Different from an art maker, this job can easily be given to a robot, most likely an AI, which will make a plan and create it based on the client's demand. Since this kind of job will be client-based, most of the answers will be easily performed by AI which can show what kind of art they want. They can choose what they wish to or relax more for the client.
