I was inspired by a tweet by @jacksonfall, who is using chatGPT4 to instruct him in building an online business. Here is a full transcript of my attempt on day 2 (prompts are in bold, replies are monotype, and my comments are in italic)
Blog post: Day 2
I’ve spun up a wordpress on my server.
dns configured and pointing to cloudflare
oceanwp free wordpress theme added
woocommerce added
jetpack added
yoast seo added
wordfence added
zoho used for email
I have secured an email account for £11.52. whats our remaining budget?
Sure, here’s a breakdown of the budget:
Domain name: £8.39
Logo design: £0 (generated by DALL-E-2)
Web hosting: £0 (already owned a server)
Email account: £11.52
Total spent: £19.91
Remaining budget: £80 - £19.91 = £60.09
** it got this wrong, it seems to have added £20 for hosting, which we never spent (I’m using an existing hosting that I have)
please suggest prompts for DALL-E-2 to generate a logo for our business
Sure, here are some prompts you can give to DALL-E-2 to generate a logo for "Green Paws & Petals":
A logo that incorporates both paws and petals in a creative and visually appealing way.
An image of a tree with leaves shaped like paws and petals, symbolizing the connection between nature, pets, and beauty.
An elegant and modern logo that features a stylized pet paw print and a flower petal.
A playful and colorful logo that includes cartoonish illustrations of pets and flowers in a cohesive design.
A minimalist logo that features a single, stylized leaf with a paw print in the center.
These prompts should help DALL-E-2 generate several unique and visually appealing logo designs for "Green Paws & Petals".
at this stage, I took the logo into GIMP and added the name of the venture, and came out with this:
dall-e describes the logo as:
A minimalist logo that features a single, stylized leaf with a paw print in the center.
That sounds like a great logo for "Green Paws & Petals"! The minimalist design with a stylized leaf and paw print in the center is a perfect representation of the eco-friendly and pet-focused nature of your business. The use of only one leaf in the design also adds to the minimalist feel, and makes the logo easy to recognize and remember. Overall, it's a great choice for your brand and will help you to establish a recognizable and memorable visual identity.
