The collection is organized into different categories.
While writing remains a great way to express your ideas, the ability to do so, in this visual format, is exciting. And ultimately, whether you use humor, exaggeration or more of an infographic format, you now have access to another tool to communicate. For satire and commentary, sometimes “a picture is worth a thousand words,” as the saying goes.
Software
NightCafe, Photoshop and other programs are used to create the works. NightCafe is an AI art generator. It enables you to take an idea and convert it into a graphic or animation. It’s not always a straightforward process and may take a number of iterations to arrive at the final image. This has been one of the more interesting, frustrating and fun aspects of using the software. As you work with the platform and the image you spec is off, you have to work out how to arrive at an accurate representation of your idea. You might have to change your description of the piece, which is subsequently used by the system to create a new work. Or you might have to generate a base image and then effect changes through other menu options.
You can also use the new graphic with Photoshop to produce a final image...or use multiple images to create a final composite piece in Photoshop.
If you create an animation, pixabay is a great resource for a range of media objects, including music, photos and sound effects. You can generally use the products for free, but there may be use restrictions. The artists and musicians should also be credited for their works.
