Don’t know about you, but I love autumn. The crispness in the air, leaves changing colour, and things feeling a little more cosy.
Here’s a lettering piece I worked on capturing that autumnal feeling. Of course I couldn’t miss an opportunity to put a pun in there! 🍂
Experimented a bit today with Krea and image generation for a case study I’m putting together around AI EarPods connected to OpenAI.
The focus has been on creating fashion-forward product imagery and art directing a world that feels specific to the identity, rather than just generating nice-looking AI images.
The trickiest part has been product consistency. Especially getting the EarPods to actually sit snug in the ear. If you’ve worked through this process, you probably know the struggle 😅
Simply telling AI to “make it fit more snug or in the ear” doesn’t always work. It loves to reinterpret the product every time.
Still experimenting, but getting closer. If anyone has found a good workflow for keeping products consistent across AI-generated shoots, I’d love to hear it!
The category default for AI products is dark backgrounds and gradient glow. Heron's audience is architects, so we built the visual system out of their working material instead.
Everything on the site is drawn as architectural line work. Plans, elevations, dimension strings, and annotation boxes styled like redline mark-ups, each one holding a genuine code reference rather than lorem text.
The system does two jobs. It reads as native to someone who spends their day inside Revit, and it supports the product story, because Heron works inside the drawing rather than beside it.
