People are saying graphic designers were going to be replaced by AI in a few years. Back then, I was kinda freakin out until I tried working with it. Once you get AI like Midjourney and Photoshop AI and start using them with client work, you begin to realise that AI replaces tasks, not designers.
My experience using AI
You can take it bit by bit to use AI in your design process. I’ve done one project where a client needed a product photo video. The client didn’t have the money to hire a photographer who would come film with his crew or for one person who could do 4 K editing. What I used to meet my client’s needs was AI to Create That same product photo video. Instead of replacing me. here this is why people talk about AI and the role of a designer, but in most of the cases, those kinds of people haven’t realize Ai it’s creating more opportunities for designers than closing it. I can work with AI.
What role Does AI play for graphic designers?
- 1. Deleting backgrounds from images
- 2. Design Images From ideas
- 3. Design a change for platform
- 4. Design a mock up for products
- 5. Creating very simple social posts designs for them
- 6. Brainstorming logo ideas
They are all the design tasks. AI makes us save a good amount of time in doing These tedious tasks , so We can focus on developing strategies. Designers have the capability to utilize the power of AI to optimize our process and concentrate on strategic approaches that are AI can not duplicate.
The Greatest Mistake AI designers are making?
For me, the biggest mistake a designer makes with AI is when the designer is not even thinking about what’s going to make the client happy! AI creates amazing designs with amazing Speed of doing, but it doesn’t know about the client’s niche. Their brand persona. These knowledge’s are only gathered after an A to Z conversation with A client and some research. Without this kind of planning, the designs,even beautiful, would probably will fail to impress and achieve our client’s objective. This usually creates delays during the correction phase and increases the overall production timeline than when a proper strategy was formulated.
Are Graphic Designers going to be replace with Ai?
Honestly, I doubt it. AI replaces tasks it does not replace designers. This AI system can perform the background removal, Mockup, and Idea generation procedures rapidly. An AI system can never imitate the process of comprehending the client’s needs, developing and initiating a solid branding Strategy,and constructing impactful brand identity and message which can connect with our clients’ audience. It is a task that will remain in our hands, since our client are counting on that..
Tip of warning designers wanting to adapt to the AI era.
- 1. Use Ai to serve you, not dictate your work.
- 2. Before you start generating ideas with AI, clearly establish the client’s needs.
- 3. Treat AI-generated results as raw materials, not the final product.
- 4. Use AI to fulfill projects for clients with limited budgets.
- 5. Stay current with AI tool features and updates.
