• Title: Evaluation of Sketch-Based and Semantic-Based Modalities for Mockup Generation
• Authors: Tommaso Cal\`o and Luigi De Russis
• Abstract summary: Design mockups are essential instruments for visualizing and testing design ideas. We present and evaluate two different modalities for generating mockups based on hand-drawn sketches. Our results show that sketch-based generation was more intuitive and expressive, while semantic-based generative AI obtained better results in terms of quality and fidelity.

• Abstract: Design mockups are essential instruments for visualizing and testing design ideas. However, the process of generating mockups can be time-consuming and challenging for designers. In this article, we present and evaluate two different modalities for generating mockup ideas to support designers in their work: (1) a sketch-based approach to generate mockups based on hand-drawn sketches, and (2) a semantic-based approach to generate interfaces based on a set of predefined design elements. To evaluate the effectiveness of these two approaches, we conducted a series of experiments with 13 participants in which we asked them to generate mockups using each modality. Our results show that sketch-based generation was more intuitive and expressive, while semantic-based generative AI obtained better results in terms of quality and fidelity. Both methods can be valuable tools for UI designers looking to increase their creativity and efficiency.

  We introduce Sketch2Code, a benchmark that evaluates state-of-the-art Vision Language Models (VLMs) on automating the conversion of rudimentary sketches into webpage prototypes. We analyze ten commercial and open-source models, showing that Sketch2Code is challenging for existing VLMs. A user study with UI/UX experts reveals a significant preference for proactive question-asking over passive feedback reception.

  We introduce an inversion based method, denoted as IMAge-Guided model INvErsion (IMAGINE), to generate high-quality and diverse images. We leverage the knowledge of image semantics from a pre-trained classifier to achieve plausible generations. IMAGINE enables the synthesis procedure to simultaneously 1) enforce semantic specificity constraints during the synthesis, 2) produce realistic images without generator training, and 3) give users intuitive control over the generation process.

  A tool which generates levels using interactive evolutionary optimisation was designed for this study. The tool identifies level design patterns in an initial hand-designed map and uses that information to drive an interactive optimisation algorithm. A rigorous user study was designed which compared the experiences of designers using the mixed-initiative tool to designers who were given a tool which provided completely random level suggestions.
