An Examination of Posters Created with Artificial Intelligence from a Graphic Design Perspective

This study examines poster designs created with artificial intelligence in line with graphic design principles to analyze the reflections of artificial intelligence technology in the field of visual communication. Posters created with artificial intelligence from KADEM Sanat's “Artificial Intelligence and Women” poster competition, KTO Karatay University's “October 29 Republic Day” poster exhibition, and Jardim Sonoro's “Electronic Music Festival” were selected as samples for the study. Using a descriptive analysis approach based on qualitative research methods, the selected posters were evaluated based on basic design elements, such as color, typography, and visual composition. The findings show that AI-supported posters offer technically successful results that align with graphic design principles. However, the study observed that human designers contributions are crucial for abstract components such as narrative depth, cultural context, and creative originality. This study provides a contemporary framework for evaluating the integration of AI technology into graphic design processes. It also contributes to discussions about creative production forms based on human-machine collaboration.
