Kevin Broome is a graphic designer and brand strategist in British Columbia who started playing around with AI image-generating technology as a way to process the experiences he had during a three-day ayahuasca journey. The images he started making felt deeply personal. But it was only after he started using a local historical forest manifesto as a prompt in the program Midjourney that Kevin understood the awesome potential of generative AI. On this week’s episode, host Peter Bittner talked with Kevin about the positive ways AI can impact the world of graphic design.
