Top 5 AI tools to up your design game

Do graphic designing AI tools intimidate you?

Do they seem complex and difficult to learn? Are you confused about which tool to try first?

If yes, you’ve reached the right place because we have narrowed down this sea of graphic design resources to the Top 5 AI Tools you need to up your design game.

ADOBE FIREFLY

Ease of Learning: 4/5 | Quality: 3/5 | Customization: 4.5/5

Adobe Firefly has become a staple in our toolkit, especially for its intuitive interface. This generative AI toolkit uses an AI model that has been taught to identify connections between words and images and lets users create images by using text prompts. Firefly’s ‘ethical’ development (it does not infringe on copyrights) makes it one of the most appealing choices out there. 

If you still need more convincing, just have a look at this “computer-made monster” we created using Adobe Firefly’s text-to-image generator for a recent client and you will see for yourself why this AI tool made it to this list. The graphics are simply stunning!

You can explore Adobe's official tutorials and community forums for comprehensive insights into mastering Adobe Firefly.



DALL·E BY OPENAI

Ease of Learning: 4/5 | Quality: 4.5/5 | Customization: 4.5/5

DALL·E's innovative image generation capabilities have broadened our creative horizons and the steeper learning curve is definitely worth it! A possible drawback is that generated images can only be in one of three sizes in Dall-E 2: 256×256, 512×512, and 1024×1024 pixels but this is not a deal-breaker for most.

The text-to-image conversion is great, but the tool may struggle with more complex prompts. However, the ability to create surreal and intricate visuals provides DALL.E an edge over other tools. 


MICROSOFT BING IMAGE SEARCH

Ease of Learning: 4.8/5 | Quality: 3.5/5 | Customization: 4/5

Microsoft Bing Image Search stands out for its exceptional ease of use, accessible for designers of all levels (especially considering it is free to use). While customization options are somewhat limited compared to dedicated graphic design tools, we noticed that efficient search functionality makes it a quick and effective resource. However, even though the quality of the output is good it may vary from result to result.

It is certainly one of the best tools out there for beginners.


LOOKA

Ease of Learning:4.8/5 | Quality: 4/5 | Customization: 4.5/5

Looka uses AI to create a logo, full brand kit, and website for any company or organisation. It's quite simple to use: just type in your company name, select the area of business, and give it an idea of the style you want by selecting a colour scheme and your favourite logos from some examples. 

Based on this information, you can then select from dozens of ready-made logos generated by Looka and, if necessary, customize them using a variety of layouts, icons, colours, symbols, and fonts. When it comes to creating logos, there isn’t a better AI than this!

MIDJOURNEY

Ease of Learning: 4/5 | Quality: 5/5 | Customization: 5/5

“An underwater banquet where sharks are having a ball dance” or “A sky full of eyes and an alien baby looking up at it”. Midjourney is known for creating realistic and complex images based on the craziest of prompts!


One of the most famous AI tools for graphic designing, especially because of influencers like Tanmay Bhatt who often makes reels on it, Midjourney was one of the pioneers in AI designing and image generation.

Easy to learn and with an extensive database to draw from, there isn't any designer who hasn't yet used this tool. 

Midjourney definitely lives up to its name.


 

As we look back at the transformative journey designing has had with AI tools, we can only encourage fellow designers to explore this dynamic intersection of innovation and creativity. 

Each tool in this curated list offers a unique blend of user-friendly features, output quality, and customization options. Be it Firefly’s smooth interface, DALL.E’s intricate details, or Midjourney’s creative visualisation – all these AI tools invite designers to elevate their craft in the ever-evolving landscape of graphic design.


 AI has opened new doors for graphic designers and it's time we burst through them and let our creativity go crazy!
