CookieDraft, Update 2

Let me start by saying, you, like everyone before you, will have to trust my sketches mean something!!! "There is a big difference in sketching for yourself and sketching for others," said absolutely none of my instructors, ever.

I do use real shapes sometimes; however, I cannot draw a vertical oval. What are those! ohhhhh my sweet little Achilles heel.

So where am I? Well, the research is ready for a one-pager. Font pairings are just waiting for me to choose and apply. I have the icing colors pulled, the project style determined, my persona coaching me, and a ton of inspo to keep me focused. Check out the Pinterest board!

Now it's time to wireframe and push myself forward.

As I've been developing my AI-native design workflow over the last 6 months, I've learned just how important traditional workflows are to AI success; one is not meant to be isolated from the other, that would be removing the human in the loop, ya know. You cannot be uncertain in prompting. You can iterate, but your bones need to be decided first, which is what you are seeing in this part of my process.

Unlike working through the terminal, where I control token usage, here I need to decide, document, and brain-dump until I’m looking at a static result with atomic components. I need to document my naming conventions and faux-code, so I am 100% sure I can communicate my imagination to a machine that cannot dream.

The Goal: to be efficient with my input to maximize the output. I have interactions I already know will be finicky, and I need to make sure I can accomplish them with what I have.

I probably bit off more than I can chew in 2 weeks, but when has that ever stopped me? Never. I love the challenge. I look forward to seeing what I can produce in a tight timeline, with finite credits and just me (caffeine and Pandora).
