But what does AI Powered Design offer?
There is sometimes a misconception about what AI Design tools are meant to do. Some people worry they will be replaced by AI, but this technology isn’t quite that advanced. The truth is these tools do some things really well, and other things, not so much.
Like most technologies in their relative infancy, AI Design tools still need some human intervention and direction. What they can do though, is help to expedite certain elements of design, or completely take over tedious, repetitive tasks. This, in turn, allows marketers and creatives to spend more time on the aspects of design and marketing they enjoy, and that require a more human touch.
Here’s a look at eight leading AI tools, and what they can help you to accomplish.
Jasper.ai
Jasper.ai is known as being a very strong all-in-one marketing platform that also offers AI design features. It’s particularly popular with marketers and bloggers as an AI writing assistant. However, this robust software can do a lot more than just write website copy.
Some of Jasper’s key design capabilities include:
- Creating high-converting marketing materials – Facebook and Instagram ads, social media posts, etc.
- AI image generation
Jasper.ai is used by over 100,000 global businesses, including big names such as IBM, Google, and Airbnb.
Designs.ai
Like Jasper.ai, Designs.ai positions itself more broadly as an AI powered marketing platform. Also, similar to Jasper, Designs.ai offers a wider range of functions, not all of which fall under the category of design.
However, Designs.ai does have several very attractive tools that make it worth exploring for small businesses:
- Logo generation – Users have access to over 100 templates to get them started
- Video generation
- Voice generation
- Speech generation
Adobe Sensei
Those with experience in graphic design are undoubtedly already quite familiar with Adobe. But even the most die-hard Adobe fans may not be hip to all of the things their robust software is capable of.
Adobe Sensei is a layer of artificial intelligence and machine learning that enhances the creative tools in Adobe products. Here are some of the very impressive design elements this AI component of Adobe offers:
- Automatically removes the background from images
- Turns simple black and white drawings into color images
- Has facial recognition editing to help quickly adjust smiles in images of people.
Uizard
Uizard is an interesting option for UI design. Initially beginning in 2017 as an AI project to turn hand-drawn website designs into code, it has grown by leaps and bounds and as of 2023 had 400,000 users.
This sophisticated platform allows users to upload a screenshot or even just a napkin sketch, and convert it into an editable design with the click of a button.
Uizard can also be used to:
- Generate multiple variations of a logo in minutes, once the design aesthetic is provided by the user
- Create interactive prototypes that allow for collaboration by teams working on website projects
Fronty
Fronty continues with the theme of converting hand-drawn images to code, in this case, converting images into HTML CSS websites. Fronty, in their own words, helps web developers to “ship websites at the speed of thought.”
The platform offers several design options, including:
- Free Image to HTML
- Free Sketch to HTML
- Free PSD to HTML
Fronty is a popular platform for those that are either learning web design, or even more experienced developers looking to streamline workflow processes.
Khroma
Anyone that has spent much time dabbling in graphic design can attest to how tricky it can be to find color palettes that are visually appealing and that also work harmoniously with one another. Thankfully, Khroma is up to this task.
By simply giving the AI engine your preferences in color, this cool little tool generates limitless harmonious color schemes using AI. It’s a great tool for helping content creators refine their brand kit.
AutoDraw
AutoDraw is another one of those innovative tools that takes your very rudimentary, if you’re anything like me, downright ugly drawings and guesses what you were going for, replacing it with more polished clip-art-like options in real-time.
You can then further customize the generated image options by:
- Adding color
- Adding text
- Adjusting the line size and weight
The basic AutoDraw software is free to use, and because it is web-based, can be accessed from anywhere.
Deep Art Effects
Deep Art Effects gives graphic design a really cool twist by transforming images, videos, or even your smartphone camera into stunning works of art in famous painting styles like Van Gogh, Monet, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Picasso, Rembrandt, and many more. They boast an astounding array of styles; over 120 in all. Deep Art Effects works quickly to render images and currently boasts over 2 million global users and an impressive 200 million created artworks.
Conclusion
