AI Letter Creation Tutorial: Cool Letter Effects

Idea Analysis

——

Hello everyone, this time I will bring you the creative English font effect “E” created by Midjourney (hereinafter referred to as MJ), which is generated based on keywords. The effect is cool, mechanical, and stylish.

1.Open Midjourney

（1）Because MJ often generates garbled text for Chinese fonts, I tried to generate English fonts, which is also quite random and requires multiple attempts to achieve the desired font effect.This is our interface when we just opened it:

（2）Enter “/settings” in the red box:

（3）Select “/settings” and press Enter, and set it as follows:

（4）After setting, press “/” again, a “prompt” will pop up, click it and fill in the keywords:

2.Fill in the Keywords

（1）How to accurately fill in the keywords? Filling in keywords is very important, as it relates to the final effect we generate. First, we should look for similar images on various websites or platforms to reference what kind of effect we want. For our “E” example, we want the letter to be composed of machinery, have a transparent glass surface, be neon-colored, and have a steampunk style; the image quality should be realistic, and we can add: product photography, industrial design, product design; plus some material detail expressions: surrealism, epic details; rendering styles: 3D renderings, OC renderings, and some shadows, etc.

（2）After translating the above webpage into English (the letter I initially used wasX), copy the English keywords to the Prompt, then press space, add the suffix parameters, –q 5 is to make MJ generate better quality, –3:4 is the aspect ratio setting, which can also be vertical size settings, for example, –9:16 and other settings, then press Enter:

（3）The first generation looks like this. Although the letter is written asX, MJ will also randomly generate other letters, so I pressed the refresh button again and generated a few more times:

（4）Try changingX to R:

（5）Change it to S and try:

（6）Change it to E and try:

（7）I think the third image on the right looks good, zoom in on the thirdE:

（8）Open in the browser, right-click the image and save it to your computer:

This is the final effect:

This time I simply shared the tutorial on generating English letters with MJ. You can replace the keywords used in the process with other letters or materials to try, be bold, and I believe it will bring you even more amazing effects. Thank you for reading.

Recently, many AI (artificial intelligence) works have appeared in the “Daily Character” submissions of the Font Help, and these AI works that made it to the rankings or the top have received a lot of attention and discussion. One viewpoint is as follows:

“AI letter creation is simply relying on AI to produce effects, generated at the click of a button. Praising such works is a violation of font design and is an unfair existence.”

In fact, I have received many similar viewpoints recently, and I have two points to explain:

1. AI letter creation requires some effort to produce outstanding effects; it is difficult to generate with just one click. Works generated in one click are basically unusable. The Font Help backend has many submissions using AI works; what you see are many that made it to the rankings, even the top, but there are also many that are not good and cannot make it to the rankings.

2. AI letter creation does not conflict with pure font design. If the structure and strokes of the font itself are not well done, even if you dress the font in the most gorgeous and eye-catching clothes, it will still be unappealing and unconvincing. Both the font shape and effect must be okay to be truly okay! If the effect is very cool and beautiful, but the underlying font shape is not good, it also cannot make it to the rankings.

Mastering AI technology does not mean mastering everything. After your font shape passes, you can dress it in beautiful clothes and appropriately decorate the effect to make it truly beautiful and durable!

Just look at these video screenshots, and you will understand a lot:

Then look at this edited video clip (the video is fast-forwarded):

To be honest, achieving outstanding AI letter effects requires some technical content; one-click generation is not realistic! Therefore, do not think that using AI to create effects is laziness or cheating; this is a high-quality, high-efficiency design method!

Because such details, if we use PS to do, would take at least a few hours, or even a day, and still might not reach such a level of detail. The technological revolution brought by AI is undeniable.

Most of these AI font works use the SD (Stable Diffusion) AI drawing tool. Our Font Jianghu team has recently completed recording SD course videos, and there are currently 15 lessons.

From technical principles to parameter settings, to various different creative themes and styles, and to the AI letter effects mentioned above. In short, this is a relatively comprehensive course that can help you quickly get started with SD and master the skills of AI letter creation.

Take a look at the banner of the Font Jianghu website:

Then, look at the course details and some screenshots:

Then, there is also a video clip that roughly introduces the content (the video is fast-forwarded):

In the video course, I also conveniently show part of the image content involved, so that everyone can have a clearer understanding of the course.

For example, generating posters from logos:

For example, drawing anime characters:

For example, generating illustrations from line art:

For example, black letter drafts, generating multiple shapes and scenes:

This set of SD AI video courses is primarily taught and recorded by Teacher Liu Jinying, while the AI letter creation course content is taught and recorded by Teacher X.

As of now, Font Jianghu (zitisheji.com) has reached 1088 video lessons, and the lifetime membership is still 618 yuan. Calculating, the cost per lesson is only 0.57!

Moreover, this is a lifetime membership!

Additionally, we will provide feedback on every assignment submitted by members!

Moreover, we also offer 5000 font materials!

Additionally, we provide a six-piece designer gift package!

Furthermore, our website is not just about font videos; you can also learn rich courses such asLOGO design, illustration, C4D, motion effects, typography, AI drawing (midjourney)!

Moreover, courses on Blender, IP design, packaging design, etc., are also in preparation!

We will continuously increase videos and materials without an endpoint, with only one goal:

To make the 618 yuan membership more valuable!

To let everyone learn a lot and enjoy learning!!!
