Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made incredible strides in various fields, including generating images. Today, AI models are capable of creating impressive visual content based on prompts. In this beginner's guide, we'll walk you through the steps of prompting AI to create album art, using Boomy’s new DALL-E album art generator as an example. DALL-E is an AI model developed by OpenAI that generates images from textual prompts. Let's get started!

Step 1: Understand the Basics

Before diving into the process, it's essential to understand how AI generates images based on prompts. AI models like DALL-E use deep learning techniques to learn patterns and representations from vast datasets of images and their corresponding textual descriptions. These models are then fine-tuned on specific tasks, such as image generation, to become proficient at creating images from textual input.

Step 2: Craft Your Image Prompt

To generate an image, you'll need to create a textual prompt that conveys the concept or idea you want the AI to visualize. Be clear and concise in your prompt to get the desired results. For example:

"A smiling cat riding a skateboard."
"A futuristic cityscape with flying cars and neon lights"
"A peaceful beach scene with palm trees and a colorful sunset"

Step 3: Submit Your Prompt

Once you've crafted your prompt, click the “Generate Art” button below the prompt space.  The AI model will process your input and attempt to generate an image that matches the description.

Step 4: Review and Refine

After the AI generates the image, carefully review the output. The results may not always be perfect, but they can be fascinating nonetheless. If you're not satisfied with the first attempt, you can try refining your prompt, or even start from scratch. Below are the current amount of generations allowed for each Boomy membership:

Whether you're using it for personal projects, design inspiration, or simply for the joy of creation, AI image generation can be an exciting and enriching experience.
