Are you a designer or marketer looking to streamline your workflow and create stunning posters effortlessly? Welcome to the world of AI-powered design! In this tutorial, I’ll show you how I use AI tools to create professional, eye-catching marketing posters in just three simple steps. No prior experience with AI is needed. I’ll walk you through the process, from selecting the right style and background to fine-tuning the details. Discover how AI can transform your creative process, making it faster and more efficient. Join me on this journey to unlock new design possibilities and elevate your marketing game. Dive in and see how easy and fun poster creation can be with AI!

Make AI Marketing Posters in Three Quick Steps

Step 1 Prepare Prompt📝

  • Theme: Defines the theme of the poster and the meaning it conveys. Indicating the intent and scenarios used for that poster helps the AI match to the elements that convey the sentiment under that theme.
  • Detail: Clearly outline the elements needed for the poster, such as the main theme, background, color palette, or short text. The more detailed the description, the better the AI will match your vision.
  • Inspirational references: Use references to guide the AI, drawing on specific art styles, historical periods or famous artworks, taking care not to directly imitate them, please. This can provide great ideas for poster backgrounds and help achieve a more artistic result.

Of course, for example, like the theme poster creation I shared earlier, you can use ChatGPT to create a prompt efficiently. Describe your needs in the three ways mentioned above, and GPT can help you complete a nice framework, and you can continue to modify it. I’ll share a few nice examples below, so keep reading.

Step 2 AI Generated Background🎨

🤖AI tool: maze.guru

Oh yeah, you can also use the “Prompt Tutor” in Maze Guru for prompt inspiration.💡

Ok, let’s go into background creation. You can select the model character for dialog creation on the page above, of course here DALLE, Midjourney, Niji-journey, SD3 all need subscription to use, if you want long term service you can contact me to help you get a good discount because I’m a contracted author for them have a good discount.👀

So, my habit is still to use Midjourney as it is more suitable for most stylized creations. The Prompt for the first example I’m going to show is below:

an explosion of light orange and light blue on a white background, in the style of georg jensen, finely rendered textures, curvaceous simplicity, miki asai, innovative page design, high speed film, streamlined forms

You can change the colors in it, and then we choose the stylization 100, size 16:9.👇

Here’s the full set of generated backgrounds.

Let’s pick one of these for step three.

Step 3 Edit and Customize⚒️

👨‍💻Design tool: canva.com

After creating the AI background, use Canva’s editing tools to adjust the layout, add text and fine-tune the visuals to complete the overall design.

Upload an AI background, here we adjusted the transparency of the background image to 69% as needed to visually soften the saturation.

Then add your desired logo, theme, copy and coordinate the overall needed elements. With a simple design you can have the effect image below.👇

By this point you’re basically done with all the production, with AI it’s really very simple, you don’t need to spend a lot of time designing graphics, picking out templates, and looking for free material, of course this is for marketers who aren’t good at designing.

If you are interested in this type of minimalist business style backgrounds, I have a couple more really great prompts to share, by all means, feel free to use them, of course the content is designed certain artists style, please be aware of copyright infringement issues, commercial use requires caution.
