Most people says ‘AI is going to take your JOBS’ which I find ‘NOT TRUE’. Instead, I will use AI as a leverage for efficiency. Almost everything you do on your editing software is controlled and done with AI.
✅ Noise remover - AI
✅ video/image enhancer - AI
✅ schedule planner or Notion - AI
And ETC!
BUT what’s wrong is when you depend FULLY on AI to do the job. Even when that AI tool is unavailable you can still get that JOB done, and the results remain consistent and clean.
This photo I enhanced for a friend I wasn't depending on AI to get it done for me. Because the AI tool I had available at that moment wasn't giving me the results I wanted so I had to used my skills to get the job done.
My first preloader code component for Framer became a huge hit and ranked #1 in the paid Loaders category on the Framer Marketplace. I received so many sales from it in just a few days, so I decided to create another one.
As usual, I packed multiple options into a single code component. This time, you can choose from 4 different preloader styles.
Same flower house, same layout. We only took the color out.
1. Full color. The iridescent petals do the selling: lilac, pink, a little shimmer. The photo is the brand, and every accent on the page borrows from it.
2. Monochrome. No color at all. Shape, texture and typography have to carry everything, and the page suddenly reads like a gallery catalogue.
Color sells the flower. Monochrome sells the exhibition.
The problem with monochrome is that, throughout computer history, it has conditioned users to associate gray and monochrome with being disabled, dysfunctional, or something to ignore and avoid.
