Watch Out A.I.: This Guy Turns Text Prompts Into Hand-Drawn Images On Paper - Design Post 16

-

    

    Graphic Designer Pablo Delcan has come up with an idea for a revolutionary new tool: the “very first non-A.I. generative art model” says Leslie Katz in of Forbes article titled Watch Out AI: This Guy Turns Text Prompts Into Hand-Drawn Images On Paper.

    Originally born in Spain, Delcan now resides in New York. He designs books, book covers, and contributes to visual designs in The New York Times.

    Delcan posted an Instagram post that said: “Send me a message with a prompt, and I will generate a drawing with black on paper and send it to you.

    Delcan has been a busy man. So far, he has produced over 250 text prompt drawings including absurd, poetic, personal, and personal prompts, etc.

    He states that this is the most fulfilled he has ever felt in his line of work as a graphic designer. He is merely doing this whole thing because provides a connection with humans and his little hand-drawn creations.

    This new project is called Prompt-Brush, viewers can browse a catalog of drawings, and scan prompts waiting all on a website that was created specifically for this new project. You can also find a tutorial that explains how to create old-timey ink drawings like the ones that Delcan creates. The website can be visited at delcan.co/promptbrush. This whole escapade started as a joke, and it is now making headway.

    When Delcan is finished drawing, he takes a picture on his phone and increases the contrast of them on his computer to give them a clean look.

    This topic can be controversial in the graphic design and art world. Some designers and artists are really for the A.I. tools that are being developed and others think that it takes away from original work done by humans. Delcan believes that everything working together will make room for a better and more powerful industry. I mean humans are still behind it all.

    Even though, these Prompt-Brush drawings are being spat out pretty quickly, there is still the human touch, and users cannot expect an immediate response unlike image-generating algorithms says Katz.

Nigerian Street Buka's Logo - Project 25 Final

-
Image
     Nigerian clothing and street restaurant signs are filled with vibrant and bold colors. Each region's colors vary, but many wear colorful attire at some point.      To begin my logo process, I came up with the name Nigerian Street Buka. I wanted Nigerian and street in the name so that people knew what kind of food it was, but I also wanted it to be unique so I named it Nigerian Street Buka. Buka refers to small local shops in Nigeria, and that is what my restaurant represents. I also knew that I wanted to represent music and food.      Then, I sketched 30 thumbnails, and from the 30 that I sketched, I chose 3 thumbnails. I then created 3 roughs from these thumbnails, adding more detail. I again chose 1 rough for my final design.      I uploaded a photo of my rough to Adobe Illustrator, and I began drawing everything out with the pen tool. As I came to the final logo, I realized that there were some details that I did ...

Nigerian Street Buka's Brand Identity - Project 26

     Now that a Logo had been established for Nigerian Street Buka , it was time to create a Brand Identity. For this part of the assignment, we were supposed to create a Business Card , Letterhead , Envelope , and a Website Mock-up (For a cell phone screen.) for our restaurant.      I began this project by researching various brand identities and business cards. I wanted to get a feel for what was out there in the world of the restaurant industry. Anyone can come up with a generic design for their brand identity, but if you want your brand identity to speak to your customers visually and emotionally, there needs to be a great portion of brainstorming and planning: colors, shapes, typography, and more need to be taken into careful consideration.      After completing my research, I drew my artboards out for each project piece and began contemplating a few designs. I knew my colors would be a combination of two or three colors that I pick...

Nigerian Street Buka's Touchpoints - Project 27

Introduction      To continue with learning about what makes a successful brand identity and how to create one, this week we are to design three more touchpoints that we would consider using for our restaurant.      Now that we are in week three of Intro to Marketing and Self-Promotion , I am beginning to really understand branding and what it takes to have a successful brand. I know I still have a lot to learn, but designing a business from scratch helps teach someone how to go through the process themselves. It gives you a little taste of what it's like. Through-out my travels, I notice that I am zoning in on the brands that are in my environment.      One brand that I was focusing in on was Starbucks . Their name and symbol are everywhere. When you order Starbucks, you have a little piece of their brand in every step of the process. This includes their napkins, straws, coffee sleeves, bags, merchandise, stickers, etc. When you walk ...
