AI Graphic Design is Worthwhile Now

I’ve been a skeptic of AI graphic design for a very long time. I’d only ever seen terrible, generic designs that weren’t worth the time it took to make them. Things like incoherent imagery, deformed letters, and dull, boring fonts that didn’t match the aesthetic.

However, over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed something interesting: people’s AI-generated graphics are suddenly looking a lot better.

The text is clearer and correctly written
The visuals are eye-catching
The styles feel intentional and consistent
The fonts are more lively and match the style

So I decided to experiment and see if I could quickly create flyers that came close enough to my own level that I’d feel good sharing them publicly.

These have a bit of an AI-feel to it, so I’d still rate my own flyers as better, but the designs I’ve made are more than good enough for every day social media posts. So far, they’ve converted just as well as my own graphics.

Example:

Below is a fast, simple flyer I made for a mock photography studio.

It has a cohesive style that fits the industry
The cubist graphic is balanced and purposeful
The text is clean, well-written, and formatted correctly
The color palette is spot-on

If this were my real photography studio, I’d feel comfortable posting it on my pages, Nextdoor, or in local Facebook groups.

The workflow:

To make this image, I went over a few things with ChatGPT.

My idea for the main art piece (to make sure the AI fully understood the visual direction)
The ideal audience for a minimalist, cubist art style
A few examples of the format I wanted(ask for recommendations if you're unsure).
Text that is relatable or inspiring to the audience.

After less than 15 minutes and just three mockups, ChatGPT generated one that genuinely impressed me. It was something that needed minimal editing and looked fully professional.

Here’s my chat for reference:

Have you used AI to make flyers or ads yet?

How did it go?

I’d love to see what you’ve made!

If you want a deeper breakdown or more clarity, I can write up a full lesson on this. Let me know.
