Promptcraft
A practical guide to art direction for generative imagery
The tutorial takes you on a visual exploration of how structured promptcraft and art direction principles can transform generative imagery from unpredictable experimentation into intentional and scalable creative systems. Through real examples, evolving workflows, and model comparisons, this talk explores how composition, lighting, color, mood, and prompt structure can dramatically elevate the quality and consistency of AI-generated visuals.
We’d like to note that while some of the models featured in the video have since been updated, the principles behind the work remain relevant. Its approach to prompt structure, art direction, and intentional creative decision-making continues to offer a useful foundation as generative AI tools evolve.
Special shout out to Alberto for producing the tutorial. As a Principal Product Designer, he leads the PowerPoint design team in reimagining how people shape ideas into compelling presentations. His work brings Copilot into the creative process in ways that make it more intelligent and expressive, while keeping people in control.
