Have you considered creating images in AI?

Creating images with AI is an exciting new technology that opens up a world of creative possibilities. Whether you're a professional designer, a hobbyist photographer, or just want to have fun creating visual content, AI tools can give you new tools and methods to explore.

Here are some of the things you can do with AI image generation:

Turn your ideas into images in seconds: With AI, you can create images based on text descriptions. This means you can visualize your ideas, whether you have a specific vision in mind or just want to experiment.

Create unique and engaging images: AI-generated images can be both realistic and abstract, giving you endless possibilities to create images that stand out from the crowd.

Save time and resources: AI can automate many of the time-consuming processes involved in image creation, allowing you to focus on your creative vision.

In my work, I usually take my pictures myself or I buy a ready-made mockup on Etsy, Creative Market or the like. Today I want to share my creative process, from idea to finished image.

From idea to finished image:

1. AI Magic:

Everything starts with an idea. I use Adobe Firefly, a magical tool that can turn my ideas into images in seconds. Using text descriptions, I can create AI mockups that provide a visual representation of my thoughts.

2. Customize the format:

Once I have my AI image, I import it into Illustrator. There I fine-tune the image and adapt the format to the different platforms I want to use it on. It can be Instagram, Reels, Pinterest, Etsy or my webshop. Each platform has its own image size and format requirements, so it's important to adjust the image accordingly.

3. Procreate power:

To add detail and tweak the image to perfection, I move it into Procreate. This app gives me complete creative freedom to edit the image exactly as I want. I can add illustrations, text, filters and effects to create a unique and personal image.

4. Share with the world:

Once I'm happy with the image, it's time to share it with the world! I post it on my social platforms and look forward to seeing how my followers react.

The challenge:

One of the biggest challenges in my creative process is inputting the right text into Firefly to create a natural and realistic image. It takes patience and experimentation, but it's worth it when I see the results.

The result:

By combining AI tools with traditional editing, I have created a flexible and efficient way of working to create great images for social media. This method gives me the freedom to express my creativity and create images that are both engaging and visually appealing.

Tip:

Here are some tips for creating your own beautiful images:

Experiment with different text descriptions in Firefly. Be creative and dare to try new things.

Use Procreate to add personal touches and adapt the image to your specific style.

Combine AI tools with traditional editing. The best of both worlds!

By using these tips, you can create unique and engaging images that will make your social media posts stand out from the crowd.

Good luck!
