Just created my first AI images! Still needs some work, but I'm stoked with the results and possibilities ahead.

When working on a project, you can find a style and color grade that you like, a film texture, and lock it into your entire campaign. It doesn't mean you can't change it up in different shots. It just means that it has an overall cohesive look and feel. You can use reference images as well and ask Claude or Chat to extracted color palettes, film-grade language, lighting direction, lens choices, composition from them to create your locked style and to help in writing your prompts. I attached a PDF here and in the classroom section for you to download and keep when working on your own images when you want to create a similar color grade or lighting style. I will use my Americana project as an example. Core visual identity Sun-struck 1970s roadside Americana: motel-pool glamour, chrome diner nostalgia, tactile beauty editorial, and intimate direct-gaze portraiture. The look is richly warm and contrasty, not faded or pastel, with real skin texture, sun-baked shadows, restrained teal/cyan environments, and cherry-pink/red fashion accents.

If you could learn anything this week with AI, what would you like learn? What would you really want to know right now that would help you? What could I best share with you that would really be of value to you?
