We want to be able to focus on solving the big problems, rather than stressing over the semantics.
The typical design process involves ideating, wireframing, creating high-fidelity mock-ups and then testing with people. There are AI tools which fit into each of these parts of the process.
The ideation process can differ based on what project you are working on. If you’re working on the design of a character for a film, the process will be different to understanding the pain points of users of an application.
If your ideation process needs to be more style-based, then you could take advantage of a tool like Dalle-2.
With Dalle-2, you can provide text prompts which the system then internalises and provides some images of what it thinks you mean.
For example, with the prompt “astronaut playing football in the style of the film Tron Legacy”, Dalle-2 created these pieces of art:
The outcome of these prompts are often still quite rough and unpolished, so you will likely not be able to create an entire scene or design based off them, but they provide a good starting place for idea generation and visualising the theme you’re trying to describe.
If you’re working on a UX/UI project, your ideation process should significantly prioritise user feedback and interpretation of their problems. However, if you’re after some quick UI inspiration, you could prompt Dalle-2 with the theme of your app. Here’s one for “a website landing page for a new pair of running shoes”:
