Visual Referencing

Creating brand consistency or collaborations in your applications with visual referencing and generative AI

Summary

Generative AI can be used to apply brand-specific colors and generate themed components for Next.js and Chakra UI applications. By providing context or brand information, developers can create components that match a brand's identity. Additionally, generative AI can create color palettes based on a single color and mood, enabling themed components tailored to specific contexts.

Example: Creating brand themed elements through visual referencing

Prompt:

chatgpt-3.5:

Create a McDonald's themed button component in Next.js and Chakra UI. Generate a color palette from a single color based on a happy mood.

Response:

import React from 'react';
import { Button } from '@chakra-ui/react';

const McDonaldsThemedButton = ({ children, ...props }) => {
  const brandColors = {
    primary: '#FFC72C',
    secondary: '#E51837',
  };

  const generatedHappyPalette = {
    100: '#FFD580',
    200: '#FFCA61',
    300: '#FFBF42',
    400: '#FFB523',
    500: '#FFAB04',
  };

  return (
    <Button
      bg={brandColors.primary}
      color={brandColors.secondary}
      _hover={{ bg: generatedHappyPalette[300] }}
      {...props}
    >
      {children}
    </Button>
  );
};

export default McDonaldsThemedButton;

Discussion

Utilizing generative AI to apply colors from context or brand information, and to generate color palettes for themed components in applications, offers several advantages:

1. Brand consistency: By creating components that adhere to a specific brand's color scheme, developers can maintain consistency across the application and improve brand recognition.

2. Streamlined component creation: Generative AI can quickly generate themed components that match a brand's identity or mood, reducing manual effort and increasing productivity.

3. Personalized user experience: Generating color palettes based on a specific mood allows developers to tailor the user experience to different contexts or user preferences.

4. Maintainable and scalable code: By utilizing generative AI to create components with consistent color schemes and themes, developers can create code that is easier to maintain and scale in the future.

Using generative AI to apply colors and generate themed components in applications enables developers to create components that match a brand's identity, maintain consistency, and provide a personalized user experience while saving time and effort.
