How will ai impact the role of designers ?
Gautier Schmitz
Hello there, my name is Gautier. I'm currently a graphic designer. For some time, a new world has opened up to us, that of "AI". So I must discover this new tool and share my findings with you.
Contrary to what one might hear, I don't think that AI is a threat to designers. On the contrary, I see it as an opportunity to be faster and spend more time on my projects, allowing me to deploy my creativity. To help with this, I offer you a selection of tools that use artificial intelligence in our various fields of work.

DALL-E 2
Dall-E is an AI developed by OpenAI that generates complex images from textual descriptions (prompts).
Dall-E is an AI developed by OpenAI that generates complex images from textual descriptions (prompts).
Its best features
Dall-E can be used to generate images randomly or by making modifications to existing images, which can be a great source of inspiration.
With the second version of the AI, you can also use a feature called inpainting to select and modify specific areas of existing images as well as add or remove elements.

MIDJOURNEY
Midjourney is an artificial intelligence designed to generate images from text. It is particularly useful for those looking to create illustrations or find inspiration for their various projects.

Its best features
I find Midjourney interesting for graphic designers because unlike Dall-E, which is based on realism, it can generate examples of websites or logos based on a text. Additionally, you can generate unique images, meaning that no one else can generate the same image, which is super interesting for your creations.
During the generation process, the AI will offer you 4 proposals, and you have the ability to choose one or more images, edit them by adding or removing elements, and regenerate them, as illustrated above.
To make it easier for you to generate your creations, I have discovered MJ Prompt Tool is an advanced tool with GUI features that make it easy for you to input all the necessary information to generate an image. Simply type in your main idea and then use the various options to fine-tune your prompt.

Its best features
As illustrated above, Firefly first features a text to image, if you already know DALL-E, Midjourney and Stable diffusion, adobe firefly takes these concepts, adding more features such as some of the tools already found in our favorite Adobes software with the addition of graphic effects that can be applied to text.
Adding a vectorization tool from an image or simple drawing. The ia will also be able to generate a 3D image and you offer variants. The content of a video can be modified by a few text commands. Finally the creation of templates from a simple moodboard (for the moment this feature is not very successful and not very creative).

· The ease of use, the AI is very user-friendly.
· Time savings.
· Added value to programs we already use.
· Quality, for now it remains very basic, similar to Adobe Sensei and the template generator, not very creative or aesthetic.

Figma AI
Figma offers a series of AI plugins that can be used to generate content and design elements. Today, I am presenting you with a few that helped me create this blog.

Its best features
We start with a crucial element that replaces an everyday tool of filling text with lorem ipsum. With the addition of Chat GPT in Figma “FigGPT”, we can now easily add text, modify it, shorten it, lengthen it, with all the properties that Chat GPT already offers.
Secondly, I suggest the "Automator" plugin. It allows you to automate repetitive tasks by creating customized automation that can be triggered with a single click. Super useful to discover Figma and all the specificities of the software !
Next, we have "Magician" which has several tools such as creating icons through a prompt, a "Copywriting" function that offers different sentence structures or texts based on your existing text, as well as a "text to image" feature directly integrated into Figma.
