Felix Adunya & Chelsea Eva Otieno: Synergy. 2024
As creatives, we embraced the poster design challenge to explore AI's potential while emphasizing the irreplaceable role of human creativity. This project explores Ai Media Innovations, Applications, Visual Culture, Challenges, and Future Trends, highlighting the connection between Ai and human creativity.
Our journey began with brainstorming and sketching ideas that merged human and AI figures, with a focus on African representation. We selected a design that embodies their collaboration, placing faces at the center of the poster to emphasize their essential roles. The final image was crafted by refining 16 prompts on Ai sites: Open Art & Ideogram then enhanced in Photoshop. We focused on details, colors, and typography to create a vision where tradition and technology blend seamlessly.
Titled "Synergy", the design envisions a future where Al amplifies human potential, showcasing creativity, innovation, and cultural richness. Synergy represents a common vision; a guiding model that echoes in the path of human progress.
Prompt:
Create an image that envisions the future, highlighting the deep connection between humans and artificial intelligence, interwoven with the rich cultural heritage of Africa. At the heart of the artwork, place a human figure in harmony with an Ai entity-a fusion of futuristic technology and African-inspired symbolism. The background should seamlessly blend traditional cityscapes with futuristic digital environments, symbolizing the coexistence of tradition and technology. The human and Ai figures should share a moment of profound connection.
Incorporate a color palette of earthy tones, vibrant reds, deep blues, and shimmering gold to enhance both the African color palette and technological marvel. The artwork should evoke wonder and awe, celebrating the unique synergy between humanity and technology.
