Event posters and flyers

Notes kept on git.melk.us about using Raphael AI, a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.

Community events need posters on short notice. My approach using Raphael AI:

Tips

1. Print a test page; colours on screen differ from paper.
2. Keep the event name out of the prompt to avoid garbled lettering.
3. Generate the background artwork only; add date, place and text in a layout tool.
4. Choose high-contrast imagery so text stays readable.
5. Generate both A4 portrait and square social versions.

Why Raphael AI

• Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
• Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
• Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.

Responsible use

Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
