Personal pet peeves
😬 Clients asking for logo design but requiring everything to be done natively in Figma
😬 Clients who reach out for brand or product design but only based on their AI generated images
😬 Asking for premium design for a premium luxury brand… and then negotiating the budget
What's yours?
Let's use this thread as a safe space.
Client asking for templates but it MUST be done in Canva, kills my soul every time.
Clients requesting guidance and then not accepting that guidance.
ughhh this!!
Every single one of these gave me immediate flashbacks! 😂 Especially the luxury aesthetic on a discount budget.
Add this to the list: When they want 'viral short-form content' but refuse to let anyone talk on camera, show a product, or use trending pacing. What exactly are we working with here? 😭 Great thread!
Oh no! that must have been a challenge!! hahaha
Yeah, sure 😊
“I already have the logo, just need the rest.” And the logo? An AI mockup. 😅
Hahahah thissss!
Clients wanting a luxury brand presence… but refusing to invest in photography, strategy, or content because “Can’t AI just do it?” 😭
All this are frustrating and it left me with no words actually 😭

Nice design
The Pelle & Pregio campaign was created entirely in ElevenLabs Flow using a premium cinematic ad template system designed specifically for luxury product showcases. The workflow allows you to seamlessly insert your own product into a fully structured commercial environment while preserving consistent cinematic quality, lighting, camera movement, and luxury brand aesthetics across every scene.
The template was built with carefully designed luxury fashion compositions, realistic product integration, elegant close-up sequences, soft golden-hour lighting, premium depth of field, and smooth commercial-style camera motion to naturally highlight the craftsmanship and details of the product. Every scene is structured to emphasize textures, reflections, materials, branding, and emotional luxury storytelling, from hero shots and macro detail reveals to lifestyle interactions and aspirational cinematic moments.
The system also maintains visual consistency between the character, environment, and product placement, making it easy to recreate high-end luxury advertisements for different products while keeping the same premium cinematic identity.

This is quite amazing 👏 bravo
One of my earlier projects, revisited.
Still love the idea of making mobility feel calm, seamless, and human. 🚘
Thinking about turning this into a full case study.
Great use of imagery! Would like to see the full case study 👍
