Do I need design experience?

From the Live Workshop

In Coral’s Own Words

“We are going to play in Ideogram to create the images for our covers, and prompt Ideogram, and use chat to prompt it. We are literally going to do the whole process on screen today with you.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching

“I’m going to take you to Amazon, we’re going to look at cover design, and then we are going to make covers together — an ebook cover and a full wrap cover — so you can see the user interface.”

— Coral Hart, live teaching
