Final exam: AI for graphic designers

Read in

1. A designer uploads a client's unreleased product photos to a free image tool to create variations. What is the main concern?
Confidential client material was shared without approvalThe variations will always be poor quality compared with the originalsThe client may later prefer black and white versionsThe photos may be too large for the free tool to accept
2. A generated poster concept contains street signs with garbled letters. What should you do?
Print it as is, since the garbled letters read as artistic textureBlur the whole image so the letters cannot be read at allAsk the client to ignore the signs because they are only in the backgroundTreat it as a sketch and rebuild text with real type
3. A client asks for a logo in the style of a famous living illustrator. What is the best response?
Mimic the style closely, since a style by itself cannot be ownedAsk the AI tool to hide which illustrator the style came fromDecline copying and offer an original direction with a similar moodTrace one of the illustrator's works and change a few details
4. Which brief-related use of AI is strongest?
Skip the written brief and let the AI generate mood boards for the first meetingAsk it to guess what the client wants from a one-line request and start designingAsk it to approve the budget and timeline so you can start work soonerHave it draft clarifying questions that you send to the client and then confirm in writing
5. Why do you check the license terms of an image tool?
Because the terms set the price of ink and paper for printingBecause they decide how you can use outputs for clientsBecause the terms never change, so one read is enough foreverBecause the terms determine which printer your files must go to
6. A client wants a fake photo of a real celebrity endorsing their product. What do you do?
Decline, because it misleads and misuses a real person's likenessUse a lookalike generated face, so no real person is shownCreate it with a small disclaimer saying the photo is illustrativeCreate it carefully, since the image is only used for marketing
7. Which design skill is most likely to grow in value?
Copying popular templates and swapping the logosBuilding a brand system and explaining why it worksMaking generic social graphics quickly from a stock templateRemoving backgrounds by hand, one image at a time
8. What does a printer-ready handoff checklist help prevent?
Client feedback arriving after the files have been sent outProblems like missing bleed, wrong color mode and low resolutionLong meetings about print details with the client and the printerCreative ideas that are too bold for the printer to reproduce
