Abstract: In various embodiments, a workflow application generates and evaluates designs that reflect stylistic preferences. In operation, the workflow application determines a target style based on input received via a graphical user interface (GUI). Notably, the target style characterizes a first set of designs. The workflow application then generates stylized design(s) based on stylization algorithm(s) associated with the target style. Subsequently, the workflow application, displays a subset of the stylized design(s) via the GUI. A stylized design included in the subset of stylized design(s) is ultimately selected for production via the GUI. Advantageously, because the workflow application can substantially increase the number of designs that can be generated and evaluated based on the target style in a given amount of time, relative to more manual prior art techniques, the overall quality of the stylized design selected for production can be improved.
