Before revising an older illustration on Spoonflower, I snapped this screenshot. As you can see, the new interface doesn't like certain characters any more, so that needed changing. My title was boring. I didn't use all the tags, and some could be combined. Where was my imagination?

 

 

I don't have ChatGPT Pro nor can I ever imagine being able to afford it. But I did sign up for the free version and proceeded to ask it for help, "I need help creating a title, description, and tags for a print-on-demand Spoonflower image to be used for fabric and wallpaper."

C asked me for this information, which may help some of you:

Design Description: Autumn leaves [sycamore, maple, birch, aspen, willow] scattered across a white background. 

Style: watercolor

Color Palette: yellow, light orange, dark orange, yellow-orange, light olive green, dark olive green, a hind of red,

Usage: wallpaper, fabric for home decor like pillows, sheets, throws, table runners, napkins, curtains, upholstery,

Mood/Theme: soothing, cozy, nostalgic, peaceful,

Size/Scale: fairly large-scale pattern

I needed to regenerate two times, so I received two good examples from C. I combined them and their tags into the AFTER image above.

My Design

Tablecloth

So what C does is guide me through my own thoughts about the design, then applies that information into a narrative that would invite viewers to take an interest.

Thanks, Madda! That was an helpful class!
