Landscape imagery has a way that evokes certain tranquil emotions in the viewer. Therefore it is not a surprise that our most favourite calendars tend to have landscape images plastered across its spreads. With each month, a new scenery; one that enlivens our space & transports us to a more serene place.
In fact, calendars can be such a sweet & lovely present to your loved ones and yourself. A gift that will remind daily of your bond & bring a smile on their face each time they review their day.
Oh! And how fun would it be if we were the ones who not only curated but created the landscape art for our calendar with the help of AI?!
A ton of fun, we think! Especially when AI does all the hard work & we reap all the benefits ;)
Thus, we decided to ask some of our members from our Discord community to help us craft a series of neat recipes to help you create some epic landscape AI art creations for your next calendar.
