This week, I created a banner for the website using Microsoft Designer AI. It took me several iterations of the prompt to create this, but it worked out to something along the lines of “Brass trumpet in the style of origami, simple, yellow paper” with the specific dimensions which turned out to still not be compatible with my site. That said, it is still visible at the top of my site, albeit cropped depending on the browser and size of window. 

AI image creation has become remarkably useful for me in the past several weeks, and I seem to find new applications for it every time I use it. Most recently, I used this program to create the title graphic for the slideshow of my group project, as well as using it to create a visual to go along with a “holophrastic slogan” (a phrase that encapsulates a lot of meaning in few words) for another inquiry project. I have attached the image below here – it was also generated on Microsoft Designer. 

Though it takes a lot of practice to create the right prompts, these AI programs are a great way to ensure you can get the exact graphic you are looking for; alternatively, sometimes the images can be beyond what you could have possibly imagined, which can be a blessing and a curse.
