AI

Term from Graphic Design industry explained for recruiters

AI (Artificial Intelligence) in graphic design refers to computer tools that can help create or edit images and artwork automatically. These tools can generate images from text descriptions, modify existing images, or help with routine design tasks. Popular examples include Midjourney, DALL-E, and Adobe's AI features in Photoshop. Think of it as a smart assistant that can help designers work faster and explore new creative possibilities. When you see AI mentioned in a graphic designer's resume, it usually means they know how to use these modern AI-powered design tools alongside traditional design software.
