Taste Test
Tried ChatGPT Images 2.5 for beauty portrait work, and honestly, the results surprised me.
Two different moods, one tool: golden hour intimacy vs. soft morning glow. Both generated with careful creative direction: Lighting intent, skin texture, mood, composition angle. The AI doesn’t replace the eye behind the work, it responds to it.
Still figuring out where this fits in the pipeline, but as a previsualization tool for beauty campaigns? It’s getting genuinely useful.
What’s your workflow for AI-generated references?

Thanks Benjamin!
That rim light was the main thing I was directing for. Getting skin to hold up close without that plastic AI smoothness was the hardest part. Do you use AI refs in your workflow too? 💯

Exploring two different hero directions for a new project.
Same message, two completely different visual approaches.
Which one makes a stronger first impression?
A or B? Curious to hear your thoughts!

Both are strong. I lean towards the dark version, because the orange accent on the italic "guess." pops and the profile portrait gives it a more editorial, confident feel. The navy one reads a bit more corporate, which could suit a more conservative audience. Nice exploration!
Two directions. One NFT marketplace.
Which visual direction would you choose?
🖤 A — Dark & Futuristic
🤍 B — Bright & Minimal
Both explore the future of Web3, but with completely different visual identities.

Strong design, well done
From AI-generated artwork to a more polished vector illustration.
I tested Ideogram Vector by generating an illustration for a lemon ginger tea packaging.
The raw output was a good starting point, but it still needed some work.
So I converted it into an editable SVG, refined the shapes, rearranged and resized the elements, and added a bit of texture to give the illustration more depth.
Here's a look at the before and after!
