Graphic Designer VS AI DALL·E 😩 Is This The End? 

Will AI take your job?

Don’t worry. In order for AI to take over, clients first need to explain what they really want.

Will, I’m a Designer approaching 30 years of experience. Back in the early 90s I remember the release of timeline video editing, the introduction of layers in Photoshop, bezier curve editing in Illustrator and duplicating pixels using the clone tool… I remember doing very complex work taking very long days and sleepless nights… I also remember someone saying that in the future, to an unborn generation all of these things would be as easy as using crayons. I remember feeling a sense of awe because what we were doing was so advanced at the time… I remember thinking how could that even be possible within my lifetime. I now live in that future where skill has been replaced by apps that do in seconds what I used to do in hours or days… all on a smartphone.. with no training using only a finger. Mark my words that AI can and will mature… rapidly… however the realisation of the enhancement wont be seen by an unborn generation like it was for us some 20 years later- but in this generation. I think what we’re seeing today will seem childlike and old fashioned within a year or so… mark the date. What will this type of AI be capable of within 5 years? 10 years?

Dall-e 2 has gone into public beta. Dall-e Mini is now called Craiyon, which got a huge boost in performance. You don't use prompt engineering, which is a great factor in why you get bad results.

Unfortunately most of the nuanced differences between the AI output and a creative team’s work are not innately appreciated by many clients. They have a gut feeling for what they like and don’t like. And if they find something they like for near-free on an AI site on their phone, they will simply run with it and never give the chance to you or your team to see what you can do. And they will never know or feel a loss. We have been riding toward a diminishing aesthetic for some time now.

The one called Dall-E mini is really outdated, it's been updated to a newer version and renamed to Craiyon and it's even better. It got renamed so it doesn't get confused with the actual Dall-E by OpenAI which isn't affiliated with "Dall-E Mini"/Craiyon. There is a really good alternative to Dall-E 2 called MidJourney, and it recently went into public beta. I recommend trying it, it's really high quality.

I think AI and Graphic design goes hand-in-hand. The two together can create an amazing piece! This was very informative , thank you for this gem Will. What are your views on BlueWillow? It would be amazing if you would share your views of it in your next video. I am curious to see what the new tool can do.

If you like I could generate prompts, in Stable Diffusion an open source competitor to Dalle-2. And you can do a "Who makes it better"

It is scary. DallE Mini or the other generator in this video are obviously subpar. But the current version of DallE or some other AIs are tremendously better at designing objects, graphics, people, you name it. And this development isn't gonna stop today. I'm currently looking for my first job as a product designer/ concept artist and all of this AI stuff is kinda depressing.

You probably could've put out an ask on Twitter or something for people to put your prompts into Dall-E. I have Dall-E 2 and Midjourney access if you want me to submit anything. I can even screen record the process for a video.

I actually use Looka for logo composition references all the time 😅

1 more video on this topic brother 💖🥀

I'm so curious on how AI will do!

I think dall e will become a tool for designers in future like adobe programmers because dall e will not create something new from an initial concept What dall e do is that he combine pictures from the internet to make artworks or designs so the result won't be unique and original I see dall e as a tool not a threat AI will take jobs with no creative process.

nice video. very good content.

AI has done an amazing job in making new artwork in seconds

I like the way the squiggly line fits into a grid

Totally agree what you said ‘bout ai helping designer, but i add “just for now”.

on a side note, i can see this mess with the already made market like envanto and etsy for premade assets.

In every case in history where automation took one job it created 2 more. I'm not concerned at all.

Kindly guide me i want to apply for graphic designing but I'm confused in Artificial intelligence.. what should i do

This was so informative ! It is such a tricky question - if AI will take our jobs. It does save on time and gives you the results you want though ! What are your thoughts on BlueWillow? I am really curious in hearing your thoughts about this new tool and what it can achieve. Please share in your next video

hey will, do you know any good free substitutes for illustrator

I am actually so amazed by this, thank you so much for this information/insight 😃 What are your thoughts on BlueWillow? Please share more information about it in your next video. Hearing quite a number of people talk about this tool has made me very curious to learn how it works and what it can do. I believe I can learn a lot from you.

litrally the coolest video idea

YET.. YET is the key word here! AI can not create anything as great as humans YET, it's only a matter of time. I think designer need to focus on creative thinking not just craftsmanship...

