Prompt to Picture: How AI Can Help You Create Custom Visuals

Need unique visuals for a presentation or assignment? Join us to see how university-supported AI tools can help. We will guide you through the basics of “prompt crafting” — the art of telling the AI what you want, while comparing the unique features of U-M GPT (GPT Image -1) and Google Gemini’s (Nano Banana) No experience needed; just curiosity!

Workshop Outline

1. Introduction to U-M GPT (GPT-Image-1) and Google Gemini
2. Craft effective prompts for the best results
3. Tips for overcoming common challenges
4. Ethical and Responsible Use
5. Wrap-Up and Resources 

Are you curious about how AI can help you create custom visuals? In this workshop, you’ll use tools like DALL-E 3 in U-M GPT and Adobe Firefly to design professional-looking images.

Using simple text descriptions, we’ll show you how to turn your ideas into images. You’ll also explore Firefly editing tools, like adding or removing objects, changing backgrounds, and enhancing photos.

This session is perfect for faculty, staff, and students looking to create eye-catching visuals for assignments, presentations, teaching materials, or communications
