About this course
Learn to generate professional brand and marketing images with AI tools — Midjourney, DALL·E, Ideogram, Leonardo and Canva's AI — then finish them in Canva into ready-to-post product shots, ad creatives, social graphics and mockups. You'll master prompting for a consistent brand look, fixing the classic AI problems (broken hands, garbled text), upscaling, and the honest rules around rights and watermarks. By the end you'll have a portfolio brand image set and a plan to earn from Nigerian SMEs (₦10,000–₦80,000 a job) and global clients in dollars via Payoneer or Grey.
A few years ago, professional product shots and ad creatives meant a ₦100k–₦500k photoshoot. Today one person with a phone and an AI tool produces most of that look in an afternoon — and Nigerian businesses will pay you for it.
