核心概念
Graphic designers benefit from CreativeConnect by efficiently discovering and recombining elements from reference images to enhance design ideation.
摘要
The study by DaEun Choi et al. introduces CreativeConnect, a system utilizing generative AI to support graphic designers in the ideation process by extracting keywords from reference images and generating diverse recombination options. The study highlights the importance of conceptual ideation in design and the challenges designers face in recombining references. CreativeConnect aims to facilitate element extraction, suggest relevant elements, generate diverse recombination options, and present outputs in an incomplete format to foster creativity. The system was evaluated through a user study comparing it to a baseline system without AI functionalities, showing that CreativeConnect significantly aids users in discovering elements and generating design ideas.
Abstract
- Graphic designers find inspiration through reference recombination.
- CreativeConnect utilizes generative AI to assist in discovering elements and generating diverse recombination options.
- The system aims to support conceptual ideation and address challenges in recombination.
- Evaluation through a user study demonstrates the effectiveness of CreativeConnect in enhancing design ideation.
Introduction
- References play a crucial role in creative thinking, offering visual and conceptual stimuli.
- Recombination of references is a common method to generate new ideas.
- Designers face challenges in extracting and recombining elements from references.
- CreativeConnect is introduced as a system to support designers in the ideation process.
Formative Study
- Early-stage designers focus on conceptual aspects during ideation.
- Four types of elements are extracted from references: subject matter, action & pose, theme & mood, and arrangement.
- Challenges include discovering and recombining elements effectively.
- Design goals for a reference recombination support system are proposed.
CreativeConnect
- The system supports designers in extracting elements and generating diverse recombination options.
- Technical details include keyword extraction and recombination generation pipelines.
- Evaluation of ML pipelines shows accurate keyword extraction and diverse recombination options.
Evaluation
- A user study with 16 participants compares CreativeConnect to a baseline system.
- Results show that CreativeConnect significantly aids users in discovering elements and generating design ideas.
- Expert evaluation of sketches confirms the creativity and diversity of ideas generated with CreativeConnect.
统计
Graphic designers often get inspiration through the recombination of references.
Our formative study (N=6) reveals that designers focus on conceptual keywords during this process.
User study (N=16) shows that CreativeConnect helps users discover keywords and generate multiple ideas based on them.
