AI x Design: The GRAPHIC Framework for Better Co-Creation
AI + Designers: A Better Way to Co-Create
AI is entering graphic design studios, not to replace designers, but to collaborate with them. A new review by Joana Rovira Martins, Pedro Martins, and Ana Boavida scans 872 papers and zooms in on 68 AI systems used in graphic design.
The result: GRAPHIC, a clear framework to evaluate how well these tools support human-AI teamwork across three lenses:
- Collaborative Panorama: Who leads, who follows, and how control shifts.
- Processes & Modalities: From sketch, text, and image to feedback loops.
- Graphic Design Principles: Composition, typography, color, and more.
What's missing today?
- Better balance of initiative between humans and AI.
- Transparent, explainable interactions, not black boxes.
- Tools that don't just iterate, but enable transformational creativity grounded in design fundamentals.
Design teams and toolmakers can use GRAPHIC to build co-creative systems that are rigorous, expressive, and genuinely helpful. Read more: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.17443v1
