What is Stable Diffusion and How is it Used in Graphic Design?

blog-detail-img

 

Stable Diffusion is a deep learning tool created by Stability AI in 2022 that transforms text into photographs. More specifically, it generates a detailed description of an image provided by the user. It can also be used for graphic processing of existing photographs. This tool is accessible to everyone.

 

This program is constantly evolving and its capabilities are improving – the photographs generated based on text are becoming more and more realistic. In this blog, I’ll tell you how Stable Diffusion works, what possibilities it offers for designers, and what limitations it has.

The Importance of Stable Diffusion

 

Stable Diffusion is public and accessible to anyone. You can easily download and use it on various devices. Thus, it’s no longer necessary to use large technological platforms to conduct experiments and create art samples with the help of artificial intelligence.

How Does Stable Diffusion Work?

 

Stable Diffusion uses a convolutional autoencoder network with an embedded transformer-based encoding system. Manipulations on photographs are done using Gaussian noise. The generation process looks like this: the encoder takes an image X and encodes it into a latent vector. Then Gaussian noise is added to it, which changes the existing vector.

 

Next, the vector is decoded. The decoder tries to remove the Gaussian noise and restore the original image X. When encoding text, the program transforms the provided text into a latent description, which is then linked together and transformed into the corresponding dimension. As a result, it becomes possible to create a relevant photograph based on the text.

 

In the process of creating samples, the vector feeds the decoder, which removes noise from each of them. This way, the quality of the photograph increases and its resolution becomes 1024×1024.

What Capabilities Does Stable Diffusion Have?

 

This program can create new photographs based on the text provided to it. It includes a description of what elements the photograph should consist of. It’s also possible to recreate existing photographs and add described elements. This process is called “guided photo synthesis”. The program allows you to combine elements of two or more photographs into one photo.

Examples of Using Stable Diffusion

 

Due to its versatile capabilities, you’ll encounter this program in many fields:

  • Digital Media: It’s actively used to create sketches, illustrations, or storyboards. It enables cost reduction in the content creation process. 
  • Product Design: Fashion designers use the program to create new prints, silhouettes, or color variations. They describe an imaginary product and create its 3D models. This accelerates the early stages of idea formation. 
  • Marketing and Advertising: Marketers use the program to create product photographs, life scenes, and social media posts. AI-generated photos reduce photography costs and provide unlimited content production. 
  • Science and Medicine: Researchers provide AI with detailed descriptions of chemical compounds, genomes, molecules, and diseases to visualize data and models. This helps them discover new scientific conclusions. In medicine, it’s used to recognize patient diseases and plan treatment stages.

Based on the final project results, the top graduate will be guaranteed an internship at one of our partner creative agencies. The program is entirely based on practice-oriented learning, during which students will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the process of working on various types of projects, the correct principles of creating visuals, and design directions. They will learn from scratch the essential technical aspects of graphic editors necessary for working in different directions. By gaining technical knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, they will learn to create visuals for various media channels, correctly analyze briefs, create mood boards, and plan design projects. Throughout the program, after each lecture, students will independently complete corresponding practical exercises. They will also receive advice/consultations on career development. At the end of the course, they will create an individual project that will tie together the portfolio created during the course.
