Welcome to the third lesson in the PrintJourney course, where we'll explore the incredible AI image generation features that will revolutionize your print-on-demand design process. PrintJourney integrates with several AI models, providing you with the tools you need to iterate on your designs and streamline your workflow, ultimately allowing you to publish more products for less money.
Choosing an AI Image Generation Model
To get started, head to the PrintJourney homepage and click on "Generate Design." This will open the "Create a Design" modal, where you can choose from various AI image generation models, including:
- Stable Diffusion 3
- Stable Diffusion 3 Turbo
- Stable Diffusion XL
- DALL-E 3
Each model offers different options and parameters, so you can experiment to find the one that best suits your needs.
Prompt Engineering Basics
Images are generated using prompts, which can be a complex topic worthy of an entire course. For this lesson, we'll stick to basic styles and prompts to give you an idea of how things work. However, you'll need to do some homework to figure out the best prompts for the products you want to create.
Using PrintJourney's Brainstorming Tool
If prompt engineering seems overwhelming, don't worry! PrintJourney's brainstorming tool can generate prompts for you based on your desired niche or subject. Simply click "Import Prompt" to open the prompts drawer, enter your subject (e.g., "guitars and technology"), and click "Generate Prompt." You'll receive five prompts ready to be used for image generation.
Saving and Searching Prompts
PrintJourney allows you to save prompts to your prompt library for future use. You can also search for previously saved prompts, making it easy to find inspiration or reuse successful prompts.
Customizing Aspect Ratios and Generating Multiple Images
In addition to prompt engineering, you can change the aspect ratio of your generated images and create multiple images at once. This is particularly useful when designing for various print-on-demand products, such as yoga mats or shower curtains.
Integrating with Midjourney
Stay tuned for a future lesson dedicated to integrating PrintJourney with Midjourney. You'll learn how to generate images within Discord and publish them directly to your Printify store without ever leaving the console.
We hope this lesson has provided you with a solid foundation for generating AI-powered designs within PrintJourney. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below, and we'll see you in the next lesson!
