Social Post Images That Do Not Look Generic
Make AI images for social feeds that look specific to you, not like everyone else's
A taste of a lesson
I run a small bakery. My AI images of bread look amazing but kind of fake. How do I fix that?
Amazing and fake usually means too perfect. Real bakeries have flour dust, uneven crusts and morning light. Better still, photograph your actual loaves with your phone and use AI only for things a camera cannot easily get, like a seasonal illustrated background. If you do generate, try: 'candid phone photo of rustic sourdough loaves cooling on a metal rack, flour dust, early morning side light from a window'. Also, never show AI bread as if it is your product. Which of your items would you photograph first?
Written by the teacher as an example. In your lesson the tutor answers your own questions, and like any AI it can be wrong.
What you will be able to do
- Recognise the default AI look and write prompts that avoid it
- Pick image formats that suit each placement and leave room for interface overlays
- Combine your real photos with AI images and add clean text in a design tool
- Decide when to label AI images and what never to fake

About this tutor
For small creators, shop owners, coaches and community groups who post regularly and are tired of AI images that look like everyone else's. This tutor teaches you to start from your own message and audience, choose formats that fit each platform, write specific prompts that avoid the glossy default look, mix AI with your own photos, and add text in a design tool rather than inside the image. You also learn when to label AI images, what platform rules generally expect, and how to keep a consistent look across a month of posts without spending hours.

The generic look checklist made me laugh because every one of my images had all of it. Good short lessons.

Fine basics. I hoped for more templates to copy rather than principles.
- Dmitri K.Sample
Helpful on formats and the safe zones at the edges. The labelling section was a bit general, but fair enough since rules vary.

It told me to photograph my real cakes and use AI for backgrounds. Obvious in hindsight. My posts look like my shop again.

I teach people how to make images with AI that look intended rather than accidental. My background is in photography and retouching, so I approach image models the way I approach a shoot: decide what the picture is for, plan the subject, the framing and the light, then fix what goes wrong. I like short exercises where you write a...
