Which one do you guys think would work as a real-world app with daily use?

The redesign looks cool and modern. But for daily use the dark cards feel a bit heavy making them lighter would give you the best of both worlds. Did you test how easy it is to read on the go?

One day I want to open a bagel shop. For now, I got to prototype the whole brand instead, logo, packaging, poster, video using Envato's gen AI tools. It's a surprisingly solid all-in-one kit for image and video generation.

My Workflow

- Sketched the logo on paper first, pulling inspiration from Envato's geometric patterns, I go for a monochromatic, warm, geometric logo.

- Built the final logo in Illustrator, then handed it to AI with clear sketches and direction.

- Used AI to rapid-generate mockups across t-shirts, packaging, and posters.

- Iterated through a brand animation, testing multiple storyboard approaches before landing on the final version. - Generate music via Envato AI then edit in After Effects.

My Human by Design Moment My first animation storyboard for the logo was low-fidelity, so the AI output felt random. I assumed the fix was more detail, so I redid it with the final logo and tighter instructions. AI overcorrected. It added motion and elements I never asked for, and the result was more confusing, not less.

I made a different call. Instead of adding more, I stripped the storyboard down to just two frames: a start and an end. No extra instruction for AI to misread, no room for it to improvise. Designers has design in mind, our goal is to visualise that vision. AI helps along the way, but only when I gave it clarity. Simpler instruction with examples what finally got a clean, consistent animation out of it, one I could adapt across other bagel without starting over. Curious on how other make the AI works?

I love the color palette and grading of the photos too! They look so good!
