Introduction
This book teaches how to leverage ChatGPT for content design creation.
The subtitle of Part 1 is An Era Where Everyone Must Become a Designer
. In the past, creating designs or content required collaboration with others, but now we've entered an era where individuals can produce results working alongside AI. Thanks to this, tasks that once took considerable time can now be completed quickly and with high-quality results through AI services.
In other words, this is an era where everyone must become a designer, and the book shows how to do exactly that through 26 practical examples.
However, now is an era where anyone can create high-quality results with just a single line of text alongside generative AI. There's no longer a need to learn complex graphic tools or rely on professionals. All you need are ideas and simple prompts. This change is revolutionizing how existing designers work. People unfamiliar with design—like planners, marketers, and solo entrepreneurs—can now actively respond to changing trends and build competitiveness. An environment where anyone can become a creator has become reality.

Interesting Projects
While almost all projects were interesting, here are a few that made a particularly strong impression.
After seeing Project 04 - Travel Maps That Make Travel Memories Special, I created travel map images based on videos I uploaded to my YouTube channel. Kendrick's Vlogs
Looking at Projects 14-15 logo creation projects, I created a logo for my personal project. While the prompts were generated by ChatGPT, the actual image generation used ChatGPT (gpt-image-1) on the left and Google's Imagen4 Ultra on the right. The results are quite impressive. I tested Imagen4 Ultra for comparison, and it seems gpt-image-1 is better at following instructions.
Project 23's calligraphy is also fascinating. It can create calligraphy in Korean, and despite being Korean text, it was created remarkably well.
Project 25's thumbnail generation was also impressive. It shows how to create the thumbnail below. I plan to test it directly.
What's interesting is that this book uses only one AI service - ChatGPT - so you can apply all project examples to your needs with just a ChatGPT subscription. While most similar books spread broad but shallow knowledge across many services, this book shows the ultimate utilization of content design generation methods using solely ChatGPT.
Conclusion
The content design taught in this book is divided into 4 major categories, each with different subcategories. Therefore, reading this book will definitely help in any field - daily life, work, personal projects, etc.
I especially recommend it for planners, marketers, and solo entrepreneurs without design experience, and its practicality is high since you can practice all the examples introduced in the book with just a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
