Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Explorations on Artificial Intelligence or AI for graphic design or artistic applications
On my way to find new techniques, I have been exploring the application and different possibilities of Artificial Intelligence for graphic design applications, content creation, text writing and story creation.
The versatility and speed of AI make it a tool to be taken into account in our day-to-day work as graphic designers or artists.
Thanks to Hugging Face and the free open source artificial intelligence code called Stable Diffusion, it's now easier than ever and all for free.
Explore below the multiple possibilities that artificial intelligence offers us to deal with lettering design, for artworks, book covers or even animation or video.

Artificial Intelligence or AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition and machine vision.
Why is AI so useful? The potential of Artificial Intelligence
Aside from other non-graphical fields, in the world of graphic design or art, AI is going to become an essential tool in our daily work tasks.
I don't think AI will replace designers, but I do think it will become a must-have in our workflows.
And you may ask, how can AI help me? Easy. In a lot of tasks, such as:
- Upscale a picture to higher resolutions.
- Create or extend the background of a picture. (outpainting)
- Forget about learning 3D. Train the AI to build faithful models of people, characters or objects. So you can easily generate photos or renders of those. Here you can see some letterings created with AI.
- Generate royalty-free textures, patterns or serveral graphic elements with the style, resolution or detail you need. Like this ones!
- Change the graphic or pictorial style of a photo or drawing and transform it into another one. See this example.
- Generate frame by frame animations with the style you want. Check here an example.
- Create narrations, stories, texts or sentences.
- Review and/or write code like HTML, CSS or JavaScript with ChatGPT.

What is Stable Diffusion (SD)?
Stable Diffusion is a deep learning, text-to-image model released in 2022. It is primarily used to generate detailed images conditioned on text descriptions, though it can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by a text prompt.
The Stable Diffusion model supports the ability to generate new images from scratch through the use of a text prompt describing elements to be included or omitted from the output.
How to Run Stable Diffusion online for free?
You don't need any overpowered gaming PC or any extra components. With a basic computer and an internet connection you can start using Stable Diffusion online through Google Colab.
All you need to do is to look for an online SD adaptation through a virtual machine borrowed from Google, called GOogle Colab. Clic HERE to find a list of them.
