Supporting Reference Recombination for Graphic Design Ideation with Generative AI

Alapfogalmak

CreativeConnect proposes a system with generative AI pipelines to support graphic designers in discovering elements from reference images and generating diverse recombination options. The approach aims to enhance the ideation process by facilitating the extraction of keywords and providing recommendations for creative exploration.

Kivonat

CreativeConnect introduces a system that assists graphic designers in the reference recombination process, focusing on conceptual ideation. The system helps users extract elements from reference images, recommends relevant keywords, generates diverse recombination options, and presents them as sketches and descriptions. Through a user study, CreativeConnect was found to improve the quantity and quality of design ideas compared to a baseline system without generative pipelines.
The content discusses the importance of references in creative thinking, particularly in graphic design ideation. It highlights the challenges faced by designers in extracting elements from references and combining them effectively. CreativeConnect addresses these challenges by offering support for keyword extraction, recommendation, and recombination through generative AI pipelines.
Key points include:

Graphic designers rely on reference recombination for inspiration.
Extracting elements from references requires effort and exploration.
CreativeConnect facilitates keyword extraction and diverse recombination options.
User study shows improved creativity with CreativeConnect compared to baseline.
Technical details of keyword extraction and recombination generation pipelines are provided.

Statisztikák

Our pipeline achieved 94.2% precision and 58.2% recall in subject matter keyword extraction.
Keyword recommendations had a similarity score of 0.696 with original keywords.
Description generation pipeline showed diversity score of 0.395 for generated descriptions.

Mélyebb kérdések

How can CreativeConnect be adapted to support other design tasks beyond graphic design?

CreativeConnect can be adapted to support various design tasks by customizing the keyword extraction and recombination generation pipelines to fit the specific requirements of different design domains. For example:

Interior Design: The system could extract keywords related to furniture, color schemes, and spatial arrangements from reference images of interior spaces. It could then generate recombination options for room layouts, decor elements, and lighting designs.
Fashion Design: CreativeConnect could extract keywords such as fabric textures, garment styles, and fashion trends from clothing references. It could provide diverse recombination options for outfit combinations, accessory pairings, and runway looks.
Product Design: By extracting keywords like materials, shapes, and functionalities from product references, the system could offer recombination ideas for innovative product concepts, user interfaces, and packaging designs.

What potential limitations or biases could arise from relying on AI-generated recommendations for creative work?

Limited Creativity: AI-generated recommendations may follow patterns based on existing data sets or models, potentially limiting the range of creative solutions generated.
Biased Recommendations: If the training data used by AI models is biased towards certain styles or trends in design, it may influence the recommendations provided by CreativeConnect.
Overreliance on AI Suggestions: Designers might become overly dependent on AI suggestions rather than exploring their own creativity or unique ideas.

How might the concept of incomplete output influence user creativity in other design processes?

Encouraging Imagination: Incomplete outputs leave room for interpretation and imagination on the part of users which can stimulate creative thinking and encourage them to fill in gaps with their own ideas.
Promoting Iterative Thinking: Users may iterate on incomplete outputs multiple times to refine their ideas further or explore alternative directions creatively.
Reducing Fixation : Incomplete outputs prevent users from fixating too early on a single idea or detail during ideation stages allowing them to explore a wider range of possibilities before finalizing a concept.
