By selecting the DALL\u00b7E 3 model and simply describing the image you want, you can generate customized visuals in seconds. Whether you\u2019re exploring complex ideas or enhancing your slides, give AI a try\u2014you might be surprised at how it brings your concepts to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DALL\u00b7E enables you to create visuals by describing them, such as: <em>\u201ca futuristic green city with solar panels, wind turbines, and urban gardens.\u201d<\/em> Crafting effective prompts can take some practice, but you don\u2019t have to do it alone. The Aalto AI Assistant, powered by a GPT model, can help you refine your prompts to achieve better results. For instance, you can ask: <em>\u201cHow should I describe an image of a green city to DALL\u00b7E?\u201d<\/em> The Assistant will suggest detailed descriptions or improvements to ensure your visuals match your needs. Simply paste the refined prompt into the DALL\u00b7E model to generate your image. This conversational feature allows you to iterate and refine your ideas, whether you are creating images or working with text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adobe Firefly (<a href=\"http:\/\/firely.adobe.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"firely.adobe.com\">firefly.adobe.com<\/a>), another generative AI tool available with your Aalto account (Aalto email login), offers a user-friendly interface for creating images. In addition to text-based input, Firefly allows you to customize styles, aspect ratios, and other design elements. Firefly seems particularly strong in creating polished illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tools&nbsp;can also encourage classroom innovation. Students can be involved in generating visuals, sparking discussions, and exploring abstract concepts through creative projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further support, don\u2019t hesitate to contact Aalto University Teacher Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"651\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.aalto.fi\/opit\/files\/2025\/01\/Firefly-A-vibrant-and-detailed-illustration-of-a-futuristic-green-city-featuring-solar-panels-on-ro-1140x651.jpg\" alt=\"A vibrant and detailed illustration of a futuristic green city, featuring solar panels on rooftops, wind turbines on the horizon, skyscrapers with vertical gardens, and a lively street filled with pedestrians and cyclists.
