Mastering AI Visual Art and Storytelling w/ Heather Cooper
About this episode
For many, the first "gateway drug" for generative AI is text-to-image, using tools like DALL-E and Midjourney to instantly flex your creative muscles.
Heather Cooper is a master of AI visual art and storytelling.
She has quickly become one of the most respected voices in the AI visual art/storytelling space. Her Substack, Visually AI, shares all kinds of tips and tricks on how to make better AI images. And she's also just really, really, really good at creating stunning AI visual artwork.
This episode is for anyone who either 1) has ever dabbled in visual AI and wants to get better; or 2) enjoys hearing stories about how people turn side-hustles into proper hustles, and what we can learn from their success.
We cover: Her strategies for learning and mastering visual storytelling with AI, and how worked to make prompts more inclusive and representative (7:00); her favorite use cases for ChatGPT (20:00); advice she gives people when they're starting out with visual AI art (22:00); her favorite tools, and the sneaky power of spreadsheets (26:30); hyper-specific prompting tips and tricks (38:30); and much much more.
