AI for Design

AI for Design means using AI tools to support research, ideation, visual exploration, prototyping, writing, and production.

In the UID 07 course, AI is not a replacement for the designer. It changes the workflow: the designer gives direction, evaluates output, and iterates.

Useful Roles

  • generate visual directions
  • create quick prototypes
  • explore alternative layouts
  • support content writing
  • manipulate images
  • summarize project material
  • test ideas faster

Designer Responsibility

The designer still needs taste, judgment, context, and the ability to decide what is useful.
