I’m obviously late for the banner contest but I still think this awesome community also deserves an awesome banner 😁
This is the first time I use Midjourney AI and I’m myself very impressed with the results. I have a paid membership so there should be no issues regarding licensing.
Here’s my prompt:
Design a captivating 1280x400 banner for an Android community that showcases the vibrant colors of the Google logo in a tile-based background. In the center of the banner, position the official green Android mascot, surrounded by adorable and playful lemmings. Ensure that the overall design promotes a sense of community, excitement, and inclusiveness, inviting Android enthusiasts to join and engage in the community’s activities. Let your creativity flow to deliver an eye-catching and memorable visual representation of the Android community’s spirit.
(yeah it just ignored the lemmings and the tile thing, basically most of the prompt 🙃 but the result is still cute)
I can try to have it zoom out even further if necessary.
EDIT:
latest edit using GIMP to the version with the kawaii trees:
You must log in or register to comment.
Well, the submission is a bit late… but I am pretty bored of the current banner, so if everyone’s OK with it then we’ll keep running it here until we figure something out.
Update: we are doing it. Contest will now be run until we’re all (mostly) happy with a new banner design.
If you don’t like the current submissions, feel free to submit your own for a vote. As usual, AI image generators are allowed (we are a tech forum after all), although my personal preference is to have something more… composed. cough ControlNet cough

you mean the one with the kawaii trees at the end of the post? or the one in the thumbnail (which sadly doesn’t have the right aspect ratio)?

If there’s no real complaints or nitpicks about it then I’ll try to have it up by tomorrow morning.
Annd… done. Sorry it took so long.
I’m trying with a better aspect ratio right now
proposal #4:
For proposal #4 it decided that the trees needed tiddies.
damn can’t unsee that now
Yeah, please fix it, don’t want realistic tanuki trees right on the banner… here at least. :)
Operation tiddy removal is a success (also added the missing eye):
Played around with manual edits using GIMP.
(EDIT: just put a slightly better version)
I tried many times and it just won’t remove them, guess we have to disqualify this one 😔
I guess they really overtrained on the worldpolitics.
trees are cute but one of them is missing an eye
proposal #1:
so far nothing odd stands out on this one
proposal #3:
I personally find that red android on the left weird 🤔
That could represent the non-standard Androids, like Huawei. :p
It’s an Android made from raw beef!
Super meat boy!
proposal #2:
the android on the left with the red = sign is also weird
Looks quite cool.
It is beautiful!
Very cute I like it
Wow it’s your first time using Midjourney? That’s pretty good!
yup, as you can see from my prompt the result has almost nothing to do with it (except the wholesomeness and probably the inclusiveness it took seriously since there are a few androids missing one or two hands 😅), but it still produced wholesome banners (modulo small GIMP edits to remove tree tiddies) so I’m definitely not disappointed 😁
That’s one of the reasons why I love Midjourney lol… Sometimes it’s nothing near what you wanted but it turns out great anyway!
AI “art” is not art.
Never pretended that to be the case, but IMO still better than using the current stretched image (possibly without proper authorization) from: https://technext24.com/2021/04/22/the-new-android-12-app-animations-is-beautiful-but-may-drain-batteries-faster/. This is simply a case where something objectively good is better than nothing at all. There was a contest and no one proposed a banner.
Instead of turning this into “AI bad” attacks, it would be preferable if you showed us your real art by proposing a beautiful banner for this community :-)
Yeah, AI can really help with covering gaps. I dig the banner. If something better comes up, then cool, it can be replaced. Until then tho 😜
Oh, good to see you here Hariette. Hope Artemis is coming along well.
Pretty darn good! In a few days making the beta public. For those who want to test new /kbin API on artemis.camp instance 🚀😀
I have been counting days to get into the public beta
We are all very excited here!
Not that it really matters much, but here’s the original version of the image: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/google-android-phone-characters-group-royalty-free-image/458243847
“Photography” art is not art.
Oh for Pete’s sakes. Art is art.
