Towards a Generative AI Design Dialogue

Traditional visualisation designers often start with sketches before implementation. With generative AI, these sketches can be turned into AI-generated visualisations using specific prompts. However, guiding AI to create compelling visuals can be challenging. We propose a new design process where designers verbalise their thoughts during work, later converting these narratives into AI prompts. This approach helps AI generate accurate visuals and assists designers in refining their concepts, enhancing the overall design process. Blending human creativity with AI capabilities enables rapid iteration, leading to higher quality and more innovative visualisations, making design more accessible and efficient.