In the short term designers will use AI as a tool, in the future (maybe within the next 15 to 20 years) the 'tool' will replace the designer. So yes, AI will eventually replace (the majority, maybe not all) Graphic Designers, Illustrators, Concept Artists, Architects, 3D modelers and Writers. Why would corporate companies invest in human designers/writers if an AI can do the same task faster, cheaper and match the quality of their human counterparts. I saw some of the things DALL.E and Midjourney did...Illustrators and concept artists are screwed to be honest. I don't think it will replace traditional artists as art is subjective and people will always want that 'human touch' when it comes to a painting hanging on one's wall...I am a Graphic Designer, and this stuff scares me to be honest.

Daleks!! No wait.. its Dall-e

Eventually...But not yet

I see your points but sadly I have to disagree. You are using either bad programs or unrelated ones to prove your point. Dall E won't make you logos, probably not even the full version. The logo generator is not a very advanced AI (if it all). Maybe it will take longer for logo, UI, etc... to get an AI that will steal graphic designers' jobs but for photoshop artists, concept artist and things similar to this are almost losing their jobs. Look at Mid Journey for example. It makes "artworks" (whether its art or not is a debate for a different day) in seconds! It's simple to use and creates very impressive images. Perhaps even more impressive than Dall E. There is no adapting if there is no use for humans. If anyone can just ask an AI to make what he needs then why ever hire someone? We are only at the beginning, the technology is advancing at a great speed. As much as it pains me to say, soon all artists will lose their jobs. Even film makers! (edit: it will take quite long for film makers to lose their jobs though)

This is the question I've been asking myself since yesterday and it really scare me in a way. When I see the job DALL.E but also Midjourney can do, It's disturbing to try to imagine what we will have in some years, or even months in term of art AI. But I find that, even if it creats amazing pieces of art, I still find it "superficial" and hollow. Probably because a huge part of the depth in a artwork is in the emotion that the artist put in it, and so in the process of creation.

i am a motion graphic artist and really scared about the new technology of AI let's see I hope It should be not sucessfull

Now Am bit relaxed.. Jab computer aaya tha tab bhi designers ko yahi laga hoga ki ab toh wo sab khud hi kr lega,,but usne designers ki ulta aur help ki.. So i think the conclusion is "You just learn new things & technology time to time"

I think creating something that has never been created before with storytelling element will survive the until at least (IF) AGI is achieved.

They took our jobs! 😭🖋🤖 for real though proper AI freaks me out

I have acsess to dalle 2 and paid acsess to midjourney, if you want to make a real artist vs dalle/midjourney vid you can send me promts and i can give you the results. i think you will find midjorney does good logo ideation but not finals. however you should try other types of design, i am often blown away yet other times it fails too.

This new technology is nothing short of magical. I think most people are kidding themselves (complete denial) about the timeline, the potential and scale of disruption this technology will bring. It will happen virtually over night. We will move through an experimental phase (a curiosity, playing, discovering uses for it), a curation phase (AI as an iterative tool, then more as a partner/intern) and eventually AI starts replacing us from the bottom up as the technology keeps improving and gets democratized (accessible by basically anyone). All the while its going to be improving, improving, improving... Yes, this is the end but it is also a beginning. We are looking at Adobe Illustrator v1, we will see 2, 3, 4 not every 2 years or annually but every three to six months or faster. This tech will be incredibly powerful in just 2-4 years. Embrace this tech now and stay ahead of the pack.

Still, Dalle and other AI developers hired a designer to build their brand.. 🤔

I don't think AI will not make many people loss their jobs, I think it will help artists save on time which will give way for them to add on more clients = more income. But I can see how It can also be a sort of threat to graphic designers. What are your views on BlueWillow? I just started using the tool and I am really interested in hearing what you have to say about it .Please share in your next video

If an AI starts drawing better than I can, I think it will take my job… I just haven’t see one draw yet

You also watch for midjourney A.I this also crazy. 😱..

the logo you see on my icon, is my coffee logo as well, is there an AI logo maker that you can place an image and it and will make a new one with that design?

I have access to the full version of Dall-e and it's atrocious at creating logos. What I love the AI for is to create place holders for websites and for creating art for T-shirts or other company merch

yes, yes it is.

Smashing logo is better than luka in my opinion

AI is Adobe Illustrator

If you are someone churning out generic logos and designs then be worried, if you are creative and able to add real value to your clients then don't worry.

