Tired of cheesy stock photos that don’t represent your learners? In this hands-on webinar, I shared my prompting framework for generating cohesive AI images that actually fit your training content, your audience, and your brand. I walk through real examples, practice exercises, and practical workflows for creating consistent characters, matching brand colors, building icon sets, and upgrading old course visuals.
You’ll learn how to:
Apply a repeatable prompting framework that works across AI image toolsCreate diverse, representative character images for scenario-based learningKeep a consistent visual style across an entire courseGenerate icon sets and visual metaphors in a single promptNavigate copyright, ethics, and commercial use considerations
For the post header image below, I used Midjourney to create the four images in a consistent style and colors. While Nano Banana is better at consistent character images, Midjourney is still my favorite tool for interesting and cohesive illustration styles. This set uses sref 361625325, which means I just needed to add that code to the end of my prompts to get these results fast. You can explore more styles to use on Midjourney’s website.

I try not to post webinar recordings back-to-back on my blog, but March was a busy month for speaking for me with five webinars. At least this week’s recording is on a different topic from the branching scenario webinar I shared last week. I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled post schedule soon!
