COLE: A Hierarchical Generation Framework for Multi-Layered and Editable Graphic Design

Grunnleggende konsepter

COLE system simplifies graphic design generation through hierarchical task decomposition.

Sammendrag

The COLE system by Microsoft Research Asia and Peking University introduces a hierarchical generation framework for multi-layered and editable graphic design. The system addresses challenges in generating high-quality designs from vague intentions, supporting flexible editing based on user input. It breaks down the complex task into specialized models working collaboratively to produce cohesive final outputs. The system comprises fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs), Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), and Diffusion Models (DMs) tailored for various design tasks.

• Abstract: Graphic design evolution, role in advertising, demands of high-quality designs.
• Introduction: Advancements in natural image generation, redirection towards professional image generation.
• Our Approach: COLE framework overview, Design LLM, Text-to-Background & Text-to-Object models, Typography LMM, Multi-Layered SVG Editor & Renderer.
• Experiment: Assessment on DESIGNERINTENTION benchmark, comparison with state-of-the-art systems, ablation experiments.
• Conclusion: COLE's efficiency in graphic design generation through hierarchical task decomposition.

In 1843, Henry Cole introduced the world’s first commercial Christmas card [36].
Our COLE system outperforms DALL·E3 in text fidelity and message conveyance among both non-designers and designers.

How can the COLE system be further improved to address limitations in typography selection?

COLE could enhance its typography selection by incorporating a more diverse range of font styles, sizes, and colors into its prediction models. This could involve expanding the dataset used for training to include a wider variety of typographic elements. Additionally, implementing a mechanism for user feedback on typography choices could help refine the model's predictions over time. Furthermore, integrating advanced algorithms for analyzing design trends and user preferences in typography could improve the system's ability to generate visually appealing text elements.

What are the implications of using GPT-4V(ision) for evaluating graphic design quality compared to human assessment?

Using GPT-4V(ision) for evaluating graphic design quality offers several advantages over human assessment. Firstly, it provides an automated and consistent method of evaluation that eliminates potential biases introduced by human judgment. Secondly, GPT-4V(ision) can process large volumes of data quickly and efficiently, making it suitable for assessing numerous design variations rapidly. However, there are limitations as well - while GPT-4V(ision) can evaluate certain aspects like layout and image quality effectively, it may struggle with subjective elements such as creativity or emotional impact that humans can assess better.

How can the hierarchical approach of the COLE system be applied to other creative fields beyond graphic design?

The hierarchical approach utilized in COLE can be adapted to various other creative fields such as interior design, fashion design, video production, or even music composition. In interior design applications, different layers could represent furniture placement options or color schemes within a room layout plan. For fashion design tasks, layers might correspond to fabric choices or garment silhouettes that need coordination. In video production scenarios,
the hierarchy could organize scenes based on visual elements like lighting setups or camera angles.
For music composition projects,
layers might represent different musical tracks or instrument arrangements within a song structure.
By tailoring each layer generation model
to suit specific requirements
of these creative domains,
the hierarchical framework
can streamline complex creation processes
and enhance output reliability across various industries.
