ai analogies

with photography, the 'inputs' or 'creative choices' include the subject, the framing, and technical qualities like exposure, focus, aperture and iso. the output, the thing that's judged, is then the qualities of the image - composition and colour and narrative. since photography is very quick, a photographer will typically take many shots of a subject, and then pick out the ones they like best to share with the wider world, so there is also a curative element.

with collage (and also photobashing, and even the limited space of a dollmaker game), the 'inputs' are the choices of existing images, and the composition created by arranging them. so there's a curative element in selecting what to collage, and then new meaning is created by juxtaposing two previously unrelated images, the spatial relationships between them, and so on. (see also graphic design!) the visual qualities of the original image are relevant insofar as they affect the composition, but you don't judge a collage containing a painting or photo on how well-painted the painting or well-shot the photo is, rather on how well it uses that painting or photo.

with 'readymades' and similar genres of conceptual art, it's kind of similar, right? you put the existing objects in a new context and create meaning through how they're arranged. people respond to whether the idea it communicates is interesting. (often these days they come with some text which gives a key to inform you how to interpret the artwork.)

anyway. with drawing and painting, which are comparatively laborious to create, you are constantly making thousands of creative choices, from the broad scale - composition, value structure, how you construct a figure - to the tiny, like line weight, rendering, shape design. to navigate this vast space of possibility, you will be informed by your memory of other pictures you've seen (your personal 'visual library') and techniques you've practiced, reference images you've gathered, and so on. the physical qualities of your body and the medium will also affect your picture - how you move your arm, how watercolor moves across the paper, etc etc.

broadly the same is true for other very involved media like sculpture or computer graphics or music (of all kinds!). more fine-grained control implies both more work and more scope for creative choices.

when someone sees an image created by whatever means, they take all of this in at once, for a gestalt impression - and if they feel like it, they can look closer and appreciate the particular details. many artists will think about trying to create a composition that 'leads the eye' to take in particular points of interest and convey the narrative of the picture.

so then, 'AI'. your inputs are the design of the neural net, the selection of training data, the text/image used as a prompt and then finally the selection of an image produced by the program. (you can modify that image of course but let's not get into that for now). chances are you don't have a lot of control over the first two since the computation involved is too unwieldy, though some image generators can be 'finetuned' with additional training data.

'AI art' is like photography in that you typically generate a lot of images and select the ones that 'come out well'. like a photographer looking for a subject, you might search around for an interesting prompt. it's unlike photography in that you have very limited control over all those other parameters (at best you can try to verbally describe what you want and hope the AI understands, or ask it to generate similar pictures and hope one has the qualities you want).

'AI art' is like collage in that you are taking existing images and creating new meaning of of them, by generating a latent space and transformation algorithm that approximates them. it's unlike collage in that you have no real knowledge of what specific images may be 'most' informing the corner of latent space you're probing. you can look at an AI generated image and say 'this looks kinda like a Nihei manga' but it's not using a specific image of Nihei. still, there is something similar to the relationship between images in collage when you do things like 'style transfer'.

'AI art' can be like conceptual art or for that matter political cartoons in that often it's just providing illustration to a concept or joke that can be expressed in words. 'Shrek in the style of The Dark Crystal' or 'cats that spell "gay sex"' is what you're getting across. but 'AI art' as a subculture places very high concern on the specific aesthetic qualities, so it's not that simple.

briefly, sampling in music often tends to foreground that it's a sample, either one the audience may recognise - the Amen break for example - or just by being noticeably different from the texture of the rest of the piece. even when the sample isn't easily recognised, though, the art of sampling is to place it in a new context which brings out different sonic qualities, e.g. by playing it rapidly in succession, or heavily filtering and distorting it, overlaying it with other sounds, or playing it right before the drop. it's similar to collage and photobashing.

paintings then. AI art rather obsessively tries to imitate paintings, drawings, 3D graphics etc. some of its proponents even try to position it as obsoleting these art forms, rather than a new derivative art form. a lot of the fear from artists who work in those media is that, even if the AI generated images are a poor substitute for what we make, it will be 'good enough' to satisfy the people with the money, or discourage people from learning how to paint with all its nuances.

