In your experience, what are the biggest challenges when integrating AI-generated elements with traditional design techniques in a cohesive project?

Keeping consistency can definitely be tricky. AI elements sometimes feel a bit off when placed next to traditional designs, especially if the style doesn’t totally match. I’ll usually spend time tweaking colors, textures, and lighting to create a smooth visual flow, so the whole piece actually feels like it fits together

The biggest challenge in integrating AI-generated elements with traditional design techniques lies in balancing innovation with cohesion. AI can generate highly creative and abstract designs, but these outputs must align with the overall aesthetic and principles of traditional design, which often rely on human intuition and emotional depth. This requires refining and customizing AI outputs to ensure they don’t overshadow or conflict with handcrafted elements. Additionally, technical integration can be difficult, as AI tools may not always seamlessly fit into traditional design workflows, requiring careful planning and iteration to maintain both efficiency and creative control throughout the project.

To match the same style and keep the consistency of several characters is always chellanging. Also consistency with weird looking animal-like characters is hard to be keept as AI will always try to create something new and not copy existing. Even if you give him several images as reference, he will try create something similar but not same. If you work with Stable Diffusion/ComfyUI, you can train a LORA with 20+ images to keep the consistency with the model. Leonardo has character reference option, midjourney has --cref option.
