Join me as I chat with Brett from Designjoy as he walks through his process for creating high-quality AI-generated designs and videos using a combination of tools. He demonstrates how non-designers can create professional-looking content by using ChatGPT to generate sophisticated prompts, Midjourney to create styled images, and Runway to add motion. Brett emphasizes that while these tools aren't perfect, they make design accessible to everyone and can produce consistent, cohesive branding assets quickly.