so, 'AI' may make results that look like a painting, but the process of making it is hugely different. rather than gradually constructing a picture and making decisions at each turn, you try out successive prompts to get a page full of finished pictures, and generate variations on those pictures, until you find one you like. it's most similar to the client who describes an image they want and then makes requests to tweak it. there is still creativity in this, because it's kind of replicating the back-and-forth between an artist and client/art director/critique-giver/etc. however, in this analogy, it's hampered by the limited communication between you and the 'artist'. and it's a different sort of input, so we respond to it differently.

generating and posting AI art could also be compared to the kind of thing we do on this website, where we curate images we like and share them. you're all looking at the outputs of the same image generator and pointing and saying 'ooh, that one's cool'. what's kinda troublesome in this analogy is that AI obfuscates all that stuff about credit and inspiration, collapsing it all into one mass. unless their name was used in the prompt, you can't tell if the 'AI' image is 'drawing heavily' on any particular artist. this isn't a new problem - firstly websites full of uncredited images abound, secondly any creative process is inspired by loads of things that we can't enumerate or hope to divulge, so the idea of tracing the paths of inspiration is perhaps a mirage anyway. still, for me (sakuga fan type of person!), knowing what i can about the specific people involved in creating artwork and how they went about it is important, and that's heavily blackboxed by 'AI'.

none of this would be helped by harsher copyright laws. it's great that people can create derivative works and respond to existing art. that is the scaffold that launches us somewhere new and hopefully interesting. simply putting someone's work into an image generator to create similar pictures is not a very interesting statement in its own right, and a lot of AI illustration produced at the moment has a weirdly glossy, overproduced feeling that is offputting and leaves nowhere for the eye to settle (when it isn't just mush), but that's not to say AI is never going to be able to be used to say anything interesting or become a meaningful art form in its own right.

'AI' is kinda like a bunch of things but not exactly like any of them. (this isn't to get into the economic questions at all, that would be a much longer post!). but since there are people very sincerely devoted to this being an art form... I want to know how to 'read' these works - what I'm looking for in there, what a meaningful comment would be. bc right now when I see an illustration and realise it's AI generated image it's like... a sense of disappointment because whatever I was picking up on isn't actually part of the 'statement' in the way i thought. so it's like oh... that's nice. the machine picked a cool perspective huh? all the things i would normally appreciate in an illustration are outside the artist's control, so responding to them feels irrelevant! so what is the right mode here? there's more to it than just the choice of subject. but I feel like I have more to say about even a picrew.

In 1980, the release of The Empire Strikes Back, the highly anticipated sequel to Star Wars: A New Hope, marked a milestone in cinema, showcasing groundbreaking practical effects that continue to captivate audiences even in today’s digital age. Behind the scenes, the movie’s visual team faced challenges that would test their ingenuity and patience. In an era long before the sophisticated computer-generated graphics we know today, creating the opening crawl—the iconic text that rolls up into the stars—required painstaking precision and manual effort. Visual effects supervisor Ken Ralston and his team at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) achieved the famous crawl effect using a physical model crafted specifically for this purpose. The crawl model itself was no small feat, measuring two feet wide and six feet long. The text was printed on this long strip, which was then carefully angled to create the illusion of depth. The camera moved slowly along the text, capturing each word as it appeared to drift into space. It may seem surprising today, but every nuance, every shift of the camera on the model, had to be executed with absolute accuracy, or else the entire sequence would have to be redone. Ralston described the process as “pure torture,” a blend of “fun” and overwhelming attention to detail that required numerous takes to get everything just right.

For The Empire Strikes Back, achieving this crawl effect wasn’t just about moving a camera along the model; it was about creating an experience that would draw viewers into the story from the very first frame. Ralston’s team placed the text on a dark background, with carefully controlled lighting to ensure each letter appeared crisp and clear. The slightest error—a wobble in the camera’s movement, a tiny flaw in the text layout—would become glaringly obvious on the screen. Every little bump and blemish had the potential to ruin the illusion, so the team worked meticulously, often repeating the process to eliminate even the smallest imperfection. The crawl was shot on a 70mm camera to capture the detail needed for the large cinematic screen, and each take involved a long, continuous shot that ran over 2,000 frames. This meticulous effort was necessary to avoid the post-production issues that would have been far more complex and costly to fix. The dedication and artistry involved in creating this seemingly simple opening crawl speak volumes about the level of craftsmanship behind The Empire Strikes Back. In an era without digital shortcuts, these effects were entirely practical, and the team’s determination to make it seamless left a lasting impact on audiences, setting a new standard for cinematic intros.

