I CREATED A PRODUCT WITH A MORE HUMAN DESIGN USING @Envato #envatochallenge
Instead of relying only on AI, I stepped outside to find inspiration in the real world.
I explored different places, captured my own photographs, studied colors, textures, shapes, and details, then combined those real-life elements into a single product design.
AI can generate images, but it can't replace the experience of discovering inspiration with your own eyes.
Every photo I took became a piece of the final creation, making the product feel authentic, personal, and impossible to recreate through prompts alone.
Envato Tools i used for creating this product:
🔥 Gen Ai
- ImageGen and Styles
- ImageEdit
- VideoGen and Preset
- MusicGen
- Mockup Gen
🔥 Stock
- Photo
- Videos
- Video templates

- Music
- Sound Effects
- Fonts

this makes the final result feel more genuine.
The combination of photography, observation, and AI tools makes this project feel truly unique

Alluring
Love the balance between AI and real-world creativity. Using your own photos adds a level of authenticity that prompts alone can't replicate. 👏
good one
Great approach—blending real-world inspiration with AI creates designs that feel authentic and unique.
Love this approach. Blending real photography and observation with AI really adds that human touch and authenticity.
The human touch really makes the difference. Nice work
Looks like you had much fun making the process video. Nice scenics, nicely done!
love this approach! there’s really no substitute for getting out there and capturing those real-world textures and details yourself. such a cool way to give your design that extra layer of soul
Stepping outside to capture real-world textures and colors gives the design a unique soul that pure prompt generation just can't touch. Awesome approach to the challenge!
i love ittt!!
love that you went out and found real world inspiration instead of just feeding prompts. it makes such a difference when you can feel the human touch in a design.
fr nothing beat the original experience with our own eyes. love this kind of approach!
combination a real world and AI looks more beautiful

AI can generate a dashboard. But can it give a product its own identity?
The first design was created by my client using AI a familiar dashboard style you've probably seen across countless AI-generated products.
I redesigned it to feel less generic and more intentional, with a distinctive visual identity, clearer hierarchy, and an experience built around meaningful celebrations.
The goal wasn't just to make it look better. It was to make it feel like its own product.
What do you think is missing from most AI-generated interfaces?

I think personality is what makes a product stand out. A clean design is good, but it should also feel unique and memorable. 👏
Down the Rabbit Hole: CapCut World LA
Project Overview:
A 35-second high-energy cinematic spec commercial created for the CapCut World Creator Challenge. The project reimagines the classic Alice in Wonderland trope through a futuristic lens—transporting a digital creator from an ancient misty forest down an enchanted zero-gravity wormhole directly onto the main keynote stage of CapCut World in Los Angeles.
Role & Services:
AI Video Generation & Prompt Engineering
Visual Direction & Character Consistency
Video Editing & Retiming (CapCut Pro)
Sound Design & Audio Mixing
The Creative Challenge & Solution:
Character Continuity Across Disparate Worlds: Maintained exact wardrobe (oversized pastel lavender sweater, loose top bun, hazel eyes) across high-contrast environments—from naturalistic misty forest lighting to neon zero-g tunnels and high-intensity stadium spotlights.
Dynamic Pacing (0 to 100 mph): Engineered a seamless motion curve: starting slow with curious exploration (00:00–00:06), accelerating violently into a 360° roller-coaster slide (00:12–00:24), and resolving with a punchy, confetti-laden stage arrival (00:24–00:35).
