Abstract

This abstract provides an overview of a research project that utilized AI Art Applications to design icons for dust. Dust Health and Safety is important as dust can cause damage to lung and respiratory systems and can be dangerous for aviation, marine, and road navigation. The project aimed to portray the effects of airborne soil dust on humans and nature through visually stylized and simplified icons. First, research was conducted to understand the specific characteristics and impacts of each icon, ensuring their accurate representation. Second, AI Art Applications, including Midjourney, Pixelmator Pro, Dall-E, and Canva, were employed to create the icons in a stylized and straightforward manner, facilitating enhanced visibility and comprehension. While Dall-E and Midjourney were instrumental in generating the base designs, final adjustments to colors were made within editors like Canva and Pixelmator Pro to ensure the precise depiction of each icon's attributes. However, a potential gap in knowledge emerged during the icon design process as subjective perceptions of understanding may vary between viewers. In conclusion, this research demonstrates the valuable application of AI Art in crafting informative icons that aid in communicating the health and safety effects of airborne soil dust.