The commitment to practical effects extended beyond the opening crawl; The Empire Strikes Back was a masterpiece of inventive visual storytelling across the board. The film was celebrated for its groundbreaking special effects, particularly in scenes featuring large-scale models, matte paintings, and stop-motion animation. The iconic snow battle on the ice planet Hoth, featuring AT-AT walkers moving across the landscape, was a standout sequence that pushed the boundaries of stop-motion animation and miniature photography. The ILM team used miniature models, shooting at high frame rates to ensure that each movement appeared smooth and lifelike. The coordination required to move the models, shoot at precise angles, and synchronize with live-action footage was intense, requiring the same level of dedication seen in the crawl sequence. Additionally, scenes involving the Millennium Falcon’s flight through an asteroid field presented unique challenges. Without the aid of digital effects, the team relied on hand-crafted models and painted backdrops, using creative camera techniques to give the appearance of speed and danger. Each effect in The Empire Strikes Back was a testament to the team’s resourcefulness and dedication, merging art and science in a way that laid the foundation for future visual effects in cinema.

Despite the labor-intensive nature of these practical effects, the result was a level of authenticity that resonates with audiences to this day. The decision to use physical models, matte paintings, and miniatures brought a tangible quality to The Empire Strikes Back that is difficult to replicate even with today’s advanced CGI. Ken Ralston and his team at ILM took on a monumental task, creating a film that not only entertained but also immersed viewers in a galaxy far, far away. Their commitment to practical effects was an act of creative problem-solving that defined the look and feel of the Star Wars universe, inspiring generations of filmmakers. The painstakingly crafted crawl became one of the most memorable parts of the franchise, capturing the magic of cinema through sheer effort and skill. Ralston’s account of the process as “fun but pure torture” encapsulates the dual nature of film production at the time—a blend of joy and relentless dedication. The Empire Strikes Back’s practical effects may seem dated in comparison to CGI, but their impact endures, reminding audiences of an era when effects were achieved through physical craftsmanship, and every frame reflected the hard work of skilled artisans behind the scenes.

eyeless jack

jack remembered you from back in college. the two of you never really talked, you weren’t even in the same department—he studied medical sciences—nor were you in the same year, but he had seen you around campus a few times and distinctly remembered you as attractive. he had always considered talking to you, but before he had the opportunity to, calamity struck, and he became a flesh-eating demon.

his memories of you soon faded into the distance, and he had nearly forgotten about your existence when he saw you again on an empty street at dusk. he instantly recognized you, and from there, he silently followed you home, watching you from afar.

it was just curiosity at first, a hint of nostalgia perhaps, but quickly it developed into something far darker, far more sinister.

the first thing he noticed was your looks, particularly your size. he liked how small you were. he’s grown quite a bit since college, what with being a demon and all, and he loved the idea of the size difference between the two of you. he didn’t have much of an opinion on your hair colour, though he liked the waves. he couldn’t see them too well from outside your window, but he did take note of your sunspots, finding them beautiful.

jack paid close attention to what you wore, and he had discovered a few things. namely, that platform boots looked good, and summer dresses with thin cardigans were exceptionally attractive on you. additionally, he liked that you wore earrings, and he’d remember all the different ones.

he was ecstatic to find out what you did in your spare time and just how much you had in common. he didn’t think the majority of people read anymore, let alone wrote, so it was a more than pleasant surprise to find out that you did. what was even better was that you liked the same genres as him. it was particularly delightful to him that you wrote, and he couldn’t help but read them in secret while you weren’t home.

he also quite liked video games and anime himself, especially kingdom hearts. he used to play a fair amount of cod zombies when he was younger, and even a bit of pokemon though he didn’t like it as much as other games. still, he found it relaxing to watch you play, in particular, animal crossing.

