A great resource for generating posters

The article AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible by John Hartnup on June 7, 2026 ('ERE I AM − JH!) is quite refreshingly helpful.

“The sharp-eyed are still going to recognise these as AI-generated, but they’re distinctive, and I think they’re not ugly.

“So that’s the moral − you don’t have to make posters that look like everyone else’s.

“There’s a further step − you don’t have to ask AI for posters as images that can’t be edited. Claude and Gemini can generate HTML, PNG, PDF, where the text is real text, layers are real layers, you can change fonts, move things around, edit the text […]”

This is great news, of course! And the follow-up archive of 100 Poster Prompts that is truly a treasure trove. It includes samples as well as the prompts that he used! This hero put together

“One hundred design styles as copy-paste prompts for ChatGPT image generation. Each page shows the prompt alongside an example of what it produces — for two events: a village fête and a music gig.

“Some look great in my opinion. Some still look like slop, but with some tweaking they could be fixed for a specific event. In aggregate, they demonstrate the breadth of style available.”

What a treasure trove! What a hero!
