One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

I am sure that many of you reading this didn’t study it either, and had to gravitate yourselves towards UX on your own.

I’ve been playing with Midjourney and I think it is incredible. The TLDR of that: We have sites now where you can type in a phrase and AI generates images for you based on concepts. Problem is: every dataset is biased and comes with issues. The images probably aren’t and …will always be grade-B versions of actual art. But they’re great tools. Need to have an illustration of… an engineer, sitting at their desk, while the clock ticks over their head?
