WILL AI REPLACE DESIGNERS?

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been getting a lot of attention. It has been a subject of constant debate as to whether it is a boon or a bane. The debates are never-ending, from fears of AI replacing humans to a dystopian future where machines would take over.

AI has become an over-hyped buzzword across many industries, including the design world. But it is still mostly unknown, and figuring out exactly how it will work in the design world is pretty much like trying to figure out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Currently, there are ongoing conversations between designers and developers around the future impact of AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning… VR, AR, and MR (virtual, augmented, and mixed realities), and how our jobs may change. As AI is said to be “a machine that can act using human-style reasoning or perception”, it does sound intimidating. There’s also underlying anxiety about what that could imply for designers — that AI will be ideating, designing, and presenting creative work. Will AI really replace designers? While some think it may, we are of opinion that it will not replace designers but in turn, become a partner to them.

AI holds a lot of potential for the design world, but for this to happen the hype around it needs to be addressed. Designers need to clear their minds and think of AI as an efficient way to work. AI is mostly going to revolve around optimization and speed. Working with AI can help designers create designs faster and more cheaply because of the increased speed and efficiency it offers. The power of AI will lie in the speed at which it can analyze extensive amounts of data and suggest design adjustments. A designer can simply pick and approve adjustments based on that data. AI will be like a virtual assistant to the designers that will take care of the usual tasks while the designer gets to focus on ideas and creativity.

In terms of creativity, the human mind is unmatched. Designers don’t need to worry as AI will not replace us, at least not for the time being. Instead of being a threat to the design world, it will offer several exciting opportunities. The key to leveraging those design opportunities is for designers and AI to work together to make the most out of them. Technology in the past made us stronger and faster, but AI will make us smarter.

Ganesh Utsav through the eyes of Creador Designs

As we all know our Ganpati Bappa is a symbol of wisdom, prosperity, new beginnings, and good fortune, he is also known as the god of creativity. India celebrates Ganesh Festival to uphold its rich cultural tradition through various artistic forms. Our beloved Bappa is depicted through different art forms to represent that he is the god of creativity. As we at Creador Designs take pride in saying ‘Creativity is in our DNA’, we of course noticed creativity in various aspects of this festival celebration.

We believe that creativity has no boundaries and can be found everywhere. In our view, humans are all creative in their ways. And that creativity was evidently seen throughout this Ganesh Utsav. From the preparations of the Ganpati celebration until the end of the festival, creativity was abundant all around. Everyone worked effortlessly in preparing their homes for welcoming their dearest Bappa.

Considering the adverse impacts of Ganpati Visarjan on natural water sources, most of the citizens opted for self-made Ganpati idols this year. These idols were made using completely natural items, and of course, with love and care. Not only did this give them freedom of molding their favorite Bappa in their way, but it also gave them an opportunity to brush up on their creative skills. They sculpted their Ganpati idols with eco-friendly materials like river clay, red soil, paper mache, and even some common household materials like flour and turmeric! On the other hand, those without the time and skills chose this festival as an opportunity to support local artists by purchasing eco-friendly idols and showing their creativity by putting together beautiful decors.

This Ganesh Utsav, people were more inclined to customize decors on their own rather than purchasing expensive decors from the market. Instead of using items that might harm the environment in some or the other way, people made use of sustainable and natural materials. Many people used their DIY skills and made use of 100% organic materials like coconut shells, leaves, flowers, jute, and so on. Not only were all the decors beautiful, but also unique in their own ways. Each decor had its own unique significance, ranging from historical-themed decor depicting forts of India to spreading awareness about social issues.

Even though this Ganesh Utsav has concluded, we at Creador Designs believe that creativity must not be put on hold. We think that the more you make it a part of your daily life, the more it will grow. So, find opportunities and keep your creativity alive.

Why is Website Development the need of the hour?

In the quest to create your brand’s online presence, you must have thought about creating a website. But, have you ever wondered why the sudden trend of building an online office is gaining the wave? The answer is actually quite simple. With the surge in the number of online users, information sharing has become a matter of a few clicks. Consumer behaviour has observed a diverse change with the advent of the Internet. Furthermore, this is what brands need to leverage to expand their presence.

Websites not only elevate the credibility of your brand but also serve as the portal for major announcements. Without being lost in the long-winded scrolling social media platforms, you get to control the narrative on the website. Moreover, when you build upon your brand’s specific voice, it paves the way for organic traffic to flow in–which in turn, boosts your sales. Win-win, right?

The internet is full of websites of different kinds, so appealing to the eye that one can easily get lost on their surfing expedition. Often, the websites we explore influence the aspirations one might have for their own business. Developing a website is a crucial step to growing an enterprise, but it is also important to match these aspirations to the purpose the website serves for the business.

Hence, we understand that choosing the right kind of website when it comes to launching a business online can be difficult. While the basic structure may remain the same for most websites, fundamental differences may exist. Creador offers an exhaustive range as well, so let’s hop in and walk through some basic ones so that you can zero in on the one you wish to develop.

  • Portfolio Website: Portfolio websites, to put it simply, can be considered a creative professional’s Hall of Fame. As the name suggests, a portfolio website’s main purpose is to showcase a company or an individual’s work, qualifications and honours awarded.

    These websites are often used to demonstrate the credibility of the company or individual so that potential clients can go through this visual resume.
  • E-commerce Website: For most businesses, an e-commerce website is a saviour. E-commerce websites serve the purpose of an online retail store. These websites are the most popular ones as customers can easily look up the products and services offered by a company online. They can add the products they wish to purchase to the cart and pay for them through a payment gateway.

    A fun fact about E-commerce websites is that your business does not necessarily need to have a physical store to function! As long as it is a registered business, you will have loads of opportunities to explore!
  • Blogging Website:
    Quick question: How much do you think a blogger earns annually?

    The answer might blow your mind. According to Indeed, a blogger can make up to $37,073 per year. Though this estimation is made on average approximation and can vary a lot, it is still a significant sum for any freelancer or SME. Beware that if you are a beginner, this source of income will take time to unlock, but it is still profitable nonetheless, as it will generate a lot of traffic to your website.

    Blogs are used to impart information and tactics. A person’s first instinct to gain quick information is to look it up on the internet. Much like the one you are reading right now, they are also used to build credibility. Even if you do not opt for a blogging website, it is definitely suggested to include a blog section for any kind of website that you ultimately opt for.

These are just a few kinds of websites that you can choose from. Furthermore, you can also choose to create a hybrid website that clubs all these functionalities together to give your business an edge over its competitors and build trust in the minds of the customers.
