Playing with AI art - Who doesn't love a good bargain?

AI

Since last week's take on a restaurant front went so well, I'm getting happy on that homefront and going to try out a retail store with a focal item (the clothing rack) and see if we can gain any intrigue from this. Wish me luck, as in every week, things can and will go rogue, but that's all part of the fun :)

This is not a ballpark homerun the way that the last one was. It's really focused on the distortion of the wheels on the clothing rack and has completely transformed the clothes into what looks like crate paper.

I'm not sure if it's the urban feel in the verbiage that is making all the colours so drab. Not it just looks like we're stuck in the Apocalypse or some abandoned town. And what's with the distortion of the wheels? Let's infuse some colour....

Style - cartoon

The colour and graffiti seem to have livened somethings up, and we're getting a bit more definition with the actual clothes on the racks, but it's lost all integrity of what the actual elements in front of the store front are. Why does it feel like it needs to distort the item so much this time?

We have clothes, folks! Now I can see this on the streets of Brighton with those pops of colour. Less emphasis on the graffiti, but at least we are adding back some visual intrigue. I still have no idea why AI won't leave those wheels on the racks alone....

Overall I don't mind this one, but why are the streets so darn clean? And has this lost the flea market vibe? Note to self: choose source images without wheels...

Style - anime visual

Since we haven't given this style some love, decided to give it a go and it has completely ignored the pops of colour and added details that look like some sort of asian character writing on lanterns. Does it still fit the NYC city feel or are we more on a street in Japan? Or does that matter....

Style - Van Gogh

Til now, I've strayed away from VanGogh style, thinking that it would be too loopy and artsy, but it's actually more realistic than a lot of the other styles I've gone with. Perhaps we've overlooked him all this time...

Style - ID Photo

I will admit, I was really happy with the verbiage so I just wanted to play around with the styles, so I took a gamble on ID photo and it looks like it's our new cyberpunk style that will completely alter the entire image. Could we figure out a way to use this style to our advantage though in other instances?

Conclusion

I'm going to be honest, this was a more challenging one to work through. I had high hopes that it would be able to play around with the signs, background and foreground,but perhaps it was too focused on the main element (clothing rack) and moreover, the wheels (oddly) and just couldn't separate itself from it. Happy to take a break from storefronts next time and let's move into something that we can get more varied results from, stay tuned!
