“…Thus, these systems are more frequently used for generating design variations within predefined brand identities, rather than exploiting innovative ideas. For example, they can help create variations of book covers [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] or logos within the same brand identity [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Frequently, one of the goals of Graphic Design (gd) is discovering disruptive visual solutions that stand out and attract people’s attention. However, due to the increasing democratisation of gd, graphic designers tend to adopt design trends, leading to designs that many times lack innovative and catchy features. EvoDesigner is an evolutionary extension for Adobe InDesign that aims to aid gd processes by automatically evolving layout and style variations of given InDesign pages. The generated pages might be previously created and post-edited by designers, promoting co-creation. As an extension of the study EvoDesigner: Towards Aiding Creativity in Graphic Design, this article begins with a general introduction of EvoDesigner. Then, we review previous experiments on evolving pages towards the page balance of existing target posters. Furthermore, we present new experiments exploring the benefits of using grid systems to position and scale page items along with a user survey made to gather feedback about the impact of grid systems in the generated pages and showcase examples of artefacts created from the collaboration between designers and the system. The findings indicate that the presented techniques can be used to interpret current layouts in different manners, and suggest that grid systems may be a useful tool for promoting the automatic production of layouts with better organisation when compared to applying no organisational constraints. However, a conducted user survey indicates that, depending on the goals of the designers, more organised layouts might not always be synonymous with better results.

The manifestation of generating digital visuals through an algorithm is gaining worldwide attention in the graphic design industry. It is a new form of computing that visualizes data input by the designer or collected in the physical environment and turns them into artwork. The generative design of ‘Macau Design Award 2019' was the first of its kind being adopted locally. This key visual design received mixed feedback in the field. There is concern that erroneous perceptions of such a new way of designing could detach Macau from the global design trend. The purpose of this paper, in the form of an exploratory case study combined with a survey, is to understand local graphic designers' perspectives of generative design. The authors want to examine how digital native and digital immigrant designers perceive the phenomenon and their degree of acceptance. The data were obtained through an online questionnaire shared with the Macau Designers Association members. UTAUT2 model was employed to analyse the main obstacles to their attitudes towards adopting generative design in their artwork.
