Best 6 Ai Tools For Designers

A I is not going to put designers out of a job , but it is going to give us new tools and new ways of creating our work as designers .

So while you might be interested in learning tools like Sigma or Webflow or Photoshop right now , I want to share with you some of the new tools that you as a designer do need to master if you want to stay at the cutting edge , producing the best design work possible and in the most efficient way .

So in this video , I'll share six tools that I think that you need to pay attention to and start getting into the habit of practicing and learning .

Let's dive right into it .

The first tool that you probably heard of is called Dali and this is one of the most famous was the original kind of A I image generator .

So basically this tool does two things .

Number one , it generates images based on prompts .

So something like 3d render of acute tropical fish in an aquarium uh on a blue background , digital art and it creates these really nice images .

So this is number one and it's really uh amazing capability and it will require designers to start learning how to craft these prompts .

I'm gonna show you a tool in a second or a website that's going to help you understand the type of prompts that you can start learning .

Because the way to get great images using Dali is to really hone down on how to write good prompts , right ?

Uh Searching from stock photo sites also requires kind of like understanding how to search stock photo sites .

But understanding how to create images with uh A I is another skill that we will need to develop as designers .

So this is the first ability uh with that .

And the second thing is you can actually upload an image here and then what you can do is they call it in paint .

You can just change some of these things in the image image that you might have taken or art that you already have using A I .

Let me show you some of the things that I have used this for .

So some of the things are just basically like stock photos that I needed for projects .

And I just couldn't find that specific image .

For example , a photo of French artist holding a clapboard medium shot , I just couldn't find this specific photo in stock image uh websites .

So I went ahead and generated it for a pro uh for , you know , for a project .

Uh Another use case is , you know , my friend has a bar and he needed some paintings for the bar .

So we went ahead and generated a bunch of art for him .

Um So these are , as you can see , these are some really nice images .

And the way that Dolly is working is you write a prompt , you will get probably 4 to 6 images in return and then you can go ahead and develop them or edit them .

So this is how you work with this tool .

Uh Another experiment that I did here with this in painting is I took an an original image of my son and then I wrote on top of my own fuji uh just to get , you know , the background changed and him replaced .

This is not amazing .

And you can see here that it's , it's still not amazing .

But this is still going to be another kind of capability that we can do edit our own photos um and assets for project .

So this is the first tool .

Again , we will need to learn how to craft good prompts for this .

And one website that is really helpful for this is called Lexa .

It's basically kind of a search engine for images that were already created using A I .

It's actually using stable diffusion , which is another uh algorithm , not , not the open A I uh Dally algorithm , but basically you can see here a lot of beautiful images .

And when you click on the image , you can see the prompt that were used here .

So for of a gorgeous young woman and the style of Stefan Kosi realistic .

So you can understand or you can explore this style of images where you understand that you can take this kind of a prompt from here and then you can adjust it to your own needs .

But basically , you can learn from this website how to write good prompts so that you'll be able to create images in the style that you want .

So this was the first tool and Lexa is a is a I think good resources for designers to learn how to create uh good prompts .

Now , another image generator that I think has a a different twist on it , but it is really going to be super useful is this one , it's called Austria .

So basically what we have here while in Dali , we just basically generated random images based on A I .

Here , we can literally train the A I on a specific object and then start creating images using that .

So for example , here you can upload an image of a car and then you can start generating really cool product charts , you know , for your website or for your ecommerce site or what what not .

And this can be really , really amazing for designers .

Sometimes we get kind of like crappy photos from our clients and now we can just use them to train the A I and then turn them into amazing photos .

We don't have to go and do crazy photo shoots or hire uh amazing artists .

We can just use our imagination to place them and showcase the products uh where we want .

So for example , here they were training it on a hat and then you can see how they created new more stylistic images of this hat .

Um Another one with a car so you can see you can really do really amazing things with it .

The last thing is that you can train it with photos of people , so you can upload a bunch of photos of people and then you can create really a or stylized portraits of them .

This has become really popular .

There's actually multiple tools right now creating kind of like avatars for people .

Let me show you .

I've tried to do this with my images .

I don't think that it turned out amazing .

But you can see here , I've uploaded these images to kind of train the algorithm .

And then basically , so this one is , you know , me as a samurai portrait and you can literally see the prompt here .

It's a fairly detailed prompt , the the one that we have here .

And by the way , they also are the ones who were , you know , sending me to Lexa to learn how to write good prompt .

Um But you can see here that basically they gave me for each prompt , they gave me multiple uh multiple options for it .

I don't know that it looks like me .

But again , this is uh I've seen that people , I think maybe I didn't upload enough images or images of different angles because I've seen that for other people , the similarity to the person was much higher than I think .

Maybe I'm just sensitive to myself .

And I'm like , hey , this doesn't look like me at all , but you can definitely see what you can do here with this , with this tool by creating new images based on training the algorithm and it can be again for a person or it can be for um other objects or products for our clients .

The next tool that I think is gonna be super useful and designers will be using it as well .

It's called Jasper .

It's actually one of the biggest um biggest A I start ups today .

It raised like 100 and 50 million .

It's like already like a unicorn worth a billion .

And basically this is uh uh a writing , writing A I tool .

Now , why writing is important for designers ?

Well , a lot of times we're designing websites or , or marketing material uh for our clients and we don't have the text yet and I know a lot of designers are struggling with writing the text .

