Tips for Prompting AI to Create Infographic Posters

Creating an infographic poster requires the right prompting techniques to ensure that the AI-generated image is relevant, matches your expectations, and contains as few errors as possible.

The prompting techniques also vary depending on whether you want AI to generate text, code, or visual content. This applies to AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Sora, and others.

If you want to learn how to create an infographic poster using AI, especially ChatGPT, there are several things you should keep in mind.

What to Consider Before Writing a Prompt for an Infographic Poster

1. Define Your Visual Goal

Defining your visual goal is an important step before asking AI to create an infographic poster. Why? Because your visual goal is part of the instructions you give to AI.

Here’s an example of a visual goal:

This poster was generated by AI and looks like based on the prompt above:

Basically, the prompt above includes both the instruction and the goal of having AI create an infographic poster for you. In addition to the information presented in the poster, other visual elements you can ask AI to include are:

• Poster size or format (e.g., 3:4, 1:1 or square, and many more).
• Visual style (e.g., minimalist, retro, casual, modern, professional, etc.).
• Poster background (e.g., a specific background color, a transparent background, or a realistic layered effect).
• Layout and visual emphasis (e.g., a large title, icons or emojis for each point, specific font colors, or illustrations and photos).
• Supporting visuals (e.g., icons, emojis, photos, and so on).

If you look closely at the infographic poster above, you’ll notice several visual elements that reinforce its content. These include a realistic matcha photo, icons that support each point about the benefits of matcha, and a relatively neutral, earthy-toned background.

2. Limit the Amount of Text in the Poster

AI tools such as ChatGPT can now create various types of infographic posters, but there are still limitations when it comes to how much text can be included. In other words, even if you ask ChatGPT to generate an infographic poster with long descriptions, there is still a practical limit.

If the text is too long, the generation process may take longer. More importantly, a poster filled with lengthy descriptions can look inconsistent, less visually appealing, and make some elements difficult to read. It can also lead to prompt leakage, where instructions intended only for the AI appear in the final output.

For example, imagine you create two different prompts like the following:

Looking at the result of the prompt above, overly long descriptions can cause prompt leakage, where parts of the prompt you entered appear directly in the poster itself (as shown in the red box in the image).

3. Avoid Overly Generic Prompts

ChatGPT can understand the instructions you provide, but it also has limitations when it comes to interpreting the intent behind your prompt. It’s similar to communicating with another person; you can’t expect them to know what you mean without enough context.

Overly generic prompts can make it difficult for ChatGPT to understand what you want to create, whether you’re asking for text or an image. So, it’s best to avoid prompts that are too broad or lack specific details.

• [Too general] Example of a generic prompt:

“Create an infographic poster about matcha.”

ChatGPT cannot tell exactly what you want the poster to focus on. Is it about the history of matcha? Different matcha varieties? Or perhaps its health benefits? Because this prompt is too broad, it may lead to an output that doesn’t match your expectations.

• [Better] Example of a specific prompt:

“Create an infographic poster about the effects of consuming too much matcha.”

Although this prompt is short, the intended topic is much clearer: the potential effects of excessive matcha consumption on human health.

4. Use Design References (Optional)

You can also ask AI to create a poster or infographic based on a design reference. One way to do this is to mention the name of a social media account, brand, or artist whose visual style you want to use in your prompt. You can also upload a reference image or photo using the “+” (Attach photos & files) button or simply copy and paste an image into the ChatGPT chat box.

For example:

Here’s the infographic poster created with a visual reference for inspiration.

By providing a reference as inspiration, ChatGPT or other AI tools can generate an infographic poster with a visual style that closely resembles the design you provided. While this approach can make the process easier, image generation may take longer because ChatGPT needs to analyze or identify the account or link mentioned in your prompt.

5. Check All the Text in Your Prompt

Keep in mind that ChatGPT generates an infographic based on the prompt you provide. If there are any spelling mistakes or typos in your prompt, the text that appears in the poster may also contain errors.

ChatGPT does not work like Canva or other graphic design tools where you can edit individual elements directly. This means that if the information in your poster contains an error or typo, you may need to regenerate the image by correcting the prompt.

Before sending your prompt to ChatGPT or other AI tools, make sure you review it carefully. Check for typos, make sure your visual instructions are clear, and confirm that the poster size matches your needs. You can also add an instruction such as, “Make sure there are no spelling or text errors,” to help minimize typos.

How to Create an AI-Generated Infographic Poster That Matches Your Brand Identity

Beyond creating infographic posters from specific prompts, AI tools such as ChatGPT can also help you refine and adapt existing infographic posters to match your brand identity.

Even if an infographic poster is already finished and looks close to perfect, you can still refine it to match the visual identity of your website, product, logo, social media account, and more. For example, you could create an infographic poster about “Why Matcha Is Going Viral in Indonesia” and give it a visual style that reflects Tonjoo’s brand identity.

