AI in Graphic Design Process - Finalisation and Delivery

Preparing for Hand-In

When it comes to wrapping up a design project, the final retouches and delivery phases are crucial. For this final project it meant preparing for final submission of all my finalised designs, its mockups, screen cast and all working files. 

While AI tools showed promise, they couldn't match the precision required for layout creation and I crafted the brand guidelines manually in a reader-friendly horizontal format. They detail how brand assets, such as colours, fonts, and logos, should be used in various applications. Separately, to offer a tangible representation of how the designs would manifest in real-world settings, I created detailed mockups, which when coupled with a screencast of my website, provided a comprehensive visual narrative of the project's outcome. 


A cornerstone of this project was its organization. From the outset, I was resolute about maintaining a structured approach. My final designs are neatly housed within descriptively labeled folders. Inside each, high-resolution images of the artwork sit alongside its corresponding mockup. For more extensive documents like magazines and brand guidelines, I've provided a complete PDF, as well as individual images of the pages for a better view.

Working files are all together in the other folder since the number compared to the exported outputs was significantly lower. Nonetheless, they are all named in the same style and all the various format can be opened with Adobe Software + Maya.

The full list of deliverables:

Final Outputs Details:

  • Brand Identity + Guidelines: Branding assets and guidelines for CosmoBites.
  • Editorial Design - CosmoChronicles: Assets and layouts for the CosmoChronicles editorial.
  • Environmental Design - 3D Store Showcase: 3D designs of a virtual store.
  • Product Advertisement - Nebula Bar Static: Static ads for the Nebula Bar.
  • Print Design - Dinner in Space Poster: 'Dinner in Space' event poster.
  • Product Packaging - Nebula Bars: Design assets for Nebula Bars packaging.
  • Social Media: Designs for Instagram, including profiles, stories, and posts.
  • Motion Sequence: An uncompleted animation for product advertisement.
  • Screencast with Voiceover: A narrated walkthrough of the designed website, also elucidating the submission archive's contents. Link can be found here

Working Files Details:

  • Primary Files: All raw and intermediary files used throughout the project's duration.
  • Secondary Files: Generated images, mockup files and other auxiliary resources.

AI in Graphic Design Process - Ideation

Brainstorming The initial phase of brainstorming led me to ChatGPT. By feeding the AI the entire organized brief, it managed to produce some intriguing concepts, such as rocket launch and the planet infusion idea. While these served as an excellent foundation, the AI's capacity to switch rapidly between varied concepts - a critical facet of brainstorming - was found wanting. Nevertheless, I found value in these AI-generated ideas, using them as foundational stones for further development.   Mindmapping For the mind mapping phase, I turned to an AI tool named MyMap (MyMap.ai, 2023), which promotes AI-driven conversations in a 2D map format with branching capabilities. But instead of fluidly branching from my inputs, it offered verbose, AI-generated points. This produced a cluttered mental landscape, prompting a return to the time-tested method of manual mind mapping. Additionally they offer complete mindmap generation based on input keyword but these results were more or le...

AI in Graphic Design Process - Presentation and Revision

 Human feedback When diving deep into the world of AI-driven design, I've been amazed at the capabilities of machines. But as I had dabbled with AI-generated presentations and even simulated client feedback in previous step of this graphic design process, they had their limitations and it became clear that genuine human feedback was irreplaceable, especially when refining design concepts. So, for this critical stage, I decided to go old school and I chose to gather direct feedback from real people that would into the imaginary company's target audience - millennials and Gen Z, aged between 18 and 35, of all genders - adventurous, open-minded, enjoy trying new experiences, and are health-conscious . My first step was to craft a questionnaire. With the help of ChatGPT, I generated few initial drafts. After some tweaks and combination, I had a 10-question survey in hand. It was a mix of open-ended queries, rating scales, and multiple-choice questions, all des...
