As a designer based in London, I'm fortunate to be at the heart of a vibrant creative hub. I regularly immerse myself in global design events to absorb the latest trends, discover groundbreaking concepts, and ignite new ideas for my projects. My recent visit to the London Design Biennale at the iconic Somerset House was a particularly rich source of inspiration, showcasing the world's most innovative design thinking.
Among the many thought-provoking installations, the 'Memory Grid' pavilion by Oman stood out. It beautifully juxtaposed ancient heritage with modern digital concepts, highlighting the enduring human need to preserve what's precious. The translucent materials and strategic lighting created mesmerizing patterns and a sense of depth, transforming simple forms into a complex visual experience.
Starting with a concept, Gemini helped brainstorm initial directions and refine core ideas, drastically cutting down early-stage exploration. Transforming rough sketches into polished concepts in moments, Vizcom allowed for quick iterations and feedback loops.
Precision Modeling with Rhino3D: Once visual direction was set, Rhino3D enabled precise 3D modeling, building on the rapid ideation.
Color & Detail with Illustrator: Refining visual aesthetics and preparing gradients was made seamless.
Realistic Rendering with KeyShot, Bringing designs to life with photorealistic renders, capturing the desired light effects inspired by the original art piece.
Dynamic Presentation with Sora: Finally, Sora generated compelling video sequences, showcasing the product in dynamic ways for impactful presentations.
Traditional design processes can be time-consuming, repetitive, and limit iterative exploration.
Accelerating Design with AI
AI tools aren't replacing designers; they're accelerating every phase, freeing up creative energy for higher-value tasks.
