Still one of the most complete explanations I have heard about mid journey and creating logos has come from your videos

As a professional logo designer I can tell you that those are not great logos, and it would be a disservice to a paying client to sell them something like that. From my experience those logos look like something a beginner designer would do. Don't mean to diss you, I think you have great content on your channel. I believe Midjourney and AI can be used greatly as a help tool for creative people.

I feel the same way. As a graphic designer, there is no way I could use a program like that and consciously sell it to my client. No different than Canva. I love working on a print piece and asking a client for their vector logo. Their response is always, “I don’t know. I did it on Canva and I don’t have it anymore. Don’t cut corners on your brand, trust an expert.

If we’re being honest, the majority of graphics designers are at a beginner level skill and they don’t do great work. Similarly, the majority of research assistants or data analysts don’t do great work in terms of what I consider a Maverick level of contribution to the creative or analyst process. Heck, the majority of people in all professions don’t stand out, that’s why people that stand out are massively successful by comparison. As I’ve personally experienced, GPT4 and similar AI does almost everything a non-Maverick will do. You guys likely fall into the Maverick category and are deeply engaged in your work, but don’t project that skill onto your peers when you review them. You stand out because the majority doesn’t.

I think Ai in graphic design needs to be used more as a tool rather than the design itself. Ai can save a ridiculous amount of time, and if your creative with how you use it you can create even better designs than you would on your own. For example, getting a bunch of extra mock up ideas that can give you some inspiration into the final design. You can also use Ai heavily in the design pitch and presentation.

Image trace just blew my mind for vectoring from photoshop. Thank you so much!

just an additional for everyone who wants to pursue the logo design business, not everything can be "image traced" in illustrator, it will only work 100% if the design is B&W just like the example in the video, but for other designs like the mascot logos you need adobe illustrator skills to turn them into vector logos in able to sell them or send them to your clients, the good thing about AI is that it helps you with the brainstorm process unlike before where you need to search the internet for some ideas. I've been doing freelance logo design for years and I thanked God that AI is now here, it lightens the work load but not 100%, you still need the skills to bring the designs to life in order to make money out of it.

@@peterfoxtrott8750 Generally it comes down to the concept, and how abstract the idea is as it relates to the business itself. It's pretty easy to spot an Ai generated logo vs a professional logo design if you know the company. These are reasonable options for startups, or people with $0. It significantly devalues the work that real designers like me do, though, because people like this are setting an expectation of "cheap is good, good is cheap". Graphic Design is a trade, and it takes practice and persistence to learn the craft. Ai should not be used in this way; it's extremely predatory to the industry and to clients that aren't aware that they're buying a logo that their competitor could just rip off with zero consequence.

when in illustrator i do image trace but my menu looks different it doesnt have threshold slider and it has ignore color not ignore white

re:illustrator - you can do exactly the same thing in inkscape for free with exactly the same quality. the procedure may be different but you just need to learn the program and there are plenty of tutorials on youtube on how to do it. i've been using inkscape and gimp for free professionally for many years and kicked adobe to the curb and never looked back. just learn the tools. excellent videos btw ;)

Just to interject, both are highly saturated on Etsy and the competition is very big.

Just wanted to mention this as I feel these videos can be super misleading. I'd honestly suggest getting into a different niche on Etsy that is less saturated than stickers. There are so many other options. I find this channel mentions only the most popular and saturated niches giving people sort of a false hope regarding what they will make monthly.

These videos have value in the sense they may give you some ideas from where to start but I guarantee you will not make those $34k just by selling AI content. Unfortunately it became a trend and these youtubers are abusing their titles to get more gullible people to click. I'm not saying you're not able to make money using AI, but all of these youtubers main revenue come from their channel, not from the things they're claiming to be masters of (since they probably just copied the idea from another channel).

Ai art can't really be copyrighted so you are probably walking on thin ice when building a business from this especially since you don't really change much of it. Besides that great video!

If a person use AI for suggested design or my own, is there a way to verify image, font, etc to prevent copyright problems?
