I wanted to answer one question: can AI handle real design work, not just aesthetics, but actual readable text, brand consistency, and production-ready outputs?
So I ran 10 experiments with Ideogram. Logos, dashboards, magazine covers, perfume bottles, game cards, movie posters.
Each one pushed the typography engine harder than the last.
The case study is live. Judge the results yourself.
Ideogram gives next level
Totally agree!

Pricing is positioning.
Discounting is repositioning.
The jobs I refuse on price are the ones that make the other work possible. I forgot that for six weeks last month and it almost costed me another project I was super excited about.
Dark. Precise. Built for momentum.
Pacer is a full brand identity system designed for a modern SaaS product that communicates speed, focus, and technical confidence through atmosphere rather than complexity.
The visual language is built on deep contrast near-black backgrounds fractured by cold teal light bleeds and subtle film-grain texture that gives the brand physical weight. The custom logotype uses a geometric "P" mark with architectural cutouts, making the letterform itself feel engineered rather than simply styled.
The in-hand phone mockup captures the brand in its most honest : a glowing teal splash screen held casually, lit dramatically, and grounded in real context. No floating devices on white backgrounds. The product feels alive.
What's included in this project:
- Custom wordmark & logomark
- Dark background brand reveal visual
- Product mockup photography direction
- Color system: deep black, teal gradient, off-white
- Grain texture & light bleed treatment
Built for:
SaaS startups, productivity tools, and performance-driven tech brands that want an identity with edge one that feels as fast as the product it represents.
Minimal vs. Bold, which one would you run?
A coffee shop client came to me needing a visual direction for their Instagram feed. Instead of going straight to one concept, I explored two completely different approaches, same brand, same brief, two different personalities.
To generate these visuals I used Lummi AI, and honestly the results speak for themselves.
Option A goes minimal and editorial: Clean, premium, lots of breathing room, the kind of feed that whispers "quality."
Option B goes bold and cinematic: Dramatic light, raw energy, the kind of post that stops the scroll.
Both are valid and both serve different audiences. That's exactly the conversation I have with clients before we touch a single asset.
Which direction would you choose for a specialty coffee shop and why?
