Ideas into Visuals with AI by Bridget Burke

Have you ever wished you could turn an idea in your head into a picture, chart, invitation, diagram, or beautifully organized plan? AI is opening an exciting new world of visual creativity and you do not need to be an artist or designer to explore it.

Join AI expert Bridget Burke for this lively three-class series where we will experiment with turning words, information, and photographs into clear, useful, and creative visuals. You will learn how to describe what you want, choose the right visual approach, try different styles, improve your results, and check that everything is accurate and easy to understand.

No design experience is required. Just bring your curiosity, your ideas, and a willingness to play!

Start with the Right Prompt: Visual Basics, Styles, and Methods with Bridget Burke

Ever ask AI to create something and wonder, “Why doesn’t this look anything like what I imagined?” The secret often begins with the prompt.

Join AI expert Bridget Burke for a friendly, visual introduction to creating with AI. We will explore the many kinds of visuals AI can help make, from illustrations and photographs to charts, diagrams, and editable graphics. You will learn how to choose a visual style, describe the layout and mood, decide what needs to be exact, and write prompts that give AI clearer direction.

We will compare simple and detailed prompts, improve results together, and learn what to check before sharing or printing a visual. No art, design, or technical skills required just bring your curiosity and imagination!
