Ahh.. at last.. 3 days of work and its come down to this!
LUCE ANTICA , Italian for ancient light. My submission for the #envatochallenge hosted by @Contra HQ and @Envato .
Initially I built a house design and wanted to add elements of space and time lapse and design the house with fluid simulations of liquid crystal but ended up scrapping it since I found something better to work on.
*I FOUND MY HUMAN BY DESIGN MOMENT* while working on this scrapped concept by using the annotation tool to individually edit the generated image and refine something which the AI couldn't with its prompt.
THIS WORK OF LUCE ANTICA is about promo for a diamond company by the name as stated and the clip highlights its essence and brilliance and timelessness. Humans live and perish, turning from flesh to skeleton but the brilliance of such jewelry stays. This is perhaps the human by design moment for this particular concept, a jewelry crafted for humans.
I LOVED WORKING ON THIS PROJECT AND WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY and am so excited to view other submissions as well. Kudos!

The best prompt I wrote wasn't a prompt. It was a sketch.
For the Contra × Envato Human by Design Challenge, I wanted to explore what happens when human creativity leads and AI follows.
I started with a Moodboard, explored countless AI generations, and realized something:
They had the substance but they didn't have the heart.
AI helped refine the artwork, but the vision, personality, and decisions behind Nocti were always human.
Meet Nocti. My submission for the Contra × Envato Human by Design Challenge. 🌙✨

Love the idea that the sketch came first. Starting with your own thinking instead of a prompt makes the final piece feel much more intentional.
What started as a poster for a local Longboard Fest turned into a creative playground.
I began by generating an illustration from two reference images. After a LOT of iterations, I finally found the direction I was looking for.
Then I experimented with Envato's Style Transfer, exploring different visual styles until one really stood out.
My first idea was simple: place the poster into mockups and animate a flyer falling onto the sand. But once I saw it... it just didn't feel right.
So I changed direction.
While browsing Envato's video templates, I found one with layered posters. Instead of choosing a single design, I decided to animate five different versions of my poster.
That unexpected decision completely transformed the final result, and became my Human by Design moment.
AI helped me explore possibilities, but the creative direction, the decisions, and the final story were entirely human.

I like that you shared the changes in direction instead of just the final result. Those creative pivots are usually where the strongest ideas come from.
nøne — Human by Design
By day I'm a product designer, buried in OKRs and dashboards. This challenge pulled me back to the creative side of design, and that reconnection was pure joy. Enjoying the process. A human exclusive.
I kept asking one question: what can a human do that an agent can't? An agent always moves from A to B. Take away the goal and it ceases to exist. A human can choose to do nothing, on purpose. Just exist.
So I designed nøne: a meditation app that sells you no benefit, tracks no streak, asks nothing of you. Based on the philosophy of Byung-Chul Han and Ailton Krenak, it treats doing nothing as the last thing that can't be automated.
Built with Envato assets, Figma, and the help of Claude for the copy. But the taste, the humor, and every "no" on the page are mine.
just be.
