This is Ian Reid, Founder and Creative Strategy Director at Reid Designs.
Ian has twenty-plus years experience in advertising, and before he founded his own company, he worked at one of the largest advertising agencies in the Caribbean creating designs and content for some of the biggest brands in the world.
In this episode we get into how to us AI generate images in Graphic Design.
We discuss:
→ Ian's AI tools of choice.
→ How he deals with his commercial clients when using AI.
→ Whether or not graphic designers should charge the same as photographers for AI generated subjects.
→ And the big mistakes ad agencies make when they are trying to use AI generated images in their client work.
Fair warning, this is a conversation between two Trinis so it gets really local, both in speech. and examples.
We mention a location in Trinidad and Tobago called the Bamboo Cathedral, a whole lot, which I eventually described badly in the podcast. So for my international listeners, you might want to look that up as well.
All in all, it's a great discussion and if you listen carefully, you'll get some great insight into how graphic designers are using AI generated images and how you can use them too.