jack enjoyed watching you decorating stationary, but what he even liked more was taking them, having stolen one of your notebooks for himself, leaving you to wonder just how in the world you had lost it.

something jack really liked about you was that you were introverted. he, too, was an introverted person, not exactly shy either, but just not up for being around others constantly, and he found it relieving that you were the same way. still, he saw the way you interacted with your friends, and he longed for the day when you would act the same way with him.

he had mixed feelings about how passive you were. on the one hand, he hated how hard you tried to please others, especially how you’d act as a complete pushover for them when they clearly weren’t worth the effort or energy. on the other hand, that was exactly how he wanted you to be, just that he wanted it only for himself.

jack was good with being able to read people’s feelings, but he liked how obvious yours were; it made you all the more vulnerable to him. he also noticed that you could be passive-aggressive, though he didn’t think it’d be a problem for him.

he had also observed you pacing around, zoning out for lengthy periods of time, and it always made him curious as to what exactly you were doing or thinking about. he wanted so badly to know every thought on your mind.

sometimes the people around you would find out that you had much to say on certain topics. they wouldn’t always listen to everything, but jack would. he would mentally record each and every word you said. the majority of the time, he found the topic just as fascinating as you did. even if it was information he already knew, he realized that he liked it more after hearing you talk about it.

jack wanted you for himself; that much was clear. the only reason he hadn’t done it yet was because he wasn’t sure how to go about it.

he knew that you were in college, even double majoring, which he found rather impressive. however, he wasn’t well versed in terms of computer science himself. he admired the amount of effort you put into your studies and your dedication. he also found it cute how competitive you could be. as someone who went to college himself, though he didn’t finish it, he understood the value and importance of it to you.

and so he had a hard time deciding what to do with you. the monstrous side of him sought to simply rip you from your life, taking you away from everything that you’d known so that you could be his and his alone. however, he didn’t want you to be unhappy. he liked you so much partially because he thought the two of you would be good together, and forcing you into it would ruin the point.

ideally, you would be able to continue your studies while being with him, and so he decided that he would take you, bring you to him as gently as possible, carefully coax you into a life with him. hopefully, then, you will be able to resume your studying without a problem.

however, if nothing he did worked, or if you caused him to fear your escape, he’d give in to his impulses and decide your fate for you.

Enhancing User Experience Through Professional Graphic Design

Introduction: 

In today's electronic environment, user experience , commonly referred to as UX design, plays a central role in regulating the success of websites, applications, and products. UX design encompasses several disciplines, and graphic design is one of them.

What is Graphic Design ? 

Before exploring the connection between graphic design and UX design, it is helpful to begin with a solid explanation of graphic design. 

Graphic design is a field of ideas, creativity, and visual impact, and it is instrumental in conveying brand identity and establishing a cohesive visual language across all touchpoints.

 A brand's persona can be reflected through graphic design, which encompasses everything from logos and icons to colour palettes and typography.

Additionally, designing magazine layouts, creating posters, and developing packaging design are all aspects of graphic design.

In contrast, user experience (UX) designers focus more on the interactions between the product and the end user. The primary focus of UX designers is how the product is perceived and utilized by the target audience, ultimately applying user research to optimize the aforementioned outcomes.

The Crucial Role of Graphic Design in Enhancing User Experience: 

Using Software for Creating Digital Illustrations:

Graphic designers bring life to dull and colourless images, transforming them into works of art using computer software programs to communicate a given message.

Visual Hierarchy and Information Architecture:

Both graphic and user experience designers utilize principles of visual hierarchy and information architecture to present designs in an understandable and user-friendly manner. 

Furthermore, employing information architecture can enhance and organize the data, enabling users to easily navigate and find what they need.

Brand Identity and Design Consistency:

The primary focus of graphic design is often brand identity and design consistency. 

To address this issue ,using the same colour schemes, logos, typography, and other design elements helps build a recognizable brand identity.

Typography and Readability:

From a graphic design perspective, selecting the right font and typography can significantly impact the visual appeal of the product. 

