using ChatGPT for sign design and logos

[ddarlak]

I needed a single chicken in a pasture for a sign this week. Spent a few minutes searching on web before I thought, duh use AI.

Got a perfect chicken in a pasture in 10.37 seconds.

Don't know why it had to brag about it taking 10.37 seconds.

For those of you that get good results, perhaps you can share what sites you are using. That would be helpful to others that want to do the same. i am sure some services have better results than others

Also write out what you typed in to achieve those results and share the photos. I have seen a few oddball examples in this thread so far

I did my Pepsi splash with fire fly I think.... I was experimenting with what I could use through our Adobe subscription/tools

I was looking for a background for the wife's Valentine's card.
Snached a list of emoji's off the web, clipped and arranged them the way I wanted:

Told my AI slave to 'make me look good'

So GAC05 has a round head and smiles a lot. He would be easy to spot in a crowd.

To pull back on topic.
Customer sent me a pencil drawing of a logo he wanted.
I drew it up and got it to where he wanted it.

Loaded it as a bitmap into Adobe Firefly to use as the reference image at 100% strength.

It definitely needs to be improved to stop mangling text.
It's not good for a logo, but it looks pretty neat.

Honestly, we do a lot less design work than we used to. A lot of my customers are repeat and we are still using logos from days gone by, or new customers come in with their nephew art. Canva seems to be here to stay, as does AI stuff. There are some cool things about AI, I wish I knew more, but it always seems like people that try to use that stuff never understand why it won't work on the side of a semi trailer. The local boutiques never seem to realize that what they did on canva can't be read from 10 feet away either. Very little of my money comes from design these days, and I'm not sad about it. I'll take production over design any day of the week. I'd rather go dig from frozen post holes over trying the please the girlfriends, wives, members of the board, etc.

Design work is shrinking as AI and Canva take over, but many don’t get why their designs fail on big prints. Repeat customers and "nephew art" keep things going, but production is a more reliable source. Better to focus on making quality prints than struggling with unrealistic design expectations

The designs fail on big prints because what you get is something like 640x320 pixel image.

Evidently the AI hasn't read the U.S. Flag Code.

Funny, I had a meeting with Spencer Gifts about 15+ years ago. In the lobby, while waiting for the meeting to start, they had a Flag Etiquette flyer posted in their bulletin board. I read that thing twice over, and it's now like a disease I contracted. I can't help but pick apart any flag display that is not proper.

I used photoshop AI, customer wanted a worker with safety gear, showed them the proof, then they wanted safety glasses, AI add safety glasses done!, blue hard hat, ai done, brown gloves and boots, ai done, orange vest instead of fluorescent, ai done. it took me no time and customer was super excited, yes a lot of things could had been done in photoshop but with AI it took me literally no time to meet customer request. so I don't totally hate AI.

It's not generated... And its 100% vector.
I'd rather draw than just tell a bot what I want... This is all vector, all easily editable, modifiable, printable, scalable, can modify colors in seconds, and done in an afternoon. I do this stuff just for fun and practice.

All I used for this is a pen tool to make vector shapes, fill colors, layer masking, and blurs, no brushes or other effects (do put an HSL layer so I can change the color at will). I've done a lot of canvas wraps with drawings like this of peoples (or their favorite) cars boats, bikes, etc, to hang in their man caves. Yes, ai will eventually become the norm, but how can you take any pride in that over drawing. Sadly, human skills are fading away.

That's beautiful!

Thank you...
I'm not just another pretty face. Seriously, my wife will back me up on that

This reminds me of the motorcycle tutorial they had in the corel x3 manual. I couldn't even begin to imagine how a glare looks from a particular angle, or anything of the sort. Kudos for certain.

People here call me the Vector Junkie, and motorcycles are my specialty.
