Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With AI — Part 2

AI-Generated Visuals: Ads, Infographics, Comic Strips — and How to Actually Create Them

When you think of AI visuals, you might imagine generic stock images or cartoon faces.
But the game has leveled up.

Today, you can:
✅ Design ad campaigns
✅ Create professional infographics
✅ Build shareable comic strips
✅ Mockup product photo shoots

All without touching Photoshop.

🎨 Wild Visual Projects You Can Build with AI

1. Rapid Ad Prototyping
Imagine testing 10 different ad versions before paying a designer.
You can now brainstorm ad concepts and generate full visuals with AI.

How:

  • Use ChatGPT-4 Vision or DALL·E 3

  • First prompt AI to brainstorm ad concepts

  • Then ask it to generate visuals based on the best one

Example:

"Brainstorm a Facebook ad concept for a Zara hoodie targeting Gen Z.
Then generate a lifestyle image based on that idea."

Prompt for ad concept

✅ You get creative directions and images ready for A/B testing.

2. Infographics Without Designers
Visual storytelling? AI can now create data-driven infographics.

How:

  • Prompt ChatGPT-4 Vision:

"Create a detailed infographic about why Vancouver is so rainy."

  • It generates mountains, clouds, and real landmarks — not generic clipart.

✅ Great for blog posts, reports, and social media shareables.

3. Turn Content Into Comic Strips
Want to make your newsletter or blog post go viral?
Summarize it as a comic strip using AI-generated scenes and captions.

How:

  • Summarize key points into story beats

  • Use image models to generate scenes

  • Stitch them into a panel layout

✅ Way more engaging than another text post.

🧰 Tools You Can Use

  • ChatGPT-4 (Vision mode) — visual brainstorming + ad generation

  • Midjourney — artistic illustrations

  • Canva + AI assets — final polish

  • Playground AI — quick composite generation

🚀 Pro Tip:

Always brainstorm concepts first before generating images.
The more creative your idea, the better your AI visuals.
