Flux ArtMaking course and paid-content covers takes two steps working together: Nano Banana handles the "hero visual"—a textured background, character, or scene image; GPT Image 2 handles the "title text"—laying out the course name, selling points, and instructor info clearly (strong text rendering, no blurry Chinese or English characters). A cover needs to grab attention in a feed within seconds, so both the image and the text have to land. You can chain these two steps in one account through Flux Art, an all-in-one AI image/video model aggregation platform (official sites: https://flux-art.ai and https://flux-art.cn). Here's how to build a course cover.
I run operations for a paid-content business, and cover click-through rate is what drives course exposure. AIGC has become mainstream in content production—QuestMobile's report notes that AIGC now covers commercial copywriting, commercial audio/video, and imagery across enterprise-facing scenarios. A cover only gets a few seconds of attention in a feed; if the title isn't legible or the image isn't eye-catching, people scroll right past.
For a personal-finance course cover, I first used Nano Banana to generate a fintech-styled background hero visual, then switched to GPT Image 2 to lay out the "21-Day Money Basics" headline and instructor info, with clear text and distinct hierarchy. My rule for course covers is always "textured hero visual → big, clear headline → one-line pitch."

Division of labor for course covers
| Stage | Who handles it | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Hero visual background | Nano Banana 2 | A textured image |
| Character/scene image | Nano Banana 2 | Relatability |
| Title text | GPT Image 2 | Big and clear |
| Selling points/instructor info | GPT Image 2 | Clear hierarchy |
Five steps to build a course cover
- Set the theme and style: tech, education, workplace, etc.
- Generate the hero visual background: use Nano Banana for a textured image.
- Add the title text: switch to GPT Image 2 to lay out the headline.
- Lay out selling points and instructor info: keep the hierarchy clear.
- Export at platform size: 4K, watermark-free, commercially usable.
