Anthropic just made 10,000 designers irrelevant overnight...
Or did they?
Let me show you what actually happened...
Claude Opus 4.7 dropped yesterday...
And my timeline exploded...
"We're done"
"Pack it up"
"Learn something else"
I've heard this before...
When Canva launched in 2013...
"Designers are done"
When Figma launched in 2016...
"Designers are done"
When Webflow launched...
"Designers are done"
When ChatGPT launched...
"Designers are done"
Design industry revenue in 2024?
$46 billion...
Growing every year...
So what's actually happening?
AI generates...
Designers decide...
AI gives you 100 options...
Designers know which 1 is right...
AI builds the screen...
Designers build the feeling...
AI can produce a landing page in seconds...
But it can't tell you why this shade of blue builds trust...
And that one kills conversions...
That's not a prompt...
That's a trained eye...
Here's the real threat...
Not AI...
It's the designer next to you...
Who's using AI...
And you're not...
The ones who panic lose...
The ones who adapt win...
The ones who master it...
Dominate...
AI just raised the floor...
Your job is to raise your ceiling...
Tools are available to everyone...
Taste is not...
Judgment is not...
Vision is not...
The average designer is done...
The excellent designer just got superpowers...
Which one are you?
Out,
Yameen

Every creative designer I know has the same problem
Finding hero section visuals that actually feel human
Not stock, not generic, not obviously AI
We spend hours hunting for ther perfect visual for hero
The brands I admired their hero sections felt alive, warm and human
Like someone had actually crafted a world for them
I needed to know how!
→ So I broke it down
Until I understood the exact visual language behind it
→ Then I built it into a workflow
And turned that workflow into a technique on Flora AI
Now you can do what took me weeks, in a single input
→ Drop any image in
Get 3 Dreamscape hero visuals + 3 seamless loop animations
Ready to place behind your headline
@FLORA's technique system really makes it easy
Here you can try:

This one's for every creative who ever settled
because the right visual was just out of reach
amazing job, but the use of mockup image made me thinking
Still waiting for my app store review, but meanwhile got an update from @Framer
Just became a Pro Expert.🎉
The best part? It's not the badge.. Clients can now add me as an editor on their project without paying for an extra seat.
P.S. Not sure if Framer is the right fit for your next website? Let's chat and figure it out.
