- If you think AI-generated images are by default subpar quality and cliche, consider this might be selection bias.
Many designers and creatives are seamlessly integrating genAI into their branding work, but most of us probably wouldn't notice unless they pointed it out.

- It’s a good day when I get fresh cut flowers
- I've been scrolling through Pinterest for some interior design inspiration - it's flooded with AI-generated pics now. It made me want to buy printed magazines instead of searching for inspo online after a long time.
Weird tension: I'm a genAI optimist, but when I'm looking for inspiration specifically for interior or fashion design, I want to see stuff that really exists—there was an effort behind it, it is feasible, it can be done this way...

- The older I get, the more I value surrounding myself with high-quality food, spaces, furniture, clothing… And lately, I've realized the same applies to software. Spending hours on the computer daily, it’s a pain to use digital products that are poorly made, ugly, confusing and clumsy.
Yes, I might try your MVP a few times. It might be *useful*—the same way that sitting on a banana box fulfills my need for resting my legs (but I'd take an Eames armchair any time).
But if using the software feels like eating junk food while wearing a polyester t-shirt under harsh fluorescent lighting, I'll skip it; thanks.

- **Hello World.**
Let’s talk design in this decentralized landscape.
-What are the physics of cyberspace?
-Is attention the online currency spend?
-Are we designing for ownership or access?
-What do our new interfaces feel like?
-From where do we hear new voices?
Seeking curious minds and strange unknowns.

- I'm thinking about adding a page to my website (www.blunarova.com) with just my genAI visual experiments. Less of a portfolio, more of a way to capture it in the form of creative lab / visual research.
Is there any agency or freelancer doing this from whom I could get inspired?
- **Underrated career tip:** Make it ***super smooth*** for others to send opportunities / gigs / jobs your way.
I genuinely LOVE referring my friends to opportunities they would be the perfect fit for. But it's hard when they keep their skills, interests and experience a secret.
No portfolio, outdated website, empty LinkedIn, no social media profiles,… Crickets.
Make your past work and future goals visible.
No one can read your mind.
And then get your network to work - they will happily help!
- AI-powered features that I would love to have in design tools:
- automate naming my layers
- advanced automatic search for similar logos and marks (Google's visual search is not sufficient)
- optically scale and align a wall of company logos
- search fonts with natural language (find me a font that feels: loud, eclectic / soft, bouncy / precise, sharp)
- click-to-upscale for images
- natural language powered actions (text box for "please save all my open files in Photoshop to .PSD and .JPEG"
Someone please build this into Figma or Adobe CC
- Who should I follow here for some artsy experiments with generative AI?

I created some fictional designs with Midjourney v5.1. Which one would you get?

1. @uniswap.lens, with robust hardware in 50 shades of their pink brand colour:
- A second concept, a more futuristic one. Featuring Ledger hardware wallet @ledger.lens
- A third one, a minimalistic layout for a crypto hardware wallet inspired by RIMOWA.
- And a concept No.4, exploring a hardware crypto wallet as a vibrant fashionable accessory.
- I feel a bit meh when I don't design anything visual for a couple of days.
So last night, I made some fictional crypto hardware wallet concepts to explore different art directions just for fun.
It's a great exercise to explore different styles and compositions beyond the client projects.
Which one would you cop?
