Want to create merchandise designs that perfectly match your music brand's aesthetic every time?

Sound impossible? Not anymore with this ChatGPT Image prompt strategy.

Remember when I showed you Ideogram 2 weeks ago as a tool to create designs like t-shirts and posters?

I've been testing the ChatGPT Image Generator using the same prompts and discovered something better.

A way to create truly on-brand designs using your existing visual assets.

This is the essence of the Style Guide Method.

Instead of starting from scratch every time, we'll capture your brand's visual DNA first.

Then use it to guide all future designs.

By extracting the exact colors, fonts, and style elements from your existing artwork, we create a consistent look across all your designs.

And the best part? Once you set it up, you can create endless variations that all feel like they belong to your brand.

Here's how it works:

Step 1 - Create a style guide using ChatGPT to extract colors and fonts:

Find your best existing artwork (like Luna Raye's "Closer" single cover)

Use this prompt:

I want you to help me turn this single cover image of [YOUR ARTIST NAME] into a JSON file that I can use as a styleguide including colors and fonts to create designs and assets.  [UPLOAD OR DESCRIBE YOUR EXISTING COVER ART] 

Save the style guide as a JSON file to reuse.

Step 2 - Use the style guide to create new designs (like tour merchandise):

Here are the results:

Refine your results by tweaking specific elements

This approach saves hours of trial and error and gives you professional-looking results every time.

There you go :)

How To Protect Your Music From AI Theft

Ever worry that AI companies might be using your music without permission?

That struggle is real for musicians today.

Recently, I discovered (also through musician Benn Jordan) revolutionary technologies called Harmony Cloak and Poisonify that give musicians the power to fight back against unauthorized AI use of their work.

These tools let you add special noise to your music files that humans can't hear but completely confuses AI systems trying to analyze your tracks.

It's like an invisibility cloak for your music - people enjoy it normally, but AI models can't effectively learn from it.

Here's why you need it:

1 - Invisible Protection:
↳ The noise is inaudible to human listeners
↳ Your fans experience your music exactly as intended

2 - AI-Disrupting Power:
↳ Makes AI misidentify instruments (piano sounds like flute)
↳ Prevents melody and rhythm pattern learning

3 - Model-Breaking Capability:
↳ Can potentially damage entire AI models
↳ Causes training metrics to flatline

4 - Technical Shield:
↳ Works against platforms like Suno and MusicGen
↳ Creates "nightmare fuel" when AI tries to use your protected tracks

This technology represents a critical tool in the ongoing battle for musicians' rights in the AI era.

The technology still has some challenges - processing a full album requires significant computing power and electricity.

But efforts will hopefully be underway to make these tools more accessible e.g. through music distribution platforms.
