Manual design vs. AI-generated visuals Best Practice

Manual design and AI-generated visuals offer distinct approaches to creating visual content, each with its unique set of advantages and challenges.

  • Manual design: Here, every element is handcrafted by a designer who applies their creativity, intuition, and years of experience. The process can be time-consuming but allows for deep customization and emotional resonance. Manually-generated designs are best suited for projects that require emotional nuance, brand-specific aesthetics, or intricate details.
  • AI-generated visuals: AI can quickly produce base designs or multiple variations, based on parameters or examples. It offers speed and scalability but may lack the nuanced understanding and emotional depth that a human designer provides. AI-generated visuals are ideal for situations demanding speed and multiple iterations. They are great for creating initial mockups, bulk content for A/B testing, or when you need several variations of an image for different platforms.
