AI Image Generation Practice
Self-Project: Just For Fun
”Still can’t beat ‘em so gonna definitely have to join them…”
Brief:
Upskill in AI photo generation so that I can create better mock-ups for Havas pitches.
Solution:
Lots and lots of trial and error.
Figure out what you actually want from the image, really picture it in your head and maybe draw it out. Find references of styles you like. What makes that photo successful? What makes it look real - creases in the tablecloth?
How do you describe it so that you get to the image you really need? What language is the AI taking from the prompt to create the wrong/right image.
The more generations you do for one image, the worse the quality. Take the learnings from previous generations, create a new chat and write it in one prompt.
Does your image look real? Is it how you pictured? What will make it look better?
Wibble Wobble Baby
First Few Prompts
A surreal, vibrant, highly saturated photograph of a whimsical outdoor tea party in a sundrenched, lush wildflower meadow under a vivid blue sky. The The main focus is a woman with a sleek black bob with a straight fringe and striking emerald eyeshadow stares directly at the lens with an eyebrow raised. She wears a blue denim vintage jumpsuit with elbow-length sleeves. With one hand she holds the plaid pastel tablecloth, and in the other, a teaspoon with bright orange translucent jelly on it. On the table in front of her is a big plate. On the plate is a big translucent orange gelatin mold. The plate is garnished with the text "WIBBLE WOBBLE BABY" meticulously created from double cream. Whimsical kitsch aesthetic, retro 1970s pop art vibe, crisp commercial photography.
(note, I added nails and cream on top of jelly after the first prompt. I wanted the image to have a more whimsical, surreal vibe. Lighter skies, fluffier clouds, prettier flowers.)
Final Prompt
A surreal, lightly coloured photograph of a whimsical outdoor tea party in a sundrenched, lush wildflower meadow under a light blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The wildflowers are pastel yellow, pink, white. The main focus is a woman with a sleek black bob with a straight fringe. She sits close to the lens at a slight angle away from the lens. The woman has striking emerald eye shadow and stares seductively at the lens. She wears a blue denim vintage jumpsuit with elbow-length sleeves. She rests one hand with long pink nails on the plaid pastel tablecloth, and in the other, a teaspoon with bright orange translucent jelly on it. The hand holding the table has long, pink nails. On the table in front of her is a big plate. On the plate is a big translucent orange gelatin mold with a swirl of whipped cream on top. The plate is garnished with the text "WIBBLE WOBBLE BABY" meticulously created from double cream. Whimsical kitsch aesthetic, retro 1970s vibe, crisp commercial photography.
A Sunday Afternoon
Inspiration
First Few Prompts
Show me a creative miniature diorama where a tiny miniature model figure made of gothic clay is painting a mural on a human sized vertically oriented canvas displayed within a large minimalist white frame and a wide mat board. The painting is an impressionistic landscape of a vibrant sunset over the ocean. The artwork is characterized by heavy, textured palette knife or thick brush stroke (impasto technique) that gives the scene a dynamic and tactile quality. The sky is a dramatic mix of colours. The sun is a small bright white-gold circle sitting low on the horizon, radiating intense light. The clouds burn with fiery reds, oranges and golden yellows. As the eye moves upward and outward, these warm tones transition into soft lavenders, purple and a mixture of light blue and grey tones. The painting is visibly a work in progress. The top half is heavily painted. The lower half is mostly unpainted, it shows the raw white canvas. The tiny miniature model figure is dressed in denim overalls and stands on a wooden ladder. He is painting just above the point where the painting becomes unfinished. He is holding a miniature wooden paint palette in one hand and a tiny palette knife in the other. Clean studio lighting, sharp focus, minimalistic.
