Design with AI: posts, logos and product photos
Good-looking images even if you're not a designer. How to write an image prompt and which tool to use when.
AI image generators turn text into pictures. You describe what you need and get several options in seconds.
Which tool when
| Task | Tool |
|---|---|
| Instagram post, presentation, banner — from a template | Canva |
| Text inside the image (poster, cover, logo) | Ideogram |
| Commercially safe images for ads | Adobe Firefly |
| The most artistic, striking results | Midjourney |
The image prompt formula
Image prompts differ from text prompts. Write them in this order:
Subject + setting + style + lighting + composition
Example:
Pistachio cake on a white plate on a wooden table, a bowl of tea beside it,
food photography style, soft morning light,
top-down view, blurred Uzbek patterned tablecloth in the background
Exercise: a logo
- Open Ideogram.
- Type: minimalist logo for a bakery called “Non Uyi”, wheat and traditional Uzbek bread, flat design, two colors.
- Pick the best of the 4 options and “remix” it.
- Upload the result to Canva and make a business card or post.
Important
- AI images sometimes garble hands, text and small details — look closely.
- Don’t use real people, well-known brands or characters without permission.
- Read the service’s terms before commercial use.
Next step: bringing the image to life. That’s in the video lesson.
