Luxe Modern One-Handle Faucet
How might we integrate AI into my current design process?
Brainstorm Strategy
Create faucets using different AI programs, exploring values, influences, and prompts—curate content to pull inspiration from and find means of AI implementation.
Takeaways
I used Vizcom and Midjourney to create images using terms like "Dyson, Waterslide, Modern, Luxe Mordern, Childs, Kids Slide, Tube Slide"
I found that Vizcom had more stylish imagery than Midjourney, but Midjourney was more creative and weird.
I found that some of the renders had a simple style to them that I liked.
Refinement
I selected this image from the generations. The presentation of this image appeals to me primarily because the faucet is slightly visible and the wall has a nice dark backsplash. The pop of color is fun, but wouldn't perform as well for brand purposes.
Main Inspiration
For my final project, I wanted to incorporate the black splash, grey sink, and view of the faucet.
The final design will not incorporate a yellow hue or bright yellow handle.
Form
Simplified Luxe Modern faucets for the sake of manufacturability and trend appeal
