What are AI Posters?


AI posters, or artificial intelligence generated posters, are digital creations made using AI to generate visual designs, color palettes and layout options. By combining human creativity with AI capabilities these posters can have intricate designs that would have taken hours to do manually. AI uses deep learning models to analyze vast amounts of visual data, mimicking human artistic styles from photography, graphics and classic art.



What is an AI Art Generator?


An AI art generator is an online tool that uses artificial intelligence to create posters. These tools like Leonardo AI and Midjourney use machine learning algorithms to analyze keywords, topics, text or images to generate designs. They can create posters for events, business ads and marketing materials.


Picking The Right AI Poster Generator


When it comes to creating AI artificial intelligence posters, selecting the right AI art generator is crucial. Here's why I recommend Leonardo AI:

1. User Friendly:

Leonardo AI’s interface is designed to be easy to use even for non designers. It has Image Guidance, Elements and accurate text generation to make the AI movie poster creation process much easier.


2. Built in Image Upscaler:

Most AI art generators produce images at decent but low resolutions. Leonardo AI’s built in upscaler makes sure your AI generated images are print ready.


AI Movie Posters


Ever wanted to create your own movie posters for your favorite movies? AI can make that happen. Here’s a step by step guide to creating your own AI movie poster with Leonardo AI:


Step 1: Define Your Theme and Style

Choosing the right theme and style is key. For example if you want a 60’s movie poster look you’ll want to specify that in your prompt. A sample prompt might be:


"Masterpiece, best quality, vintage movie poster, 60's action film featuring classic X-Men Wolverine, action-packed, Robert McGinnis James Bond movie posters, Diamonds Are Forever, grainy vintage aesthetic, perfect features, highly detailed, cinematic composition."

Elements: Digital Painting 40%, Colorpop 20%


Step 2: Use Advanced Features

Leonardo AI’s advanced features like Image Guidance and Character Reference are super helpful for creating accurate characters in your posters. These features will ensure your AI artwork looks like the subjects you’re referencing, making your poster more authentic. For a detailed guide check out, Master Consistent AI Character Creation.


Step 3: Upscale Your Poster

Once you’re happy with your AI generated image it’s time to print. Leonardo AI’s Universal Upscaler will improve your poster’s resolution. Most AI art generators produce images around 1344 x 1792 pixels which can look pixelated when printed. Running your image through the upscaler will increase the resolution to 2688 x 3584 pixels. This costs 80 credits but it’s worth it for a professional looking poster.

Adding Text and Graphics


One of the challenges with AI generated art is text. Some AI tools struggle with text, you can use software like Adobe Illustrator or Canva to add text to your images. Or AI art generators like Ideogram specialize in text. Leonardo AI also has the Leonardo Phoenix model which can generate text.

Graphic Design Styles and Themes


One of the fun things about digital art is experimenting with different styles and themes. AI poster generators let you try out various themes from vintage to modern, minimalist to abstract. This gives you the flexibility to tailor your posters to any event or brand and make your visuals more cohesive.


Here’s another AI movie poster prompt style to try out:


"Midshot, cel-shading style, centered image, ultra detailed illustration of Batman posing, (tetradic colors), inkpunk, ink lines, strong outlines, bold traces, unframed, high contrast, (cel-shaded:1.1), vector, 32k resolution, best quality, flat colors, flat lights"
