Post 62 - Back to the chickens again…


Today I bring you images from Adobe Firefly 2, something all users of Adobe Creative Cloud and their Apps will have access to. It gives you a set of four variations, I think they're all pretty good, there's a touch of William Morris designs in there I reckon. I used the same prompt from one of the other chicken creations.


Image Prompt:
Create a linocut style illustration of a chicken in a folk art style, using bold lines and shapes. The chicken should be the main focal point, filling most of the frame. Use a limited color palette of black, white, and one accent color like red.

Some key elements to include
The chicken posed in a side profile view, with its head turned slightly to face forward

Stylized, angular lines to depict the feathers and features in a graphic, block print style

Subtle hatching and line work to add shading and dimension

A simple, uncluttered background, perhaps with a subtle pattern or texture that evokes the look of a linocut print

An overall balanced, eye-catching composition that would work well for a t-shirt graphic

Aim to capture the charming, rustic character of a linocut print. The final illustration should be bold and graphic, with high contrast between the black key lines, white negative space, and pops of accent color. The style should feel handcrafted and folksy.


Let me know if you need any other details! The key is to keep it simple yet striking, as if it was carved and printed by hand using traditional linocut printmaking techniques. Have fun with it and create a cool, wearable work of chicken art!



Following on from that I got ChatGPT to give an overview of Firefly in case you were wondering:

  • Customisation and Control: Despite its AI-driven nature, Firefly offers users a high degree of control and customisation, ensuring the final output aligns with the user's creative intent.


How Adobe Firefly is Changing the Game

  • Democratising Design: Firefly is making high-quality design more accessible. With its AI capabilities, it lowers the barrier to entry for high-quality design work, making it possible for more people to create stunning visuals without years of training.
  • Enhancing Creativity: Firefly doesn't replace human creativity; it enhances it. By automating routine tasks and offering creative suggestions, it frees up designers to focus on the more creative aspects of their projects.
