For my #EnvatoChallenge submission, I made a logo reveal video and decided to show the actual process instead of just the final result.
I started by generating a few versions with AI: fast, polished, technically correct. But none of them felt like mine. They were missing something I couldn't quite prompt for.
So I went back into Envato itself, this time not looking for a finished output, but for references sample footage, assets, textures things to build from rather than things to copy. From there, I put together something fully handmade, frame by frame, even though it doesn't look that way.
I think the real "human by design" decision wasn't the final edit. It was choosing to stop generating and start building recognizing when the AI output was technically fine but creatively empty, and doing the slower thing instead.

Spec campaign created from scratch with generative AI, including concept, copywriting, product imagery, female models, outdoor applications and a short film.
The creative execution is stunning. Using Claude for conceptualization and copywriting alongside Figma for design really shows how these tools can work together. Did the AI help more on the strategic brief or the visual direction?
