Generating Ads with AI

Some of the biggest names in AI can now generate images with excellent text including adding your logo. While NewLIST cannot offer in-app image generation at this time, we can show you how to generate some great-looking ad images within minutes using your own AI account.

AI Ad Images

If you're not a grapic designer, which most of us are not, but you need fast, easy, and accurate ad images generated that reflect a professional design, professional enough to be shown on NewLIST, AI can generate very good if not excellent ad images to get your NewLIST ads up and running.

While we recomment hiring a talented ad designer, if you're on a budget and don't have the skill or the time, AI can deliver very good ad images in exactly the right size and with the necessary details you need to get up and running.

NOTE: AI at this point in time is not perfect and still experimental. You mignt have to experiment with numers prompts to get exactly the kind of images you're looking for. But the technology is advaning rapidly.

The Magic is in the Prompt

The way to get AI to deliver really good images for your small business brand is to know what and how to ask. The way to achieve this is simply to ask AI to generate the prompt for you. We know, this sounds a lot like cheating on a test, but it's true—use AI to write the promt you need to generate the very best image possible.

Writing a Great Prompt

Let's say you run a small boutique web hosting service that caters to authors and writers. Keep your initial prompt short and sweet and allow AI to do the heavy lifting with the details. Here is a good initial prompt example. Just substitute your own kind of business and business name.

Please generate a detailed promp that will allow me to generate a photo-realistic ad image for a web hosting company. 
- The company specialize in author web sites
- The image size must be 1140 W x 620 H
- The company name is "3AO"
- The company domain is "3ao.com"
- Include the top 6 features of a great hosting company

You get the idea. Include everything that you feel is important you your business and brand.

Here is what the AI generated for our ad image.

**Prompt:**

Create a **photorealistic advertisement image** with the dimensions **1140 pixels wide by 620 pixels high** for a **web hosting company named "3AO" (website: 3ao.com)** that **specializes in websites for authors, writers, and novelists**.
### Scene & Composition:
*   Set the scene in a **modern, well-lit workspace** or **home office** that reflects a **creative author’s environment**—with bookshelves, a laptop or desktop screen displaying a website editor or hosting dashboard, coffee mug, notebooks, and scattered manuscript pages.
*   The central focus should be on a **happy, confident author** (any gender) who is visibly **pleased with their website**—smiling while working on their laptop or browsing their author website.
*   The surrounding atmosphere should feel **professional but personal**, evoking **trust, creativity, and digital ease**.

### Branding Elements:
*   Prominently include the **company name “3AO”** and the **domain “3ao.com”** in the image design—perhaps as part of a clean UI interface or as a banner overlay in one corner.
*   Use modern, clean, trustworthy fonts and aesthetic.

### Tagline:
Include a positive, benefit-driven tagline such as:
**“Built for Authors. Backed by Power.”**

### Key Hosting Features (incorporated visually or as a clean bullet list overlay):
1.  **Blazing Fast Page Loads**
2.  **99.99% Uptime Guarantee**
3.  **Expert Author Support Team**
4.  **Free SSL & Nightly Backups**
5.  **One-Click WordPress Installs**
6.  **Scalable Plans for Growing Audiences**

### Style:
*   Keep the style **photo-realistic and modern**.
*   Emphasize **clarity, trust, and ease-of-use**—avoid clutter.
*   Ensure all branding elements are legible and well-integrated into the design without overpowering the central image.

The AI actually generated the response in HTML, but we've converted the prompt into Markdown for easier reading. The AI can understand either HTML or Markdown prompts.

As you can see the new prompt is much more detailed in instructing the AI about what it should generate. Here is the image we get back from the new detailed prompt. Click on the image to view at full size.
