Borrow AI's Eyes for Design Review
AI is useful as a "first reviewer." Pre-stressing the design on mechanical criteria before human review lets discussion focus on the essentials.
Specify Review Criteria
Review this design (image/description): (1) gaze flow and information priority, (2) readability/contrast, (3) consistency (spacing, color, type), (4) accessibility, (5) confusing spots. Give concrete improvement proposals.
Effective Uses
- First pass with an objective checklist
- Simulating "where a first-time user stumbles"
- Checking copy and label clarity
Limits
- AI doesn't know brand intent, context, or real users
- Aesthetic and strategic judgment are human; AI's notes are material
- Depends on image-recognition accuracy; people re-check key points
Chapter Summary
The shared principle of design × AI: divergence, mass production, and first-pass checks by AI; judgment, consistency, and final responsibility by people. Always pair it with rights and terms checks, and production gets safely faster.
