Selecting a proper color palette is critical in crafting high-quality graphic design to gain visibility and communicate ideas effectively. To facilitate this process, we propose De-Stijl, an intelligent interactive authoring tool assist novice designers harmonic palettes, achieving quick iterations, fulfilling constraints. Through contribute novel 2D concept that allows users intuitively perceive designs context with their proportions proximities. Further, De-Stijl implements holistic system...
Color design is essential in areas such as product, graphic, and fashion design. However, current tools like Photoshop, with their concrete-driven color manipulation approach, often stumble during early ideation, favoring polished end results over initial exploration. We introduced Mondrian a test-bed for abstraction-driven approach using interactive palettes image colorization. Through formative study six experts, we selected three options visual abstractions developed where humans work AI...
Motion graphic (MG) videos are effective and compelling for presenting complex concepts through animated visuals; colors important to convey desired emotions, maintain visual continuity, signal narrative transitions. However, current video color authoring workflows fragmented, lacking contextual previews, hindering rapid theme adjustments, not aligning with designers' progressive flows. To bridge this gap, we introduce Piet, the first tool tailored MG authoring. Piet features an interactive...
