Re: AlphabetMagic. My first AI experiment
The result looks good. It's not overly modular, which gives it a hand-painted feel. The only letter that stands out is the lowercase L. Apart from cleaning the curves, you've increased the …1 -
Re: AlphabetMagic. My first AI experiment
Nice. Seeing the two side-by-side really exposes both the limitations of the AI output and also its usefulness as a kind of rough sketch stage. The texture of the iteratively revised design is so muc…3 -
