As AI technology continues to develop and become more accessible, we can expect to see more and more brands adopt AI as a key component of their social media marketing strategies.

Here are the benefits of using AI for your business:

• Minimize the time and resources spent on curating and designing visuals for your social media presence
• Create all your visuals in a consistent style
• Generate imagery that fits specific topics and posts
• Stay creative and experiment with different ideas
• Be playful and turn your concepts into works of art, create paintings in the styles of your favorite artists, and try out different aesthetics for your own brand style

The Structure of an AI Image Prompt

In order to create images with AI, it is necessary to provide some essential details about the visuals you wish to generate.

<aside> ➡️ The structure of a prompt can be boiled down to three main sections:

• Subject: A noun that describes the main focus of the image
• Descriptive terminology: Adjectives and terms that describe your subject and the surrounding environment
• Style & aesthetic: Keywords and keyphrases that give your image a specific style </aside>

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the main elements that should be incorporated into your AI image prompt include:

1. Subject matter:
   1. What is the image about?
   2. Is it a landscape, a portrait, or something else?
2. Placement:
   1. Where should the subject be located in the image? (e.g. foreground, background, left or right)
   2. How should the objects be positioned relative to each other? (e.g. close together, far apart, overlapping)
3. Color scheme:
   1. Should the image be primarily composed of warm or cool colors?
   2. What color palette or color scheme would you like to use? (e.g. monochromatic, complementary, analogous)
   3. Are there any specific colors that should be included or avoided?
4. Lighting: What type of lighting should be used in the image? (e.g. natural light, artificial light)
5. Composition:
   1. What is the main viewpoint or perspective of the image? (e.g. top-down, front-facing, bird's-eye view)
   2. What is the desired framing of the image? (e.g. tight crop, wide-angle)
   3. Are there any specific visual elements that should be emphasized in the image?
6. Style:
   1. What art/photography style would you like to emulate in the image?
   2. How should the overall visual aesthetic of the image be presented? (e.g. realistic, cartoonish, minimalist)

<aside> 💡 NOTE: Be mindful of how much information you provide in your prompt; a high amount of detail can actually work against your vision and create an incomprehensible AI command. To keep it safe, craft shorter prompts with simple and clear terminology.

AI Image Prompts: Dos and Don’ts

Dos ✅

• Clear and concise language: Avoid using complex or ambiguous language that may confuse the AI.
• Descriptions of important elements: Be sure to include details about the most important aspects of the image, such as the subject matter, object placement, color scheme, lighting, composition, and style.
• Key phrases and keywords: Use specific keywords and phrases that the AI can recognize and use to generate the image.
• Prompt length: It’s best to keep your prompts short, especially when you don’t have a clear concept for the image.
• Reference photos: To ensure you provide an accurate depiction of your desired result, find images that match your vision and describe them as clearly as possible.
• Adjust your prompt: If you’re having trouble generating your image, consider removing/adding details in order to make your description as clear as possible.

Don’ts ❌

• Abstract concepts: Minimize the use of abstract concepts in your descriptions as these can be difficult for the AI to interpret. Use simple words to describe moods, feelings, and emotions.
