Podcast and newsletter cover art

Notes kept on git.netbsd.club about using Raphael AI, a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.

Each episode or issue benefits from a distinctive cover. My workflow with the free Raphael AI image generator:

Tips

1. Leave the top third quieter for the episode number.
2. Review thumbnails at small size; that is how most people see them.
3. Extract one concrete image from the episode topic, not an abstract idea.
4. Keep a fixed frame or colour band so covers are recognisable in a feed.
5. Generate square 3000x3000-friendly compositions for podcast directories.

Why Raphael AI

• Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
• Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
• Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.

Responsible use

Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
