Nairaland Banner Designed by me

Are you guilty of any of these?

Yes, Thank you very much

Jh0wsef:
You tried. They’re very clear too.

AI image tools are great for brainstorming and quick mood boards. However, generating an image and delivering a well-considered design are two completely different things.

In this post, I'll be showing you 5 scenarios where your use of AI/ChatGPT could badly affect your business or brand.

1) Don't use ChatGPT if your design must communicate accurate information clearly.

A visually appealing flyer is useless if your event dates, pricing, or registration details are hard to read. AI image tools are known to struggle with text rendering(writing texts) and typography hierarchy(arranging texts well).

A professional graphic designer ensures your message is accurate, legible, and organized so your audience can see clearly, understand your offer and actually convert.

2) Don't use ChatGPT if your business needs a consistent visual identity.

Your brand shouldn't look like five completely different companies across your social media, flyers, and website.

AI models generate standalone images and struggle to maintain identical color palettes, fonts, and brand guidelines across different assets.

A designer builds a cohesive visual system for ongoing brand recognition.

3) Don't use ChatGPT if your design must meet specific production requirements.

Designs that are meant for professional printing, large-scale billboards, or custom packaging require precise dimensions, vector formats, CMYK color spaces, and print bleeds.

An AI generates flat pixel images that could degrade or get pixelated when scaled and don't meet printer specifications, often leading to costly production errors.


4) Don't use ChatGPT if your design needs to achieve a specific business objective.

Designing isn't just making something look pretty; it's about solving a communication problem. Promoting a conference, selling a luxury product, or recruiting staff each requires a tailored layout strategy, visual hierarchy, and deliberate call-to-action. A human designer crafts visuals aligned with audience psychology and your business goals.

5) Finally, don't use ChatGPT if you really want to stand out.

The truth is that many people are already using AI to create designs, ChatGPT designs are littered everywhere on the Internet these days, so we're all getting used to "perfect pixel" designs so much that even if you decided to spend some time on Canva, you will create something that will immediately stand out from the crowd.

You don't have to be perfect, You just have to be human. Humanity seems to be disappearing these days because of machine/AI automations.

When you use AI for your designs, your clients know, your audience know, everybody knows that you got it through a prompt and almost anybody can type a prompt these days. But when you go the extra length, you get a designer to create a design or you design it yourself, your audience feel respected and valued. Many people are already used to AI designs to the point or extent that the moment they see a manually designed flyer, they immediately understand the time, effort and patience required to get it done and that could even help build trust. I

Bottom line: AI can generate images, but professional designers build effective visual communication that drives actual results.

Thank you for your time.

I'm open to your views and opinions about this matter.

Here are some samples of Ad Banners that I have designed. Kindly rate them, let me know what you think or you can even drop corrections

It's all about setting up structure.
You can make sure that the client makes a down payment of a particular percent of the money that he should pay for the project, like an "Advance payment"

Then the client completes it after the job is done.

Now, You can set this as a structure and let them know that working with you involves some certain terms and conditions.

He or She needs to agree to it before you even decide to talk about getting the job done.

You can make it a written agreement, where you categorically state the scope of the work, how much you charge, how payments will be made, how deliverables will be made available to the client and every other important thing involved.

Whether you decide to collect full payment or part payment, the most important thing is that both of you are aware of the terms and consent to it.

Anyone who has designed Nairaland Ads understands that it's not as easy as it looks. It requires some levels of skill and attention to detail.

Nairaland is strict when it comes to their Ad banner requirements. There's a specific image resolution and a maximum file size that you must take into consideration during and after the design process.

I'll spare you all the gist
