RESEARCH SUMMARY

Summary

There is a lot of controversy around Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and the use of specific goal-oriented algorithms to shape the future of design and the designer’s role. But how will that affect our careers as graphic and digital designers in the long run?

Definition explanation

A.I. Technology has two unique characteristics. First, it exhibits capabilities that ordinary machines don’t have. Second, it exhibits an intelligence that allows learning by itself. A.I. enables computers the faculty of gaining knowledge and exhibiting human behavior. With the help of computers, A.I. can now do the tasks that humans used to be able to do.

Some interesting facts about AI

Is A.I. capable of creating art? The answer could surprise you. Let me introduce the Alibaba Group’s A.I. graphic design product called LuBan. It is an A.I. platform that is capable of designing 8,000 different banners per second. On November 11, 2017, LuBan displayed over 400 million online banners during China's biggest online shopping festival. If we assume that it takes one human designer 20 minutes to design a single banner, we will need 100 designers to work continuously for 150 years just to produce the same number of banners.

The issue

We designers already have one question in mind: What will be the future of graphic designers?” This thesis’ target audience is the designers of the future.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

I have found that A.I.’s information can be difficult to understand. I want to provide people with a basic understanding of A.I. with an interactive and engaging digital publication. The future of A.I. will identify patterns in the image to patch, edit, create stimulating visual styles, personalize the user experience, and analyze huge amounts of data. Low-level design jobs will be eliminated. Investing in retraining or “upskilling” designers is an urgent priority that corporations, educators, or individual workers should be taken into consideration. I propose to create an organization that will provide retraining and re-skilling to help reduce the learning curve. Instead of seeing A.I. as a threat to the design profession, A.I. can help designers do things better than the way they do them now. High-level designers have to compensate by learning to work with A.I. It is time we start recognizing these opportunities so we can work better with technology. I want to design A.I. services and platforms to help graphic designers enhance our creativity, society, and relationships with the rest of the world.

How long did it take you to design this particular concept?

Artificial Intelligent in Graphic design project is the Academy of Art University of Graphic Design’s Master of Fine Art thesis project, which took 2 years to develop. The thesis project emphasizes the advanced study of the field by conducting quantitative and qualitative research, focus group, inspiration, ideation, prototyping, and user-testing.

Unique Properties
The thesis, Minarva, is a campaign that aims to create a meaningful human-machine relationship. Instead of eliminating the designer’s occupation, Artificial Intelligence will become a design partner and tool that designers can utilize to meet ever-evolving workplace demands. Minarva can help designers get a basic understanding of Artificial Intelligence and the impact it brings to the design field. This should encourage designers to take advantage of this technology.

Design Challenge
The lack of understanding of Artificial Intelligence technology is the main reason why humans fear being replaced by machines. The most challenging aspect of promoting Artificial Intelligence technology is organizing and delivering information to convince graphic designers that Artificial Intelligence cannot replace creative and critical thinking tasks but only do repetitive and monotonous jobs.
Research
The graphic design MFA thesis development research aims to engage technology in a meaningful way by improving the designer's skills. In 2018, a total of 36 designers and computer scientists joined the focus group in San Francisco which generated meaningful insights that lead to a thesis project. Various deliverables were developed including a promotional campaign, website, design app, publication, and design conference materials.
Inspiration
According to NPR’s: Will your job be done by a machine? the report, there’s an 8 percent chance that graphic design jobs will become automated within 20 years. How can we convince current designers that Artificial Intelligence is not a threat and should be embraced in order to help them solve problems by doing highly repetitive jobs?
Project Duration
The MFA thesis project started in September 2017 and finished in December 2019 in San Francisco.
Operation Flow
Artificial Intelligence In Graphic Design Conference is a 3-day event in San Francisco, CA in November. Each day there is a design workshop, talks from different speakers. The goal behind this event is to help designers understand what is Artificial Intelligence and how to work with Artificial Intelligence to achieve something bigger in the creative industry.
