13th Lecture: Introduction to AI in Design (Theory)

 * What is Artificial Intelligence? (Simple explanation: "AI helps computers think and create like humans.")

*How AI is used in art and design today.
*Examples of AI tools in Adobe Illustrator:

• Generative Recolor
• Text to Vector Graphic
• Retype (font recognition)

14th Lecture : AI Tools in Illustrator

1. Generative Recolor

• Open a simple illustration (like a logo or icon set).
• Use Generative Recolor to change the color theme (e.g., “summer theme,” “neon colors,” “retro look”).
  
  
  

2. Text to Vector Graphic (Firefly-powered)

Shows how to type a short description (e.g., “cute cat icon in flat design”) → Illustrator generates editable vector shapes.

3. Retype (AI Font Finder)

Shows how Illustrator can identify fonts from images or screenshots.

4. Image Tracing with AI

Import a hand-drawn sketch → trace it into vector art with one click.
