Course Outline for AI Image Generation Introduction

Introduction to image-generation prompt engineering

  • Understanding how AI imaging tools interpret text: subject, style, composition, lighting
  • How image generation is integrated into ChatGPT
  • Why prompt engineering is essential: separating subject description, composition/material control and hand-off readiness
  • Evaluating examples of raw prompts and predicting how image creation AI tools will interpret them

Crafting precise subject and scene description

  • Use of visual-art terminology to enhance clarity (for example "low-angle view", "warm rim-light", "minimal flat-design")
  • Positive specification rather than negative exclusion
  • Practice: refining basic prompts into detailed scene descriptions

Composition, lighting and material specification

  • Why composition, depth and balance still matter in generative images; model does not invent design theory
  • How to specify lighting direction, texture quality, material surfaces and depth of field
  • Exercise: convert a raw prompt into a production-ready prompt with composition and material constraints

Variant generation and editing-ready outputs

  • Prompt design that anticipates downstream editing or hand-off (e.g. layers in Photoshop)
  • Strategies for generating multiple variants and selecting best-fit outputs
  • Crafting a prompt that yields distinct variants suitable for A/B testing or retouching

Image creation behaviours

  • Understanding a tool's strengths and limitations: text in image, heavy subject lists, complex interactions
  • How to ask for images "in the style of", including model behaviour and style references
  • Comparing the output of two different prompt styles in different image generation tools and analysing the differences

Mapping use-cases and integrating workflow

  • Matching prompt patterns to professional scenarios: marketing hero visuals, concept art, social media imagery
  • Workflow integration: from prompt to generation, to retouch, to hand-off, to delivery
  • Workshop a real-world scenario, draft prompt, generate image, review and refine

Advanced prompt iteration, review and next steps

  • Iterative improvement: refining prompts based on output evaluation; stacking constraints; role-play prompting ("act as a …")
  • Review of three "poor prompt to good prompt" case studies
  • How to continue improving your prompt-engineering competence after the course
  • QandA and wrap-up
