AI Image Generators
Using either of the image generators below (Midjourney is the better experience of the two, in my opinion), work with the AI to create images.
Midjourney.com
If using a cell phone, Midjourney may require you to download the Discord app before using it. Once you've entered the Midjourney server, click "Welcome" on the left hand side for instructions on how to create images.
DALL-E
Things to try
1. Try a one word prompt.
2. Try a short phrase prompt.
3. Try a very long, complex prompt.
4. Test out how changing one or two words in your prompts results in a different image.
5. Pay attention to what others in the servers are creating and what their prompts are like. What can you learn from them?
6. Try a prompt that includes the phrase "in the style of..." and fill in an artist's name to see how the AI interprets it.
