Back to school season means classroom walls, hallway boards, and shop windows all need something fresh. Making those posters by hand takes hours, and stock templates always look like everyone else’s. ChatGPT handles poster design surprisingly well now. It gets typography, layout, and color balance right most of the time, and it can place readable…
There’s a style of travel poster going around right now that looks like it was painted by hand in the 1950s. Soft washes of color, a pale blue sky, a famous landmark, and a few tiny people walking along a river. I wanted a way to make these without rewriting the prompt every time, so…
Flat vector portraits are everywhere right now. Team pages, podcast covers, X profiles, Notion docs, that little circle next to your name in Slack. The look is simple: clean shapes, soft shading, a bold single-color background, and a face that still looks like you. Getting there used to mean hiring an illustrator or spending an…
Flashcards are one of those simple teaching tools that still work. A single card with one clear picture and one clear word does more for a young learner than a full page of text. The good news is you no longer need design software or a stock photo subscription to make them. ChatGPT can generate…
I found a style recently that I can’t stop laughing at. You upload a normal photo to ChatGPT, and it turns you into a lanky, deadpan 90s cartoon character, the kind you’d see in classic MTV animation, surrounded by sarcastic signs like “Sun. Salt. Regret.” and “Life’s a Wave. Catch It or Whatever.” One well-written…
There’s something really satisfying about a messy little doodle. The kind that looks like someone sketched it in the margins of a notebook while they were supposed to be paying attention to something else. Wobbly lines, simple shapes, a bit of personality in every stroke. I’ve been playing with a prompt that turns regular photos…
Pop art has this bold, retro comic book look that instantly grabs attention. The thick black outlines, the flat punchy colors, the halftone dots in the background. It feels nostalgic and modern at the same time. You can turn any photo of yourself into this style using ChatGPT. You just upload your picture, paste a…
I saw one of these birthday cards floating around and couldn’t stop looking at it. A giant black letter, and a kid peeking out through the open curves of the letter like they’re climbing through it. Simple, clean, and surprisingly hard to find a good prompt for. So I cracked it open and built a…
You know those edgy fan-made posters with a black and white portrait, giant red letters behind the person, and torn newspaper textures everywhere? They look like something pulled straight off a cinema wall. I tried recreating that look with ChatGPT and the results came out better than I expected. The best part is you only…
There’s a certain type of travel poster that keeps showing up on X and Instagram lately. A clean side profile of a person, and inside their silhouette, the landscape of a place they love. The face stays sharp while the body becomes the scenery. It looks like a movie poster, and people stop scrolling to…