However , if the text becomes difficult to read due to inadequate spacing between words or excessively small font sizes , it can negatively affect the user experience.

Therefore, graphic designers should select fonts that are easily legible across all devices and ensure that they are spaced in a way that enhances readability.

Colour Theory and Emotional Impact:

To elicit the targeted audience, colour theory is commonly used. It builds an emotional connection between the brand and the designed concept. 

For instance, warm colours like red and orange depict feelings of power and passion , whereas cooler colours like blue are more readily associated with feelings of calmness and stability.

Forms of Graphic Design:

Graphic design is a vast field that involves creativity, creating visual content to communicate concepts, ideas, and messages. It consists of various disciplines, for example: 

1) User Experience (UX) Design :

In UX design, visual feedback and affordances provide users with cues and indications about the functionality and interactivity of elements. Well-designed visual feedback enhances usability and engagement, helping users navigate the product with confidence and ease.

2) Motion Design and Packaging Design : 

Motion design is more animated; it consists of digital footage that creates the illusion of motion and is usually combined with audio for use in multimedia. On the other hand, packaging design consists of supplemental designs involving the connection of form, structure, imagery, colours, typography, and making the product suitable for marketing. 

3) Advertising and Marketing Design :

This discipline focuses on creating visual art for a particular organization, including branding, logos, prints, and ads for the promotion of products or services. 

Apart from these disciplines, there are seven elements of graphic design: 

Line, colour, texture, shape, space, images, and typography. 

These elements are used to convey information about the product and create visual content that communicates various aspects . 

Basically, graphic designers interact with these elements to create visually engaging and communicative designs and ideas. 

These elements assist them in crafting memorable and visually striking compositions through storytelling and conveying messages. 

Conclusion:

In the realm of UX design, graphic design serves as a bridge between functionality and aesthetics, shaping the overall user experience. From creating intuitive interfaces to establishing brand identity and evoking emotions, graphic designers play an important role in enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. Graphic designs are used in books, magazines, posters, and product packaging; on the other hand, graphics are employed in creating logos, digital brochures, and eBooks.

HTML Game Development: A Beginner’s Guide to Creating Interactive Experiences

HTML game development has become an accessible and exciting field for aspiring game developers. With its combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, creating interactive gaming experiences has never been easier. Whether you're looking to build your first game or refine your skills, this beginner’s guide will introduce you to the essential concepts and tools needed to get started in HTML game development.

Why Choose HTML for Game Development?

HTML5 is a powerful technology for developing games, offering several advantages:

Cross-Platform Compatibility: HTML5 games work seamlessly across various devices, including desktop computers, smartphones, and tablets.

Ease of Learning: If you already have basic web development skills, diving into HTML game development will feel like a natural next step.

Low Barrier to Entry: HTML-based games can be created without expensive software or advanced hardware.

Key Tools and Technologies

To start creating HTML games, you will need to familiarize yourself with the following technologies:

HTML5: This is the core language used for structuring the content of your game. HTML5 introduces the element, which is essential for drawing 2D graphics and handling animations.

CSS3: CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) helps in designing the layout and styling of your game. It’s used for elements like background colors, fonts, and even animations.

JavaScript: The backbone of any interactive HTML game, JavaScript handles the logic, animation, and user input. It allows you to control game mechanics, such as character movement, collisions, and score tracking.

Getting Started: Basic Game Structure

Set Up Your Development Environment: Before writing any code, ensure you have a text editor (like Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text) and a web browser (such as Chrome or Firefox) for testing your game.

Create the HTML Structure: Begin by setting up the HTML file with a element where the game graphics will be rendered. This will be your game’s "stage."

Add CSS for Styling: Use CSS to style the page, including setting up a background color or image for your game scene. You can also position your game canvas to fit the screen.

Write JavaScript for Interactivity: Use JavaScript to define the game logic, including how objects move, how players interact with elements, and how to manage events like starting and pausing the game.

Tips for Beginners

Start Small: Begin with simple games, like a basic platformer or puzzle game, to gradually learn the ins and outs of HTML game development.

Use Game Engines: While you can build games from scratch, game engines like Phaser.js can help streamline the process by providing built-in functionality for physics, input, and game states.

