Have a great 2018 and get some inspiration from this Algorithm-Driven Design collection.

Algorithm-Driven Design — How AI is Changing Design by Yury Vetrov Will Robots Replace Designers? No. It's more like an exoskeleton for designers. Algorithm-driven design tools can help us to construct a UI, prepare assets and content, and personalize the user experience.

Amazing color psychology branding experiment!
..

Companies spend millions to earn a tiny space in our heads that would help instantly recognize their brand logos. But how well do you think that money is actually spent? To find out a custom signage firm Signs.com has conducted a fascinating experiment, asking 156 Americans between the ages of 20 and 70, to draw 10 famous logos as accurately as possible. The only trick was, that they have to do it without any visual aids, simply from their memory.
The results are waiting for you below, and be ready to be at least a little bit surprised at how the image of these logos vary from person to person. Yet despite the differences, most participants did manage to get the color palettes right, which shows the importance of the right color combo for a memorable logo.
A fact also pinpointed by Karen Haller, a leading authority on color psychology, who had this to say while talking about using color in branding: “People have an emotional connection with color first. Then we take in the shapes, the logo, and we read the words,” says Haller. “If we sense a mismatch, it’s the color we don’t believe, despite the beautifully crafted words.”

: : DATA THAT SURROUNDS US AND ITS INFINITY : :

For few years I was fascinated by the collaborative religious ritual of mandala building, the visual beauty of mandalas and the amount of digital data that we produce everyday. In my free time I have been researching these topics andthey evolved into a side project IndalaApp - a software, that visualizes public Instagram photos in the shape of a unique mandala. If you are interested to know more, I wrote a Medium article about it. Feel free to give me feedback and share with relevant friends. Thanks a lot!

Designers at IDEO wanted to bring artificial intelligence to the world of fonts, so they created Font Map, a quick experiment to see how machine learning can address challenges in design.

Font selection is one of the most common visual choices designers make—and most fall back on old favorites, or search for a font within categories. By leveraging AI and convolutional neural networks to draw higher-vision pattern recognition, we have created a tool that helps designers understand and see relationships across more than 750 web fonts.

We hope this experience will inspire fellow designers to experiment with machine learning and AI, and use these new capabilities in ways that are insightful, inspiring, and valuable.

Check it out.
