DALL-E, world-famous architecture, and grid-centric artists
Exploring ideas with AI image generation based on complementary parameters
Digital design is all about grids. Nothing happens without it. Every pixel-based shaped is based on a grid.
Designers and artists know that beyond the freedom of the drawn line, there lies the grid and geometry. Every blank page has a center, a foreground and background, compositional spaces, visible and invisible circles and triangles. Even if they final product looks as if it was done by magic, it is based on a grid.
Sometimes, when designing, we get stuck at the blank page. We experience designer’s block. Nothing happens. Nada. No shape appears, no line gets drawn.
However, luckily, DALL-E, as an AI tool, can help us with ideation. With the right prompts and conceptual thinking, we can explore new ways to look at a design problem, and if interesting, develop further and iterate.
Let’s experiment.
Understanding the prompt concept for the generative image
I find that setting a concise prompt for an AI image, in any AI tool, is crucial for understanding the outcome of the given prompt.
