Using AI Tools
Over the past year or so, it has become increasingly clear that AI tools will play a part in our future to a greater or lesser degree. As a freelancer designer, Peter has endeavoured to ensure that the efficiencies and opportunities offered by these tools (such as Midjourney, MagnificAI and similar) are applied to projects where appropriate. Keeping up to speed with AI developments has been a key part of personal project time and will remain so. You can see some AI experiments from Simcoemedia on the 360 images shop page and on YouTube.