Here’s how to create an infographic poster that matches your brand identity:

1. Add Files Containing Your Brand’s Visual Guidelines

The first step in creating a branded infographic poster is to upload files that contain information or visual elements related to your brand identity. These could include your brand logo, color palette, fonts or typography, illustration style, and other visual guidelines.

These files can be in image formats such as JPEG, PNG, or JPG, as well as PDFs or other documents. Use the “Add photos and files” button or the “+” icon in ChatGPT to upload them when creating your prompt.

Note: If you’re adding your brand logo, use a PNG file whenever possible. PNG files generally preserve the logo’s details and transparency, helping the logo look cleaner in the final infographic poster.

2. Include a Link to Your Brand Website (If Available)

In addition to uploading files containing information about your brand, you can also include your brand website URL in the prompt when creating an infographic poster with AI, particularly ChatGPT.

Adding your website link to the prompt can give ChatGPT additional context about the visual elements it can use as references when generating images, posters, and other visual content. These elements may include your website’s primary colors, theme, fonts, slogans, and more.

Your website can also serve as an alternative source of reference if you don’t have files containing your brand guidelines. This way, you still have a reference that AI can use when adapting or developing your infographic poster.

3. Mention Brand Elements That AI Can Easily Understand

Even if you’ve uploaded files containing your brand’s visual characteristics, you should still give the AI clear instructions by mentioning the key elements of your brand. This helps the AI better understand your requirements and create a more relevant infographic poster.

Being specific about these elements in your prompt can also help prevent misunderstandings or inconsistencies when the AI generates the poster.

For example, after uploading your logo or adding your brand website to the prompt, you can specify which elements should follow your brand identity, such as the title text color, background, graphics, and other visual details.

4. Use a Consistent Template

A template is a ready-to-use design framework that can be applied to different types of content, including the layout, text colors, fonts, and visual style.

When creating a prompt for an infographic poster, you should instruct the AI to follow a consistent template. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to use your brand colors for the text, set the poster to the same dimensions as an Instagram Story, include visual elements that reflect your brand identity, and so on.

Using a consistent template makes your brand more recognizable to your audience, gives your content a more polished look, and helps create a professional visual identity.

5. Give Specific Instructions

Just like when creating AI prompts as a beginner, you should also provide clear and specific instructions when writing a prompt for an infographic poster.

As mentioned earlier, if you want the final design to reflect the visual style, tone, and theme of your website or brand, you can upload files containing information about your brand, including your logo, website colors and theme, and other relevant visual elements.

As a guide, here’s an example of a prompt for creating an infographic poster that reflects your brand identity:

Now, it matches Tonjoo’s brand identity and visual tone.

Wow, an infographic poster that was created with a specific but concise prompt can actually be refined to match the visual identity of a brand website like Tonjoo! From the color palette and visual consistency to the overall look and feel.

Want to add your brand logo to an infographic poster? ChatGPT can also incorporate your logo into an existing poster. Just follow the first tip above and upload your brand logo as an image file.

Pretty cool, right? You can add your logo to an infographic poster you’ve already created or include it when generating a new one. Just make sure your prompt is specific and provide supporting files as visual references for the AI. You can also try the same approach using the tips, instructions, and prompt examples above.

Why Does AI Take So Long to Generate Images?

You may have experienced how long it can take for AI to generate an image, sometimes taking 15 minutes or even longer.

Several factors can affect how long AI takes to generate an image, including:

• The prompt is too long, detailed, or complex, making it harder for the AI to process all the instructions.
• The request contains too many specific details, requiring the AI to account for multiple elements when generating the image.
• The image requires more intensive processing, such as rendering complex graphics or generating highly detailed visuals.
• The server is busy, especially when many users are generating images at the same time.
• An unstable internet connection can also make the image generation process appear to take longer or prevent the result from loading properly.

How to Make AI Generate Images Faster

So, how can you speed up AI image generation when the process takes too long?

• Start a new chat if the image generation takes more than 15 minutes. Copy and paste your previous prompt, then simplify and refine it.
• Click “Try again” if an internet connection error causes the image generation to fail.
• Use the default image size. Simply request a JPG or PNG and avoid asking ChatGPT to generate 4K or ultra-wide images. These requests may take longer to process and can increase the chance of a failed generation.
• Don’t refresh the chat while ChatGPT is generating an image. Refreshing the page may interrupt the process and require the image to be rendered again from the beginning.
• If you’re using the free version of ChatGPT and reach the daily image-generation limit, wait until the limit resets or consider upgrading your plan. Creating a new account to bypass usage limits is not recommended.

Those are some practical tips for writing AI prompts for infographic posters that you can try with various AI tools, especially ChatGPT. Start by doing your research, write a specific prompt, review it carefully before submitting, and then wait for the result!
