Looking for helpful AI tools to speed up your workflow and deliver projects faster? Here are the top 5 AI tools for graphic designers and how to use them:

Colormind

Colormind is an AI-powered color palette generator that can help you choose colors for your designs. It can generate palettes from scratch or based on a starting color. If you are working with a specific brand or style, you can also upload an image to get appropriate colors. This feature is especially helpful when working on projects that require adhering to a specific brand identity. Colormind is completely free to use and can easily be accessed by going to colormind.io.

Dream Studio

Dream Studio is an AI-powered app that turns vague text prompts into beautiful artwork. It uses the Stable Diffusion model, which has risen in popularity quickly in the past few weeks. Unlike OpenAI’s DALL-E, it offers a wide range of customization options, so you can fine-tune the results to suit your taste. And since it is open-source, it is unrestricted in terms of what it can generate. To access Dream Studio, you will need to sign up using your email and a password and confirm your email in your inbox. Dream Studio is a free tool.

Jasper.ai

Jasper.ai is an AI art generator that can create unique images and photos in seconds, based on user prompts. It offers high-resolution 2k images with royalty-free commercial use, no watermark, and unlimited generations. Jasper.ai has been highly praised by users who find it faster and easier to use than searching for stock images or creating images themselves. Jasper.ai also offers an AI writing tool that can generate content and improve writing.

Jasper.ai’s pricing starts at $24/month per user with a 5-day free trial, and custom plans are available for enterprises. Users can generate up to 200 images for free during the trial period. The generated images can be used commercially without any limitations, and users own the commercial copyrights. To use Jasper, go to jasper.ai and sign up using an email and card information.

Khroma

Khroma is an AI-based color combination generator that draws from your selection of colors and thousands of human-made color palettes across the internet. To generate a personalized list of color combinations, you must first choose 50 colors on the Khroma website. You can view them as gradient, palette, typography, and image. You can also discover and search for new combinations, as well as build your collection. In addition, you can upload your own custom image and test the colors on it.

Midjourney

Midjourney is a generative artificial intelligence program and service created and hosted by a San Francisco-based independent research lab Midjourney, Inc. Midjourney generates images from natural language descriptions, called "prompts". Midjourney is built on top of discord so you will need to create a discord account to run midjourney. Even though Midjourney’s cheapest plan comes with some limitations, unless you plan on using Midjourney very heavily, it’s very unlikely that you’ll exceed those limits. For everyone else, the cost of Midjourney will range between $30 and $60 per month and largely depends on the size of your business.
