THE INFLUENCE OF GENERATIVE TECHNOLOGIES ON CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND VISUAL DECISION-MAKING IN GRAPHIC DESIGN

Abstract

Generative graphics technologies should be seen as a group of different types of systems (not just one technology). Generally, the term "generative" has come to mean any system that uses some form of input (such as a picture) to generate additional forms of content (e.g., another picture).
