EXPLORING OBJECTS OF A DESIGN APRIL 26

Hi all, this is a bit of a deeper dive into the process of what these exercise are about. why beyond IP ownership and authenticity why not default to using character names or actor’s name If you don’t care so much why then just enjoy the snaps!.

For those that want to know more when designing my own worlds and creations, I’m a harsh critic of myself and always striving for clarity. My biggest flaw is communication, but I’m working to improve my skills. To help me do this, I’ve set rules for myself when working with Midjourney, where I cannot use actor names, artist names, or intellectual properties. Instead, I must learn how to describe the details I envision with words alone.

Through my experiences, I’ve become familiar with the ideas of latent space and associative relativism. Essentially, this means that things that are near each other in certain spaces are more likely to be associated with each other. However, this can be complicated by the fact that synesthesia, which I experience, can create multiple immediate associations I feel are important about the resonance between details that to my peers are seemingly unrelated. For example, when seeing a cat looking out a window at something we can’t see, I get information from the window frame depending on its shape and color that informs right or wrong about what the cat is looking at.

When working with others, I’ve found that using the shorthand language of pop culture references can be an effective way of conveying ideas quickly. However, it is like a code language, and if not checked, it can serve to obfuscate an idea to the point of meaninglessness to the greater audience, especially since pop culture is constantly evolving. While those around me have helped me with this, I’ve found that relying solely on pop culture references can be limiting. Therefore, I’m striving to learn how to articulate my ideas more clearly and efficiently. The exercises in articulating art orders are teaching me to be a more effective art director and creative director. It’s not just about what I can draw, but how well I can inspire others to see my vision and how well I can articulate it to our fans and audience.

While I have a well-trained imagination, I still struggle with communication, especially when I cannot use my visual art crutches. To improve my communication skills, I must rely solely on words and cannot use any visual aids or intellectual properties. This challenge is teaching me to describe the details I envision more clearly and precisely, like the type of nose we need to draw, with words alone. While the process of improving my communication skills is ongoing, I hope that sharing my experiences can encourage others to think differently about their creative processes.

Here is my continued experimentation getting friendly with my new AI co-workers with today’s thought as visualized with the aid of Midjourney
