a square or a story. The caption is written from the scorecard and checked against it, one per account. Then post now, schedule it, or send it for approval.

A media manager picks the match and the moment. The studio sets the names, the figures, the crests and the photos.

Match posts cover match day, playing XI, result, player of the match, match summary, innings cards, head to head and leading scorers. Competition posts cover the season launch, fixtures by round, points tables, most wins and champions. Player posts cover spotlights, milestones, birthdays, squad selection and awards. Officials get appointments, milestones, birthdays and recognition too.

The same player of the match, the same facts, set six ways: Emerald, Night, Carbon, Carnival, Lime and News desk. Every layout also has a no photos version for the days the photos let you down.

AI artwork and layouts open in the same editor, and it works the way design software does. Click any photo or crest to replace it, crop it or remove its background. Double click text to edit it. Layers, alignment, snapping, rulers, your own fonts, undo, autosave and saved revisions are all there. Turn a portrait into a square or a story and the design reflows; you compare it with the original before it is applied.

Beside the editor sits a design assistant. Say “make the score bigger” or “darker background”, typed or spoken, and it makes the change. It can offer three creative directions for one post and follow up to four reference artworks you upload. It only suggests. The quality check still decides what goes out.

Every post is measured before it can be downloaded, scheduled or published. No text smaller than 22px on a 1080 canvas. Small text at 7:1 contrast. Names in capitals and shortened the way a scorecard would, never cut with an ellipsis. The competition’s own logo at the top, never a placeholder. Nothing over a face, nothing outside its card, and the event’s own date rather than today’s.

Most findings come with a fix. Press Fix, or Fix all, and the check runs again. A finding you are happy with can be accepted, and the reason is kept.

Pick the day, the week or the month. The studio ranks the best performers from that period’s scorecards, best first, with their figures. You choose the winner and the poster is made from their own numbers. Awards cover batter, bowler, all rounder, player, team and umpire, in one format or across all of them.

Write the rule once, in a sentence. “When a match ends, post the result to Instagram and Facebook.” “When the player of the match is named, post their poster to every account.” “On the morning of a match, post the match day card.” Each rule shows whether it is ready for the next match, posts itself or asks someone first, and keeps a history of every run with a retry. Birthdays are found and posted for you. Autopost is included on the Pro and Federation plans.

The whole season sits in one place as a list, a grid or a calendar, with review and approval per post and results per account.

One brand band carries up to 24 sponsors, links on ten platforms and a hashtag on every layout and every format, so each post pays its way. Portrait for the feed, square, and story from one design. Boards running on Crickslab under their own name get artwork under their own name too: the competition’s logo heads every post and the Crickslab mark can be removed on plans that include it.

Designing from a layout is free on every plan. Plans add AI artwork, posts, social accounts, scheduling and Autopost. Prices are in US dollars.

Artwork Studio reads the same records as the rest of the Crickslab ecosystem: tournament management feeds fixtures, results and tables, free scoring in the app provides the last ball, and player profiles hold the figures behind every award. If you run a competition on Crickslab, your next match is already a post.
