AIGC× Online Literature: Let the Story be Seen

The most attractive thing of reading a novel is the imagination that comes from the textual content. However, when it comes to designing a landing page for a novel's promotion, the difficulty lies in the lack of visual materials. Compared to strong visual content such as anime, movies, and short videos, novels are harder to promote and circulate.
The emergence of AI drawing technology allows written content, which was previously limited to being "read," to be seen. Writers can efficiently and inexpensively provide visual designs for characters, scenes, and plot settings in their novels. Even readers can create their own mental images while reading.

In practice, however, there are many questions that require a lot of practical experience to answer, such as how to establish an AI drawing-assisted design workflow, how to translate novel content into language that AI can understand, and how to ensure consistency between images and the novel's style.

This workshop will combine design practices from several works, such as those from Qidian Reading and Webnovel, to introduce how we visualize novels in our design work, establish a new design workflow with AI drawing, and share our tips and experiences with AI drawing to help designers quickly familiarize themselves with the tool and improve their efficiency and output quality.
