About the course

Food is one of the hardest subjects for generated images: steam, texture and gloss must look real. At the same time, the dish in the ad must be the dish the restaurant serves.

We cover food realism, menu images, short ad clips and a monthly content plan for a restaurant, with one clear rule: the image must match the real dish.

Who it is for

  • Restaurant and cafe owners
  • Marketers and designers who work with restaurants
  • Food content creators

The problem it solves

Photographing every dish costs time and money, and random generated images produce food that looks unnatural or different from reality, which hurts customer trust.

By the end you will be able to

  • 1Produce food images with natural texture, steam and gloss
  • 2Build consistent menu images for every dish
  • 3Make short ad clips for social media
  • 4Plan a month of content for a restaurant
  • 5Keep the image faithful to the real dish

U3 Method concepts covered

The course has two layers: a durable method that stays with you whatever the tools do, and hands on execution on today's tools that we update as soon as a tool changes.
