The main thing I need for my project to feel professional is custom art/UI assets and smooth animations throughout the application. While I wasn’t able to find any AI tools that could generate the type of animations I need, I did find a generative tool that could help with asset creation.

For this assignment, I used Canva Magic Design to explore potential front-end layouts and main menu concepts.

The prompt I used was ‘Black and blue, minimalist.’ Most of the results weren’t fully usable, but certain elements stood out. One poster in particular inspired the type of font I might use in the final application and gave me the idea to incorporate rounded edges into UI elements.

While this tool does not necessarily advance the project in a technical sense, it allows me to experiment with a variety of potential art styles without committing them to the actual build. It helps me get a sense of which assets work well together, which I can then implement once I’ve settled on a style I like.
