❓If your community was a ROOM, like an actual physical room you could walk into, plonk yourself down in, maybe grab a drink and stay a while… what would it look like? And even more than that, what would it FEEL like?
Because when we look at an image, we don’t just see it do we. We feel it. We imagine ourselves in it. We know pretty quickly whether it’s a “ohhh yesssss, I like it here” vibe or a “hmm, not sure this is my place” one.
So I had a little play (EEEK) and I asked ChatGPT to create an image of THE BACKROOM ← 🚪 I didn’t give it some fancy polished af prompt, I just rambled at it in my usual way, like I’d voice-note it out. TOTES recommend doing it that way btw.
it’s homely, safe, cozy, a little bit messy (OBVS), there are DOGS in the room, it’s a place where we chat, hang out, say real shit, and feel comfy enough to fully be ourselves. It’s a little bit dark, a little bit mysterious, not for everybody, full of messy ideas and half-finished thoughts, very come-as-you-are energy. And yes, I repeated the dogs part because priorities 🐶
And honestly… when the image came back I was like WOOP there it is… That’s it. That’s the vibe. That’s the FEEL.
So now… LFG.
I totes invite you to do this too. Not my way pfffttt, YOUR way.
Go into ChatGPT and in your own words just say something like, “I want you to create an image that encapsulates the essence of my community called XYZ” based on alloy know about it and then just brain-dump the vibe. Ramble. Be messy. Say what you’d say if you were explaining it to a mate….
Then drop your image below in here and tell us… does this actually capture what you WANT people to feel when they step into your community? Is this the energy you think you’re putting out right now? Is this the room you’d wanna walk into?
And here’s the extra juicy bit (HELLO INSIGHT)… take that same image into your own community and ask them, “I made this… does this feel like how it feels to be here?” Because I reckon that convo alone could be pretty eye-opening for all of us 👀
Visuals don’t lie.
They give the BIG TIME vibes and sometimes seeing it like this makes things click in a whole new way.
Thats the OOOFFFFF
So… show us your room. WOOP.
