I just finished designing a complete YouTube Social Media Branding Kit for an executive speaking coach.

[YT VIDEO] With Envato variants were generated. Human judgment turned it into the real promo campaign. In collaboration with my big br @Yanush Zetea.
For the Human by Design Challenge, we created DABLZ promo, a conceptual bag brand campaign inspired by Berlin nightlife, urban fashion, and rap culture.
Using Envato, we built a lot of video scenes which were transformed into 30-second teaser.
To make a complete promotional campaign we created:
- Posters
- Social content
- Sound design
- Landing page (DABLZ.SITE) - made with Codex help
AI helped us explore scenes and compositions, but the key decision was changing the first concept from a music video into a real product story.
Knowing what to keep, change, and remove made the difference.
Kudos to people from @Envato and @Contra!
