Generating Art using AI
There are several AI tools on the market for creating videos, art and content. As part of a project I am working on (website) I wanted to find illustrations and vectors of teenagers (Generation Z, namely) working. There is the option of purchasing vectors or illustrations using
iStock (and others) but I could not find anything that really matched what I am looking for and I could hire a designer using
Fiverr (or others), designers I know (but that can be expensive) which I am not quite ready to do. One reason is cost, but the core reason is that I was not sure what I wanted and finding a designer that you trust is challenging.
Jasper AI for Art
I have a license to Jasper AI and have used it to draft content, edit and sometimes to just see what Jasper would come up with and compare it to my original content. I essentially treat Jasper AI as a writing assistant.
I noticed that Jasper AI has a new feature in beta, Art, to create art, so I thought I’d try it and see how it works out.
My Experience
First I tried the prompts (several) under Free Form. I typed in what I wanted and Jasper, if you’d like, will make modifications to your prompt. Which is interesting and if you are willing you should see what Jasper comes up with.
(Still have not figured out how to add images to the blog, ugh 🤦♀️ 😩 😣 )
Would I recommend Jasper AI for Art? I think it's based on your use case and what you're trying to achieve. I enjoy playing around with the tools and then sharing my experience. I do think it's good to flush out your thoughts and ideas for what you want to present to a designer.
Currently, I pay 59.00 a month for Jasper AI, and I am not entirely sure that I use it enough to justify the cost. But, I'm not ready to give it up yet. I use it to build draft content, I've even used it to test my writing for work to see if I can improve my wording choice. To date, I use it to assist, but overall I still prefer my own raw content.
But, it is all about the prompts for both writing and art.
Adding Art was free for five days (so I am trying it) but it will be an additional 20.00 per month. We'll see, but it's likely I will cancel if I remember.
Visual Content
For writers and content producers of any kind design is a key component of elevating messages—from the website, blogs, social media, etc ... so having an AI tool to help supplement design (for non-designers) is a huge win. Most of the time content creators know the essence of what they want, they just don't have the skills to design.
For now, I'd say I am not going to add Jasper AI's Art feature for $20.00 a month.
