MaisonAI: A dance costume creation project by an AI beginner using the "store"

Hello, I'm Yuya.

This time, I would like to use MaisonAI's new feature "Store" to create dance costume ideas.

I am a beginner who had never used AI until recently, so I think this article will be easy to read for those who are just starting to use AI!

The appeal of the "Store"

The store function added to MaisonAI on February 14th includes the following:
There are 20 free prompts in each of three categories: general tasks, fashion-specific tasks, and image generation.
Prompt generation takes some time to get used to, so this will reduce that time significantly.

All 60 types of prompts (instructions for AI) are free! New functions of generative AI support tool "Maison AI" accelerate the use of AI in the fashion industry - Now also supports multiple languages ​​such as English and Korean -

Create a dance costume idea

I've been dancing since I was a student and continue to do it as a hobby.

There will be opportunities for recitals and other events, so apart from the choreography, one thing I'm worried about is what kind of costumes to wear, which is the theme of this time.

You need to decide what style you want, what colors you want, etc., based on the atmosphere of the song you're using.

I don't usually have any particular preferences when it comes to clothing, so I always find myself worrying about it and it takes a lot of time.

At times like these, I thought it might be a good idea to try using Maison AI, which led me to take on this challenge.

I actually made it

Creating AI agents in the store

First, check out the Fashion section of the store and find some items that might help you create.

This time, I'd like to try using something I found in the fashion section called "Styling Image Prompt Engineer."

The "Styling Image Prompt Engineer" appears to be an AI agent that creates prompts for creating fashion images.

From here, I simply clicked Create and I was able to easily create an AI agent.

I was a bit worried about creating an AI agent on my own and thought it would take a lot of time, so I found this very relaxing.

Use the AI ​​agent you created

I created it quickly. I will try to create a prompt using the "Styling Image Prompt Engineer".

First, enter what you want to do this time.

They then provided me with questions to help me be more specific.

I'm very grateful for questions like this because they help me to get a clearer image in my mind.
I will answer the questions you have.

Here is the prompt I got back in response:

prompt:
Create a lively and cool hip-hop dance costume for a group of dynamic 20-somethings, male and female in equal ratio, for a showcase event in a club where the stage fits up to 8 dancers. The costume concept should embrace warm color palettes , possibly incorporating shades of orange, yellow, and red, to exude energy and coolness. Outfits should feature loose silhouettes that allow freedom of movement, essential for hip-hop dance, and include a variety of headwear options like knit caps, baseball caps, and bucket hats to add individuality and style. Accessories should be minimal to keep the focus on the costumes and the dancers' movements. Footwear could consist of stylish yet practical sneakers that compliment the overall warm-toned, energetic theme. The final look should embody the spirit of a lively and cool hip-hop track, making the dancers feel confident and the audience energized.

It took me about 30 minutes to get the prompt up and running!
I feel this is very helpful because at the moment I'm not capable of writing such long and detailed prompts.

Generate an image

Next, let's actually create an image using the prompt created in "Image Generate"!

Here's the image that emerged:

Although the balance of the characters' bodies is a bit odd in some places, it came out pretty much as I had imagined!
However, it ended up being a little too bright for what I had imagined, so I would like to make the colors a little more subdued.
So, let’s change the part in the middle of the prompt.

Before:
possibly incorporating shades of orange, yellow, and red , to exude energy and coolness.
After:
possibly incorporating shades of dark color , to exude energy and coolness.

Here's the image that emerged:

I was able to darken the colors a little, which made it closer to what I had in mind!
This will help create a sense of unity as a dancing team, while also allowing each member to show their individuality.

Finally, I will create the image I created earlier, but since it is in an illustrated style, I would also like to create a photo of someone actually wearing it.

This could be achieved by not changing the prompt and instead selecting "Photographic" under "Image Style".

thoughts

This time, I tried creating dance costume ideas using Maison AI's store function.

It took less than an hour from when I had the idea to when the image was created.
Normally, it takes more than 3 or 4 hours because I have to search through various places and put everything together.

I think we've created something that is sufficient, as long as everyone can visualize it as a proposal.

Although the uses may be different, I feel like there are times like this when it can be used privately!

Stay tuned for next time.
