There are many well-defined tasks that AI can do, but we still need people to solve undefined problems in unexpected yet practical ways -- in other words, creative work. As all designers know, creativity is not a magic trick; it is a result of the iterative design process: brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and improving the result. I present a system that uses AI to support people in all the steps of the iterative design process for creating visual metaphors. Visual metaphors are considered to be the most creative type of advertisement. The challenge of visual metaphors is to convey an abstract message in a simple, visual and engaging way. I show that when AI removes the burden of low-level tasks, we improve people’s ability to do high-level, creative work.
