Not a lot of interesting stuff here when you work back from the finished product. What about Headlines from Matthew Skiles? I think that was a hard AI for the AI (app icon for the artificial intelligence).
Let’s go back to pulling random icons from solid app icon designers I’m familiar with, starting with Weather Line from Louie Mantia Funny how the AI took the arrow indicating direction and movement in the original design and turned it into an “A” in some cases. What if we go with something a bit more complex from Apple’s repertoire, like Maps. Complete rip-offs obviously, but in theory some shippable-quality in there. In a similar vein, how about Apple’s Weather icon? Perhaps Michael’s variations are higher quality because the AI model has lots of game graphics in its model, whereas artwork similar to Tweetbot is less common? That’s a totally uninformed shot in the dark.Īnyhow, this gets me thinking I should try something more simplistic. Lol, given a hand-crafted icon from a venerable designer, that’s more what I’m expecting from an AI art generation tool. Interesting…let’s try another one: a Mark Jardine classic, Tweetbot (6). While some aren’t entirely as visually intelligible as the original, they weren’t goofy (which I expected). I’m actually quite surprised by the results here. To start, I figure I’ll go with one of Michael’s apps: Conduct This. I came across Michael Flarup’s quip about using AI art generators for app icon work and it made me want to try generating a few variations.įor this experiment, I’m pulling icons from my iOS icon gallery and using Dall-E to upload the original icon and generate variations.
With all the hubbub around AI art lately, I’ve been thinking about how it relates to the design and creation of iOS app icons.
