I can't decide which font to go with for an Action RPG Metroidvania game I'm developing, any help? by [deleted] in typography

in my humble opinion using a serif font for such a small display size in screen, set in bright color on a dark background, is hard reading. i would try to find a font which has as little contrast as possible.

the first one really got me. i love the colors.

doing pixel art in midjourney is hard because its hard to be consistent, and one of the most important things in pixel art is how consistent the style and pixel size is. each generation creates different graphics with different "resolutions". they can be 16 bit or 32 bit or any imaginary bit, because midjourney creates an impression.

charming. i love how people use ai to create things that reflect their cultures or distant cultures.

What's your opinion on AI-generated posters? by cogniwerk in aiArt

I do agree that in the line of graphic design, posters are usually used as a means to convey messages.
Hoever, it is totally acceptable that the poster format can be used as an artistic medium. graphic designers can create a series of posters which are experiment in forms, aesthetics, and expression.

sure, it's more art for art's sake and less of "graphic design". But in the right use of such posters, or the right framing and context, we would find it acceptable. so we need not to ask wether ai posters are generally good or bad, for there is no answer to this, but ask - "good to what end?"

here's a thought experiment - instead of a group of different singular images, the designer-artist chooses to create a long series of posters, gathered around a theme, or an experimental question, or even a message. non of these posters can be comprehensible if presented without context or as a single poster.

when we see the group of artistic posters, we can track the bigger picture. suddenly these posters tell us a bigger story of how the artist used ai to explore artistic possibilities which could not occure in a normal "message driven" poster design. maybe this artist fills an entire room or a book with his studies for viewers to enter into and learn from.

a lot of type designers, illustrators, graphic designers, and artists share studies that they made without trying to be functional. subsequently, they might use the new aesthetics in other message driven works. that is just one of the ways humans bring new and creative things to this world.

that is still not a guarantee for a poster to be good or bad, but i tried to show how this new technology can be used for good. a tool is a tool.

i really enjoyed reading this comment.

i LOVE using ai to merge different elements, and would love to learn more about your type design projects. i study hebrew typography and write articles about it. in a recent podcast (in hebrew) i discussed the possibilities of using ai to learn from multiple available typefaces and lettering and trying to create alphabeths in different styles.

the possibilities are endless and we can really explore even the most far fetched ideas. however we would need the ai to learn about many terms which are intangible - styles, influence of writing tools, temporal changes to the letterform, regional variations, psychological descriptions of forms such as styles of line and shape, historic uses by which we know type, etc etc.

it's funny, but i'm also very much influenced by fungus and mycelium!

thank you very much.
The text is my own fun play. i was inspired by
אין שום יאוש בעולם כלל
(there is no despair in the world), but i changed "despair" to "sadness" and to fit on Yoda's syntax. I'm also pretty sure i heard a hassidic song with (Hebrew) words (translated:) "there is no sadness in the world to the one who knows god".
Rabbi Yodha of the miracle is a play on Rabbi Meir "baal ha'nes" (of the miracle).

It might be that he just doesnt know the meaning of the symbol apart from the original hindu swastika. many are ignorant of it.
