AI and the New Age of Artistic Creation

While the era of generative AI has got some people worried, especially in the creative spaces, others are seeing new opportunities arise from it.

Meg Ball, Graphic Designer at MTB Creative, has embraced generative AI tools and now uses them as a key part of her design process. In this episode of Built Right, we hear how she first became interested in gen AI and began to use Midjourney after learning about it via Discord communities.

Meg shares her thoughts on the art of prompting and experimenting with different features on Midjourney, plus how AI has changed her creative process entirely. She takes us through her process with an in-depth demonstration of creating new material in Midjourney (which you can see on YouTube).
