- ChatGPT was used to help the author brainstorm a structure for the chapters on event planning. In sections where the author used AI to provide more specific examples or content, the sources are listed.
- ChatGPT was used to generate the Sunny Horizons, Inc. logo with the following prompt:“I need to create a logo for a fictitious company to use in a case study for a College class. The fictitious company name is Sunny Horizons, Inc., and it is based in London, Ontario. It will soon be expanding to Calgary, Alberta. The logo should be simple but colourful and easy to use as a stand-alone or incorporate in a letterhead.” It asked me about complexity and colour scheme, to which I responded, “6, please and warm and bright colours.” The image was then modified to add the Company Name.
