AI Image Generation for Work: Better Visuals with GenAI

AI image generation is now a useful workplace skill for people who need to explain ideas quickly and visually.

This course shows you how to use generative AI to create practical images for presentations, training materials, internal documents, intranet posts, concept visuals, and communication assets. The aim is not to make flashy artwork. It is to create visuals that make ideas easier to understand and help your work look more polished.

You will learn when AI image generation is useful and when another tool would be a better choice. AI can help with speed, clarity, and early visual ideas, but it also needs careful use. The course covers risks around real people, data visuals, product images, accuracy, trust, and compliance.

You will also learn prompting techniques that lead to better results. This includes writing clearer image prompts, using style and composition, avoiding common mistakes with negative prompts, and applying the TACOS framework: Task, Action, Constraints, Output, and Style. You will also see how meta prompting can help you build stronger prompts more quickly.

Creating the first image is only part of the process. The course also shows you how to review, refine, and improve AI-generated images through focused iteration. You will learn how to spot what is not working and ask for specific changes instead of using vague instructions such as "make it better" or "make it more realistic."

The course also covers reference images and how they can guide style, composition, and visual direction. You will look at workplace tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365 image tools, ChatGPT, and other image-generation platforms.

By the end of the course, you will be able to create clearer, more professional AI-generated visuals for everyday workplace tasks. You will also know how to review those visuals responsibly before using them.

This course is for beginner and intermediate professionals. You do not need a technical background, design experience, or previous experience with AI image generation. You only need a practical reason to create better visuals at work.
