Take a stroll through your local home décor store or browse through Etsy and you’ll find thousands of examples of word art. “Live Laugh Love” is more than a cute sign. It’s an entire genre of art that is earning millions of dollars every year for creators like you.
You can certainly stick to the tried and true and make simple signs using words, but if you’re someone who wants to mix it up and push boundaries, you may want to try creating word art using AI tools. If that sounds good to you, here are 6 ideas for AI-created word art that you may want to explore and create.
#1: Create a Unique Word Cloud Based on a Public Domain Book
There are some books in the public domain that use unique words that could be reimagined as a piece of art. Let’s use Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass as examples. Both books are in the public domain, and here are some words that you could use.
- Character names, including Alice, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Queen of Hearts, Tweedle Dum, or White Rabbit.
- Words that appear multiple times in the books, including things like tea party, chess, playing cards, roses, Wonderland, and tarts.
- Words that Lewis Carroll created, such as frabjous, Jabberwock, frumious, snark, chortle, and galumph.
- Other words, including characters in some of Carroll’s poems that appear in his books, such as Father William, the Walrus and the Carpenter, or the Lion and the Unicorn.
If you gave AI these words, it could create a unique word cloud that you could then augment with reimagined images of some of the characters to make a truly special piece of art that could be framed or put on a t-shirt or mug.
#2: Put a Creative Twist on a Famous Quote
Famous quotes are famous for a reason – right? Here are a few examples to inspire you.
- The greatest glory in living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall. ~ Nelson Mandela
- The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
- The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart. ~ Helen Keller
- Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. ~ Frederick Douglass
All you need to do to jump on this idea is to pick a quote you love and use AI to make it look beautiful, silly, or inspiring. Add some clip art or AI-generated images around it and you’ll be ready to sell your new piece of art.
#3: Write Your Own Inspirational Affirmations with Chat GPT
While public domain content is a terrific starting place for word art, there’s no reason you can’t use Chat GPT or the AI tool of your choice to come up with new affirmations or quotes to include in your word art.
For example, we gave Chat GPT this prompt: Brainstorm ideas for inspirational quotes. Here are a few of our favorites that we got in response.
- The strength to rise comes from falling, not from standing still.
- Your mind is a garden; grow the thoughts that nourish your soul.
- The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you tell yourself.
- Your future is built on the foundation of what you do today.
You could take any one of the ideas we’ve mentioned here and then, ask AI to create a piece of wall art, a greeting card, or a card in an affirmation deck based on it.
#4: Create Artwork Based on Hobbies
There are a ton of people out there who like to buy artwork based on their favorite hobbies. You can capitalize on their interest by using AI to create unique products, including t-shirts, mugs, stickers, phone cases, jewelry, and even bed sheets. Here are two examples to consider.
- Gardening enthusiasts might enjoy products with quotes about gardening, word clouds with names of plants, or gardening gloves with words related to gardening, including things like pruning, growing, planting, reaping, and so on.
- People who play soccer could be in the market to buy artwork with quotes from favorite soccer players and coaches, word clouds with common soccer terms, or a mug with a quip about soccer, such as “I play soccer, therefore I am.”
Other ideas that you could use AI to transform into art include hobbies such as fishing, knitting, traveling, painting, and cooking.
#5: Create Fun Images Out of Words
Instead of a word cloud, why not use words as an artistic medium? For example, you could ask AI to generate an image of an apple that has the word ‘apple’ inside it. Or you could make an apple-shaped word cloud that includes different varietals of apples, such as Gala, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Golden Delicious, or Pink Lady.
Another idea on the same lines would be to ask AI to make line drawings that use typeset words as the lines. For example, an image of the Eiffel Tower that’s made up of the word Paris.
#6: Create SVGs of Word Art
This last idea isn’t about the art itself but rather how you use (and sell) it. Any word art image you create can be saved as an SVG image. Since an SVG is a vector, you or your customers can resize it and it will look just as good printed on a refrigerator magnet as it will on a shower curtain.
Selling SVGs is easy, and people will buy them to use in art journals, bullet journals, and on greeting cards and party invitations.
Conclusion
Word art is super easy to create and can be sold as a digital or physical product. Using AI to create word art speeds up the entire process and means you can get products listed in your shop in no time at all.
