Why bother drip-feeding visual research on Instagram? It’s just unpaid labor for tech Broligarchs, rewarding you with synthetic dopamine hits and worthless virtual trophies. The real work gets buried under a sludge of duckface selfies and skewed algorithms, while the platform owners rake in ad revenue. The time I save by opting out of this supermarket internet goes to something real—my family.
This design research project explores the potential of generative image creation using AI by focusing on art direction shaped by personal aesthetic references. It examines how AI can support the creation of visual compositions for character design and development. The series also explores type, Kanji and logo development within the context of character creation. While progress has been made, there are areas that require refinement.
This series does not rely on any –srefs codes and is developed from scratch using a personal adaptive prompt framework and process. It uses my personalized code on Midjourney 6.1.
