Generative AI

MAKING THINGS OUT OF THIN AIR IN RECORD TIME.

I've been playing with generative AI since 2022. I've watched it grow from creating weird stuff that might only work as an NFT (when that was a thing) to a legitimate tool in an art director's arsenal. Over that time I've begun incorporating it into my standard workflow so I can work more efficiently. Here are some things I've made for myself and clients.

Encyclawpedia Dictatia

Anaiis Rabiella and I created an online encyclopedia featuring over 20 different cats illustrated as (in)famous world dicators. Midjourney has various safeguards in place to prevent you from referencing certain dictators like Hitler and Xi Jinping, so I had to find a way to create the prompt to get around them or just lean into the blatent censorship.

Anaiis used ChatGPT to create baseline entries for each dictator and then rewrote each to feature cat references and puns.

For the site design I even asked Midjourney to imagine what our entry pages could look like. I then took elements of it's suggestions and built it out.

Something that would have taken months previously was fully completed in 3 weeks.

Tools: Midjourney, ChatGPT, Photoshop, Wordpress

Typography

I've been playing aroung with AI to create typography. Here are some my experiments. It's been interesting seeing how different features of the AI platforms can be used in ways they weren't necessarily intended to.

Tools: Firefly, Illustrator

A.I.D.C.

I wanted to see how well I could recreate real people within Midjourney so I decided to make a series called the AI Directors Club (playing off the Art Directors Club. I took a few well known industry folk and turned them in to cybernetic versions of themselves.

I ended up revisiting this as a promo piece, you can see all that here.

Tools: Midjourney + Photoshop

Some random experiments I did based on animals, puns or animal puns. Or maybe just a random thought that popped into my head.