Test Frequently: Regularly test your game in different browsers and on various devices to ensure it runs smoothly across platforms.

Conclusion

HTML game development offers an exciting entry point into the world of game design. With the right tools, a bit of creativity, and determination, you can create engaging interactive experiences. By mastering HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, you’ll be well on your way to developing your first HTML game and sharing it with the world. Start experimenting today and discover just how fun and rewarding HTML game development can be!

Essential Skills Every Graphic Designer Should Have

Do you need a graphic designer ?

If you’re wondering, the answer is almost certainly yes, especially in today’s visually-driven world. Graphic designers play a crucial role in shaping how businesses, brands, and individuals present themselves to the world. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking to take your skills to the next level, understanding the key skills every creative graphic designer should have will help you stand out and succeed. These aren’t just technical abilities; they are the tools that help you solve problems, communicate ideas, and build lasting relationships with clients.

Let’s explore the essential skills that can make you a more successful, well-rounded graphic designer, and show you how to leverage them in your design journey.

To know more about Graphic Designing click here

Creative Thinking: Your Superpower in Design

Do you ever get stuck staring at a blank canvas, unsure of where to begin? This is where creative thinking comes in. As a creative graphic designer, the ability to think outside the box and generate new, innovative ideas is crucial. It’s not just about making things look good – it’s about solving a problem. Whether you’re designing a logo, a website, or a marketing campaign, you’re essentially a visual problem-solver. Creative thinking helps you translate complex ideas into simple, clear, and impactful designs that resonate with your audience.

Proficiency in Graphic Design Software: The Foundation of Your Work

If you’re wondering, “Does a graphic designer create logos?” the answer is a resounding yes – and that’s just one of the many things you’ll be expected to design. To execute your ideas, you’ll need to be proficient in graphic design software. Tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are staples in the industry, but you’ll also need to be familiar with other *apps for graphic designing. Tools like Figma or Sketch are essential if you’re working on user interface design or prototyping.

Mastering these tools isn’t just about knowing how to use them, but about using them to their full potential. Imagine you’re working on a logo for a new startup. You need to understand not only how to create it but also how it will look across multiple platforms, from digital screens to printed brochures. Graphic computer programs and software can help you deliver that versatility and flexibility.

Typography: The Art of Words in Your Designs

Typography is one of the most important skills you need as a graphic designer. Whether you’re designing a website or a print ad, typography helps convey your message. A well-chosen font can evoke the right emotions and ensure your content is both legible and visually appealing. Understanding how to pair fonts, adjust spacing, and maintain readability is essential, especially when you’re creating elements like logos or text-heavy materials like brochures or posters.

Consider this: You’re creating a brand identity for a client, and they’ve asked for a minimalist, modern look. Your choice of typography can make all the difference. Is the font too busy? Or does it complement the brand’s voice perfectly? Knowing how to select and manipulate typography helps you create a design that speaks louder than words.

Attention to Detail: Because Small Things Matter

Have you ever noticed a small typo in a design, or perhaps an image that’s slightly off-center? These tiny details can make or break a design. As a creative graphic designer, your ability to spot the small stuff is crucial. Whether you’re adjusting spacing or ensuring that every pixel is in place, attention to detail ensures that your design not only looks good but is polished and professional.

For example, when designing logos, a slight shift in alignment can affect the overall balance. Or, when working on a web layout, ensuring that images and text flow together seamlessly can create a better user experience. Clients want flawless work, and your attention to detail will help you deliver designs that impress.

Technical Mastery of Design Tools

the best graphic designers also need to have a strong technical foundation. Mastery of graphic design software is one of the most important traits of a professional graphic designer. Whether it’s Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) or newer AI-driven tools like AI graphic designers (e.g., DALL-E, Runway), a designer must be comfortable using a variety of tools to execute their ideas with precision.

AI-based tools are particularly exciting because they can generate designs or elements based on user input, making the process faster and sometimes more efficient. However, it’s important to note that AI graphic designers are tools to enhance creativity, not replace human talent. The best graphic designers combine their expertise with AI’s capabilities, maximizing both.

Popular Tools:
