Artificial
Intelligence and Designing |
|
AI
magic is here to save the world, making us giddy with excitement and
terrifying us at the same time. However, AI is still mostly unknown, and
figuring out exactly how it will work in the design world is pretty much like
trying to figure out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. |
|
AI (artificial intelligence) has become an over-hyped
buzzword across many industries and the design world is no exception. |
|
There
are ongoing conversations
between designers and developers around the future impact
of AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning… VR, AR, and
MR (virtual, augmented, and mixed realities), and how our jobs may be
changing. |
|
With
AI, new relationships will need to be established between customer and
product. These interactions will be just the beginning of the ongoing
conversation between business and consumer about what artificial intelligence
can, and should be able to do for products and services. Designers will bring
the necessary empathetic context for innovation, which is how a business will
succeed with AI. |
|
|
|
Rising
Above the Hype |
|
AI
holds a lot of potential for the design world, but for this to happen the
hype around it needs to be deconstructed. |
|
It
would better if designers cleared their minds and didn’t think
about AI as “artificial intelligence”–as though AI was going to work as some
kind of magic-tech. A more useful way to think about AI—at least for the
short-term—is “augmented intelligence.” |
|
AI is
going to be mostly about optimization and speed. Designers working with AI
can create designs faster and more cheaply due to the increased speed and
efficiency it offers. |
|
The
power of AI will lie in the speed in which it can analyze vast amounts of
data and suggest design adjustments. |
|
An AI
algorithm has already usurped the traditional role of a designer to generate
millions of unique packaging designs for Nutella. |
|
The
AI algorithm pulled from a database of dozens of patterns and colors to
create seven million different versions of Nutella’s graphic identity, all of
them unique, which have been splashed across the front of jars in Italy.
All seven million jars were sold out in a month. |

AI and
Photo Editing |
|
AI has
transformed traditional photo editing and made it less time-consuming. It can
take your hands off repetitive and manually-intensive tasks. AI understands
what we want and helps us achieve it quite easily. |
|
You
will come across multiple AI-powered photo editing tools in the market. |
|
Each
device has its own set of unique features and reduces the workload of photo
editing. You can efficiently perform a lot of tasks with a single click. |
|
For
instance, you can add textures, detect faces, and colorize and sharpen your
photos. |
|
In the
future, AI-powered software will be developed to meet specific needs
according to the requirements of different forms of photography. |
|
Photo
background remover tools like Slazzer have already made life easier for
editors. But AI-based photoediting tools will become even better at removing
backgrounds. |
|
They
will be able to detect unwanted elements in a picture and correct the
mistakes more accurately. |
|
|
|
What
Does the Future of AI-Based Editing Look Like? |
|
With
time, AI will become more useful for editing |
|
It will
be able to take into account minor details and make them seems natural. |
|
|
|
Artificial
Intelligence the Future of Graphic Design. |
|
We are
aware of AI-powered tools and their implications, and these tools have
certain qualifications for transforming and transcending graphic design
trends that can be uniquely applied to the design services that we provide to
our clients.(From branding and logo design, infographic design, website
design, etc.). |
|
|
|
Our
core specialty, presentation design, is one of the most popular design
services, especially in the current pandemic era, and AI has found a way to
deliver incredible value. |

Content
Personalization |
|
|
“Adapting
AI content is a software that uses artificial intelligence to serve the
correct content at the right time for individual visitors, depending on what
they have consumed in the past.” |
|
|
The
success rate of this particular feature is understanding of Instagram. It is
built around consumer behavior and has developed a large learning curve for
the future of marketing and also the future design and user experience |
|
|
“Brands
are now understanding that not all users are equal and the content is not a
single size approach. To solve this problem, organizations must form their
content with the individual” |
|
|
Creative
content formation is one of the first steps taken in the future of graphic
design. The possibility of collecting data about a specific target audience,
companies can not only convert more than that type of audience, but also keep
existing and new customers. The dynamics of the content are infinite with the
help (non-acquisition) of AI. |
|
|
|
|
|
Development
of variations |
|
|
The
optimization of the content is the power; From optimizing social networking
publications, paid advertising, logo design, brand identity, websites
etc.. |
|
|
AI Uses
the database that is collected in behavior, patterns, keyword researches,
interests, the level of commitment and many more matrices to leave no room
for predictions, but to achieve design solutions on data that improves its
customers better and, therefore, can generate multiple variations. |
|
|
As an
agency specializing in creating high quality presentation designs, it is
always an advantage (not an alternative) to have a variety of “template”
slides. PowerPoint and other tools offer this service,
and PrezLab uses it. |

6.9 per
1,000 is the marriage rate in the United States in 2016. The most
important trend to watch in the wedding industry is that while the U.S.
population expands, fewer and fewer people are getting married as a
percentage of the population (from 9.8 per 1,000 in 1990 to 6.9 per 1,000 in
2016,Center for Disease Control). |

7.4 and
29.5 are the average ages of women and men for a first marriage in the U.S.
in 2017, the highest on record (Pew Research Center); in India, the number of women marrying at age
18 decreased from 47% to 27% in a decade (The
Economist); WeddingWire users average age is 33 years old for men and 31 years for
women |
