As an avid explorer of innovative software, tools, and methodologies, I am constantly seeking fresh ways to enhance my craft. Like many professional illustrators and designers, I have recently delved into the realm of AI. Initially, I was underwhelmed by the results. Achieving the precise vision I had in mind seemed like an arduous task with AI.
However, what captivated me were the intriguing interpretations AI offered – at times bizarre, at times ingenious – which not only refined my own thought process but also inspired new creative avenues.
For more generic and straightforward requirements, such as a portrait shot, AI proved to be useful. Even amazing. For the poster below, rather than spending hours painstakingly digitally painting a portrait, I achieved my desired outcome within minutes using the capabilities of Leonardo.AI.
Utilizing Canva, a popular graphic design platform, I worked on a generic template for this event poster. While I still prefer creating bespoke designs through Adobe Illustrator, Canva provided a quick and dirty solution for creating the very generic look that I wanted. Canva can also be used for seamless collaboration with others. After all, zombies work best as a team.
