Prompt Engineering for Creatives: Get Better Results from AI

In this class you’ll learn how to write prompts that get specific, useful results from AI chat and image tools instead of bland, generic output. We’ll cover a simple five-part prompt structure, how to iterate with feedback and examples, how to write visual briefs for image generators, and how to build a reusable prompt library you can rely on every week.

This class is for designers, illustrators, writers, photographers, and makers who have tried AI tools and felt underwhelmed, or who want a clear, responsible way to fit them into their process. No technical background is needed, and any mainstream chat or image tool will work.

By the end you’ll have a personal prompt toolkit built around your own creative work: tested templates, a style sheet describing your voice, a documented revision loop, and a set of image explorations. More importantly, you’ll know how to brief an AI tool clearly while keeping your own judgment and taste in charge.

Build a personal prompt toolkit for a real creative project of your choice, such as launching a print shop, naming a zine, or planning an illustration series.

• Write five reusable prompt templates with clearly marked slots.
• Document one full generate, critique, revise loop, including every prompt you used.
• Create five image prompts that each vary one element of the visual brief.
• Write a one-paragraph style sheet describing your voice or visual look.
• Share your templates and one before-and-after comparison with the class.
