(SayWHAT Designs)
A Plai in the Life
When I was first informed that I would be using AI to help me author my first book of Grad Studio 2, I was not sure what to think. It all started with an interview with ChatGPT, where I gave it questions from Prof Grady and my own answers. From there, I conducted an interview where ChatGPT was giving me feedback and insights into who I am as a designer and the things that I like to make. None of this was much of a surprise to me.
Personally, I believe that my analog work felt the most like me. It was colorful and playful, unlike the generative imagery that was focused more on the fact that I have a messy desk as a designer. Which, guilty!
Feedback from these moodboards gave me the idea to think more of a “day in my life” and how I could use the interview process to guide my book.
After this, I hit the ground running on iterations. I built roughly 3 mock-ups, and each time learned something new about how I wanted to bind the book and the sort of information I wanted to include. Since I love vibrant colors, I knew that I wanted to include risographed pages in my book.
The final output of this book documents what it is like to go through a day in my life, starting with my morning routine and ending with when I finally get to go to sleep. Check out the entire book flipped through below by my friend, Patrick.