Dall-E is the Skynet of graphic designers.

7:00 main point why graphics designers will dominate over computer generated work.

This is the end of all designers. So honestly. DALL-E is good, but it cannot replace a designer, but you can use it, like ChatGPT, as a complement to your work.

I’m hand drawn so I’m already out the conversation

The industrial revolution and it’s consequences have been a disaster for graphic designers…

the one at 4:00 is not ai, it just has a pool of hundreds of bought assets and throws them at you and has you buy a license to use it... that's right you don't buy the rights to it.

Hy bro ☺️

just a tool for designers thats all...

I have access to Dalle 2 and would be happy to let you try. You in?

Give it another ten years and ai might create coherent campaigns.

10 months later....

Graphic artists won't be the last professional skill-set mastered, and in all likelihood taken much further, faster by AI. This revolution is just getting started. UBI will be necessary in the coming decades.

As a graphic designer, I can't avoid to be concerned about AI.

I think graphic design as a career and industry is already f*cked. It's bad enough we must compete with people who never studied design and will charge 5 dollars for logos. Then there are the clients who think they're the designers and they just boss me around telling me how to vectorize their logo design with no care for my input on whether their design will properly target their audience and solve problems ( most of these clients were family and friends but still 🙄). Then we have so many freelance websites that make us pay money to bid for mostly gigs or make us work for free in design contests which is very exploitative. Breaking into the industry is very difficult too, it's highly saturated, and to get a job they want gazillion years of experience and hundreds of different skills because they want the graphic designer to also be a receptionist and copy writer and guest service and community manager and novelist and movie director and full stack web developer for a low pay job doing boring social media templates on Canva using their bad logo their preteen nephew designed on MS Paint and it's a low resolution jpeg and of course their underpaid graphic designer is going to have to pass the logo to vector to make it sort of usable 😑. It's ridiculous. The truth is graphic design is one of the most misunderstood and under appreciated industries. Almost no one who needs our skills actually understands what we really do or why they need our skills and they have no respect for us at all. AI in comparison to all of the above seems to be the least of our problems, but still problematic. Meh, I'm already moving on to web development. I love graphic design but so many aspects of the industry suck.

But AI can't think itself. Still needs a person to imagine and then AI will do the job.

AI is amazing but it will take years for AI to understand that my client would like to see "Iron Man sitting on pink elephat with a red ribbon tied on his tail"🤣

You spelt stationery wrong. Lol. E for envelope! ;)

No hat.

Coming from someone who aspires to be a graphic designer I do not have any worries of AI taking over the art world, at least not anytime soon. Ais can't be creative, it's impossible nowadays, so they just collect information from pre-existing logos and pretty much smush it together. This is particularly obvious with the Dall.E AI. If you give an ai the word "Box" thats all it'll give back, but if you give a person "box" that can return with a fox or a retro tv or carrier pigeon, who knows? The best the ais can do is give the artist a starting point.

Read The Great Automatic Grammatizator by Roald Dahl

A graphic desinger trying not to look scared for 9 minutes 20 seconds

Human > AI

Dall E 2 is 100x better than mini

Obviously it's crap but TBF you did spell "stationery" wrong in the brief. Would that have skewed the result at all?

Stationary - unmoving Stationery - writing paper Just FYI! :)

You can't base an expert opinion on badly written prompts which is what you used. Spend some more time with the AI and you will learn it's limitations. For instance, on Dall-e if you say green yard and a red car, it will often swap the colors.

AI will not take my job but it shifts my kind of work. I think AI is great to be used for Tools i've ever dreamed of. And we are still Humans who want to sell Design to Humans, which need at least a touch of personality and authenticity.

1st

--/\ who is

its time for us to look for another job. greedy companies cant have enough money and want our pennies to satisfy their greed. Will, I think its time to make other type of content Graphic design will be dead soon.

This was so informative, AI is literally taking over and I love it ! It saves on so much time 😄 What are your views on BlueWillow? I am looking into this new tool and it would be wonderful to hear your insights. Please share in your next video

Hi, Will, try out the Midjourney - it is way better than Dall•e

I think AI and Graphic design goes hand-in-hand. The two together can create an amazing piece! This was very informative , thank you for this gem Will. What are your views on BlueWillow? It would be amazing if you would share your views of it in your next video. I am curious to see what the new tool can do.
