Can AI really Design? – Examples
As AI evolves, so does its ability to generate fully designed marketing and advertising materials. Below is an attempt to use three different AI-generating services to create a 2-sided brochure.
Google’s Gemini
(https://gemini.google.com/app)
Prompt: 2-sided flyer design for a fresh salad food truck serving local farm-sourced ingredients. Colors: mostly greens with fresh salad colors; style: loose watercolor illustrations; and social media icons for X and Instagram, and a QR code.
I found that asking Gemini to create a mock-up was the key to getting it to create ideas.