So what we have here is they have basically frameworks for everything from everything from website sections um to Facebook ads to blog posts , they can literally do this for you .

And it's really , really interesting , they have templates for really framework .

So for example , one of the classic frameworks in selling and you'll see this a lot in social media as well .

It's called a ID A which is basically attention interest , desire action .

They have a lot more kind of like templates here .

But let me show you how this looks like .

So basically you enter a prompt here .

So I'm explaining them here about a product .

So let's say webflow masterclass , which is our course for webflow .

I'm explaining to them what it does , right ?

It's an online course , teaching people how to use webflow to build websites along with the community and expert coaching .

So this is like product description , tone of voice friendly and basically it's going to go ahead and output really like this .

We can literally use this as a marketing tool , right ?

Like here's the attention .

Do you wanna learn how to build websites ?

Webflow is the best way to do it ?

It's easy to do and you can make any kind of website you want .

Plus our expert coaches are always available to help with webflow .

You can finally create the website of your dreams without having to learn how to code and design .

So we literally understand what webflow is even though I didn't explain what webflow is , right ?

Uh the perfect platform for anybody who wants to take their web development skills to the next level .

This is literally not very far from our own marketing and this was created like instantly while we , you know , work on it for a lot of time and pay copywriters and stuff like that .

So this will allow you if you're a designer and you want to , you know , do full service for your clients , this is going to really allow you to step up your deliverables uh for your clients and really uh do amazing work for them .

So this is something that you definitely need to check out by , by the way , even for your own website or for your own portfolio , for your own social media , this can be really , really helpful .

All right , the next one is called Luma A I .

This is really interesting here .

This is basically an iphone app where you can literally take a bunch of photos and A I is going to turn this into a 3D object and a 3D uh scene here .

So this is really really uh useful for us .

If you again , if you're working with a client who has a product , you just take a bunch of photos , you turn this into a 3d object that then you can place you can use as a 3D render on your website in your assets .

Um And this , this really creates , you can see here stuff that was created a lot more accessible for people um is going to bring in help , I think bring in a lot more 3D into the web .

So I think this is really really an interesting tool .

Uh It's kind of like in beta , so I don't have access to this , but it looks really , really promising .

And uh I will definitely want to play with this when this is available .

Next tool that I wanna show you is this one , it's called Runway ML .

And this is basically , I think what they're trying to do , they're kind of trying to be like fig A for video editing .

So this is uh in browser um video editing tool .

But besides just being like uh a very cool video editing tool , it has a lot of A I capabilities in it .

So you can select objects , you can replace or remove objects from your video , you can replace the background .

They have a lot of the same uh the same functionalities that we saw in DALI for just static images , they're bringing it into video , which is really , really powerful .

Um So this is something that's definitely going to change the way video editors work and going to make it um a lot more accessible for , for people like us who don't have a lot of , you know , advanced video um editing capabilities .

The last website that I want to show you is this one , it's called durable .

It's actually pretty crappy , but I will explain why it is useful .

So this basically this promise to build a website in 30 seconds using A I .

And let me show you how to get started basically .

Um , well , they're , they're telling me they think I'm in Ashland , which is a city in Israel .

Doesn't matter .

Uh , not , not very far so here .

Um , they're telling me what business are you in ?

Right .

Lawn care .

Let's , let's just say I'm a web designer , right ?

So let me say that my business is a web designer .

So the next thing they're going to do is they're going to use A I to generate catchy business names for me .

So let's see what comes out here .

OK .

So maybe my business is gonna be pixel palooza web design or the web design widget or web design that works .

Of course , I can keep doing it .

But I like pixel palooza web design .

If I start my agency , I'm gonna probably call it pixel palooza .

Now it's literally in 30 seconds , generating all the sections to the website , right ?

Creating testimonials , adding some services .

It literally doing the research about what a web designer , website or whatever the business category is .

Understand the structure that this type of website needs .

Write the copy , pulls imagery from un splash and bam means 30 seconds .

My website is ready .

So let's see it .

Pixel palooza web design , web designer business in Ashdod .

Uh I created pixel palooza web design to help small businesses in Ashdod get online and look great .

I offer affordable web design and maintenance , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah .

Here's my work .

Here's uh here's a testimonial of uh somebody working with pixel palooza .

Here's my services , graphic design , web design , user experience design , get in touch about us .

So why I said it's pretty crappy .

Obviously , we're web designers and we're doing custom work for clients .

Of course , this is crappy template that's not going to , we're not actually going to use this .

It doesn't look really good .

However , I know that so many designers are stuck getting started on a project looking at a blank screen and this is really a great way in 30 seconds , just put something out there .

You're not sure about the structure here .

Here are the like the the structure here is actually pretty solid , right ?

Like a hero section , portfolio , testimonial services , uh contact form , like the structure is actually solid .

The design , we can change it , right ?

So this can be a really great kind of like inspiration .

I wouldn't use it as is , although you can change the style here and then you know , pay them to , to publish it .

But I would use this as an inspiration for structure and then go to fig a or what whatever my design tool is to just do a proper design .

But at least I'm not stuck .

At least I have the second I have some text and I know you know how to move forward .

So this is a great kind of like Kickstarter for web designers who don't wanna get stuck in front of the blank canvas .

Well , I hope you learned and found some new tools today .

Check them out .

The links of the tools are gonna be in the description below and I'll see you on the next video .

Peace out .
