Prisma: Unleashing Creativity with Your Photos
When you think of transforming everyday photos into artistic masterpieces, Prisma should be at the top of your list. This app uses AI-powered filters to reimagine your images with unique, eye-catching styles inspired by famous art movements, contemporary trends or simply imaginative textures. Whether you’re a marketer, designer or someone looking to add a little flair to your visuals, Prisma is a powerful tool to explore creative possibilities.
What Prisma Does
Prisma takes your photos and applies AI-driven filters that mimic artistic styles or creative effects. From watercolour and cubism to bold modern abstracts, the options are vast. It’s like having a personal artist on your smartphone, ready to give your photos a creative edge.
Its intuitive interface makes it accessible to everyone, even if you have no design background. With just a few taps, you can turn an ordinary image into something extraordinary, saving time and money when you don’t have the budget for professional design work.
DIY Design for the Budget-Conscious
Design work can be pricey, especially when you’re looking for something bespoke and creative. That’s where Prisma shines, empowering you to take creative control of your visuals—whether for personal or professional projects.
Having worked with major brands, I’ve seen how impactful creative visuals can elevate a space or campaign. For instance, I once worked with a large real estate investment firm on an art program for their new head office. They invested tens of thousands of dollars to create a custom collection featuring colour splash artwork that incorporated their brand palette into striking black-and-white photography of their commercial assets. The result? A visually stunning and memorable showcase of their identity.
But what if you’re not a billion-dollar company? What if a professional designer isn’t in your budget? That’s where Prisma comes in.
Sticking with the art program example. Imagine you’re a small business owner looking to spruce up your office walls or develop an art program that reflects your brand. Prisma lets you add artistic flair to your photos, transforming them into visually striking pieces that align beautifully with your brand identity—without breaking the bank.
Mock-Ups: Real Estate Photos Made Creative
To illustrate what Prisma can do, I took a few real estate photos and gave them an artistic twist in just a few minutes. These quick mock-ups show how even the most straightforward imagery can become a conversation piece with the right treatment.
Endless Applications for Marketers and Communicators
For marketers and communicators, Prisma opens up endless possibilities:
Social Media Content: Stand out in crowded feeds with visuals that have an artistic edge.
Event Branding: Create bespoke graphics or backdrops that align with your theme.
Internal Communications: Add personality to your presentations or newsletters.
Product Showcases: Highlight features in a way that’s both creative and professional.
Campaigns and Ads: Build unique visuals that resonate with your audience without blowing your budget.
Prisma allows you to move beyond standard imagery and experiment with visuals that evoke emotion, reinforce brand identity and grab attention.
Verdict: Landing (New to the blog? My tomatometer is explained here.)
Prisma is like a float plane—a trusty de Havilland Beaver, to be exact. It gets you where you need to go, safely and on time, but the experience is entirely different. It’s more fun, more hands-on and lets you enjoy the creative journey. While a professional designer is the Boeing 777 of the design world—sleek, powerful and built for large-scale projects—Prisma offers a more accessible and playful approach to getting creative work done.
Whether you’re crafting visuals for your office, social media or an event, Prisma’s flexibility and charm make it a fantastic tool for those times you need creativity without the jet fuel cost. Give it a try and see where it takes you!
