text2brief with ChatGPT
Hello, I'm trying to generate a design strategy for an international company working for unreasonably happy outcomes in climate change. Please act as a creative writing strategist. I need help writing prompts to generate imagery. For example, if I give you the word "factory", you can write a prompt like this: factory => industrial factory, large workforce, assembly line, safety glasses, conveyor belt, fork lift, fusion reactor future => monorail, dense city, high rise, elderly person, cyborg Each example should be something that is visible.
Please generate 10 examples as a table, using this list:
- solar
- public transportation
- zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and manufacturing
- high-speed rail
- access to clean water
- energy-efficient, distributed smart power grids
- clean, affordable, and accessible public transit
---
1. solar
- solar panel farm, blue sky, field of sunflowers, children playing, wind turbines
2. public transportation
- busy subway station, electric buses, bike-sharing dock, multilingual signs, diverse passengers
3. zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and manufacturing
- electric charging station, assembly line of electric cars, robotic arms, solar-powered factory, green energy plant
4. high-speed rail
- high-speed train, scenic countryside, happy travelers, modern station, wind turbines
5. access to clean water
- crystal clear river, water purification plant, children filling jugs, irrigation system, woman washing clothes
6. energy-efficient, distributed smart power grids
- solar-powered neighborhood, smart meters, energy storage system, electric car charging, wind turbines
7. clean, affordable, and accessible public transit
- bike-sharing dock, electric buses, crowded train station, modern tram, happy passengers
8. Renewable energy
- Solar panels on rooftops, wind turbine farm, water-powered turbine, happy family, energy storage systems
9. Recycling
- Recycling truck, recycling plant, children sorting trash, compost heap, happy family with reusable bags
10. Green Building
- Modern green skyscraper, solar panels on rooftops, green roof, energy efficient lighting, happy workers.

Number 1: Solar
Objective: To showcase the benefits of solar energy and its potential to power a sustainable future.
Target Audience: General public, policy makers, and potential investors.
Key Message: Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of power that can provide for the energy needs of communities and help combat climate change.
Visuals: A solar panel farm with rows of gleaming panels set against a bright blue sky. The farm is surrounded by a field of sunflowers, with children playing in the foreground. In the background, wind turbines can be seen spinning in the breeze.
Tone: Optimistic and aspirational, highlighting the potential of solar energy to power a sustainable future.
Call to Action: Encourage viewers to learn more about solar energy and consider investing in or supporting the development of solar power projects in their community.

Which artist best represents this aesthetic?
---
An artist that may represent this aesthetic of showcasing the benefits of solar energy and its potential to power a sustainable future, with an optimistic and aspirational tone, might be Edward Burtynsky. He's known for his large-scale photographs of industrial landscapes, including images of solar panel farms and wind turbines. His work often highlights the relationship between humanity and the natural world, and the impact of human activity on the environment. His photographs convey a sense of awe and wonder at the scale of these structures, while also raising questions about their impact on the planet. He is a Canadian photographer that is famous for his large format photographs of industrial landscapes.
---
Please describe ten visual elements of his style.
1. Large scale: Edward Burtynsky's photographs are often taken from a high vantage point and are composed to show the grand scale of the industrial landscapes he captures.
2. Industrial subjects: Burtynsky's work often features industrial subjects such as mines, quarries, factories and energy plants.
3. Attention to detail: Burtynsky's photographs are often highly detailed, with a focus on the textures and patterns of the industrial subjects.
4. Use of color: Burtynsky's photographs often have a muted color palette, with a focus on earth tones and natural colors.
5. Composition: Burtynsky's photographs are often composed with a strong sense of symmetry and balance.
6. Use of repetition: Burtynsky often repeats elements in his compositions such as rows of solar panels or wind turbines.
7. Use of negative space: Burtynsky's photographs often feature a lot of negative space to emphasize the scale of the industrial subjects.
8. Use of natural lighting: Burtynsky's photographs are often taken in natural light, which adds a sense of realism and drama to his images.
9. Minimalistic approach: Burtynsky's photographs are often minimalistic in their compositions, with a focus on the subject and the surrounding landscape.
10. Documentary approach: Burtynsky's photographs are often taken in a documentary style, capturing the industrial landscapes as they exist in real life.
