Banner proposal (AI made, more in the comments) (lemmy.world)

I'm obviously late for the banner contest but I still think this awesome community also deserves an awesome banner 😁

This is the first time I use Midjourney AI and I'm myself very impressed with the results. I have a paid membership so there should be no issues regarding licensing.

Here's my prompt:

~~Design a captivating 1280x400 banner for an Android community that showcases the vibrant colors of the Google logo in a tile-based background. In the center of the banner, position the official green Android mascot, surrounded by adorable and playful lemmings. Ensure that the overall design promotes a sense of community, excitement, and inclusiveness, inviting Android enthusiasts to join and engage in the community's activities. Let your creativity flow to deliver an eye-catching and memorable visual representation of the Android community's spirit.~~

(yeah it just ignored the lemmings and the tile thing, basically most of the prompt 🙃 but the result is still cute)

I can try to have it zoom out even further if necessary.

EDIT:

latest edit using GIMP to the version with the kawaii trees:

Well, the submission is a bit late... but I am pretty bored of the current banner, so if everyone's OK with it then we'll keep running it here until we figure something out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Update: we are doing it. Contest will now be run until we're all (mostly) happy with a new banner design.

If you don't like the current submissions, feel free to submit your own for a vote. As usual, AI image generators are allowed (we are a tech forum after all), although my personal preference is to have something more... composed. cough ControlNet cough

Very cute I like it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks quite cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm trying with better aspect ratios right now

proposal #1:

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

so far nothing odd stands out on this one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

proposal #4:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For proposal #4 it decided that the trees needed tiddies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

damn can't unsee that now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, please fix it, don't want realistic tanuki trees right on the banner... here at least. :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried many times and it just won't remove them, guess we have to disqualify this one 😔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I guess they really overtrained on the worldpolitics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Operation tiddy removal is a success (also added the missing eye):

Played around with manual edits using GIMP.

(EDIT: just put a slightly better version)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

trees are cute but one of them is missing an eye

proposal #2:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

the android on the left with the red = sign is also weird

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

proposal #3:

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I personally find that red android on the left weird 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That could represent the non-standard Androids, like Huawei. :p

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's an Android made from raw beef!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Super meat boy!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Wow it's your first time using Midjourney? That's pretty good!

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

AI "art" is not art.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Never pretended that to be the case, but IMO still better than using the current stretched image (possibly without proper authorization) from: https://technext24.com/2021/04/22/the-new-android-12-app-animations-is-beautiful-but-may-drain-batteries-faster/. This is simply a case where something objectively good is better than nothing at all. There was a contest and no one proposed a banner.

Instead of turning this into "AI bad" attacks, it would be preferable if you showed us your real art by proposing a beautiful banner for this community :-)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, AI can really help with covering gaps. I dig the banner. If something better comes up, then cool, it can be replaced. Until then tho 😜

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, good to see you here Hariette. Hope Artemis is coming along well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty darn good! In a few days making the beta public. For those who want to test new /kbin API on artemis.camp instance 🚀😀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have been counting days to get into the public beta

"Photography" art is not art.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh for Pete's sakes. Art is art.
