Anyone got any hot tips for doing AI art for pedals?
I suck at graphic design. Bing created this image for me which I think would be cool for a real pedal, but like, I just want the 2D swirling pattern so I can do my own layout!

Please don't.

I have created dozens of basic graphics that anyone is welcome to use:

Midjourney just revised their program for more accurate text generation (v6.1). I was getting one usable image for about every 8 to 12 generated images but it may have improved with the new version.

Just Google swirly pattern.

Hi Merlin

I drew some patterns in Photoshop - feel free to use any you like. I did them as 1590B @ 300DPI so they should print well. No AI was used, just human skills / abuse of Photoshop







If you want any using specific colours I can have a go at making them? The first image was me trying to draw something like the image you posted (failed at that, but I rather like it so I kept it)

While the 60's-style graphic art is rather authentic, the knob layout is absolutely dreadful!!

Just having fun with brushes in Photoshop now - here's a couple more

I had a shirt like that! When Vallerie's artificial stupidity ramped up the US charts. Long sad story.

Google "paisley", images. "Liquid light show" may be inspirational. page of stuff

Reception
Record World called the track "a hard rock ditty that the Monkees will sing to the top of the charts."[8] Billboard called the single an "easy-beat rocker" and considered the 45 rpm record as containing "two blockbuster sides" with "Tapioca Tundra" as the B-side.[9] Chicago Tribune pop music and culture columnist Robb Baker said, "It's hard to find rock any better than "Tapioca Tundra," "Valleri" or "Daydream Believer" in his review of the Monkees album, "The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees."[10] U.K. music critic Brian K. Jones said, "Great must be a huge hit" and "the nearest yet they have got to The Beatles

Only album my mom ever bought for me.

What would the Art be like if the AI was on shr00ms.?
Since AI is a computer / software then maybe a circuit breaker would trip.?

'Val' and 'Day' are Rock? ? ? Putting a driving bass part under a pop-song does not make Rock (did make money).

'Tundra' bothers my little dog. She was begging under my chair (she hasn't eaten in 17 minutes) but when Nesmith's nose-filter came in she scrambled for the door.

Reminds me of something out of a medical book.

Even with a refresher listen 'Tundra' doesn't warrant recall, however, every now and then Nesmith's voice gets locked on repeat "Her name was Joanne and she lived in a meadow by a pah ah ah aaaaah ond... whether or not that's the lyric & phrasing, my brain doesn't know any different.

Its visually modulating.

Somebody out there might still be using this early one I made.

Just don't mention anything about pedals. Just describe the swirl patterns, or whatever you want.

I haven't yet heard an articulated and compelling reason not to from grumpy anti-AI folks, except "don't" so... in the meantime I'm going to decorate stuff and make it more fun.

Here's a silly project for an upcoming kit using JLC's new color PCBs, where I used midjourney to generate the imagery:

That's really nice! Lots of fun!

I was planning on giving the Tayda UV printing a try so I figured I'd also try a little Bing image generator for some artwork, too. I think it looks pretty cool. Added the text in Photoshop.

I'm old enough to remember back when people used paint to random generate a swirl pattern on their pedal enclosures. So long ago...

Wow, colour PCBs! I've been out of the loop for too long
