Chance and Choice

Zine, Collage, Artificial Intelligence

This zine was inspired by randomly generated prompts to build an imagined world. Given words from a series of categories such as colour, scale, nouns, adjectives, and philosophical views, this task focuses on the intersection of chance as a tool to help make choices in the design process and to inform the final product.

Influenced by prompts from ChatGPT and Adobe Firefly, this zine explores narrative generation through the transformation, recontextualisation and collaging of images that have been generated. The use of abstraction and minimalism in this zine highlights the bleakness of this deterministic world and the chaos that ensues as a result.

Workshop led by Andrew Burrell

Experimentation with different coloured backgrounds, paper and textures to test the best option for the visual narrative of this world.
