What You'll Learn
- Construct effective image prompts using structured prompt anatomy
- Apply artistic styles, movements, and aesthetics to AI-generated images
- Design compositions with intentional layout, perspective, and focal points
- Evaluate and iterate on generated images to achieve desired results
- Differentiate between platform capabilities across DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion
- Assess commercial licensing requirements for AI-generated images
Course Syllabus
A year ago, creating professional-quality images required either artistic skill, expensive software, or a designer on retainer. Today, a well-crafted text prompt generates stunning visuals in seconds.
But “stunning” doesn’t happen by accident. The gap between mediocre AI images and professional-quality ones isn’t the tool—it’s the prompt. Most people type vague descriptions and get vague results. This course teaches you to write prompts that produce exactly what you envision.
You’ll learn the structure behind effective prompts, master artistic vocabulary that unlocks specific styles, understand composition principles, and navigate the practical realities of commercial use. By the end, you’ll generate images that look intentional, not accidental.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need artistic experience?
Not at all. This course teaches you to communicate with AI image generators through text prompts. Understanding basic concepts like composition helps, and we teach those from scratch.
Which AI image tool should I use?
We cover DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. Each has strengths. DALL-E is easiest to start with, Midjourney produces the most aesthetic results, and Stable Diffusion offers the most control. Try the free tiers to find your preference.
Can I use AI-generated images commercially?
It depends on the platform and your subscription level. Lesson 7 covers licensing in detail. Generally, paid tiers of major platforms grant commercial rights, but there are important nuances.
Will this course become outdated as AI tools evolve?
The principles—prompt structure, composition, style vocabulary—remain relevant across tool versions. Specific platform features change, but the fundamentals we teach transfer to any new tool.
