Taste Test
Which one is better? I made the promo poster with ChatGPT and animate it with Canva AI and Grok Imagine. Same prompt: slight, restrained animation, keep text, logo etc as it is.

Grok's coin render feels a touch more dimensional to me, though Canva's type hierarchy reads cleaner at a glance. Is this for your own workflow testing, or does a client need to sign off on one of these?
It's for me, I was experimenting a bit.
Good to know, glad I wasn't overthinking the client question. Now that you've run both side by side, are you leaning toward one tool for future personal experiments, or will it depend on the type of asset you're making?
I use both tools regularly, depending on what I’m trying to achieve. Canva and Imagine each have their strengths and limitations, although I tend to lean more toward Imagine for personal experiments.

For the Contra x Envato Challenge, 'Human by Design', we built a brand identity and animated a promo video for 'Olo', an accessible crypto-trading platform.
To us, the core of this challenge wasn't about creating more content with AI, but about maintaining one clear creative direction. When drawing from a massive library of separate AI generations, stock footage, fonts, and music, a project can easily turn into a disjointed visual mess. Envato served as our entire toolkit - from AI-generated audio and assets to stock templates and typography.
But every asset still had to answer one crucial question: 'Does this truly feel like Olo'? Guided by the brand promise of making crypto trading accessible for everyone, everywhere, human instinct drove the entire creative process:
1. Curating over generating: Rejecting raw AI outputs that felt flat or out of context and ruthlessly filtering for what actually worked.
2. Building a visual identity: Applying custom effects to transform generic stock footage into a unified aesthetic.
3. Directing the flow: Motion design, precise typography, and timing every single movement to the rhythm of the music in After Effects. Envato Stock and AI tools dramatically accelerate the build process, but it’s the human creator who infuses the soul. It provides the ingredients, but art direction, taste, and instinct define the quality of the final result.
Toolkit: Envato (Envato AI, Stock, Fonts, Audio) + After Effects & Adobe Illustrator.

Footer 2 fit in for that kind of industry
A little creative experiment.
I created two versions of the same campaign, each with its own vibe and visual direction. Now I'm curious...
Which one would you stop scrolling for?
A or B? ✨
