i'm currently travelling the southern hemisphere, so I've been picking up loads of beautiful boarding passes, tickets and receipts from everywhere I've been.
this morning i worked on these collaged animations in photoshop, inspired by the collection of receipts growing in my wallet + by this lovely holographic ticket animation by SHIROTA.
lots of texture + type always make for the prettiest animations.
Can AI really juggle 10 REFERENCES? Let's put it to the test!! 👀
👁️ Goal: Create a Halloween poster: a girl doomscrolling in bed while Munch's Scream screams right behind her, and she doesn't notice, the title is "Screen time: 7h 42m. Time left: 0.", while mixing drastically...
Would you send an AI icon set straight to a client? 👀
I tested Ideogram Vector on a pixel icon set for Yue Fang, an interior decorator with Chinese inspirations. The icon set was for her services.
After a few tries & prompt refining, Ideogram nailed the vibe!
BUT, some things needed to be reworked:
➡️ the white parts were shapes stacked on top of a solid black shape, not real cutouts (surprise when you open the SVG 💀)
➡️ some pixels weren’t actually square
➡️ some pixels were bigger than others
➡️ icon sizes were all different
Pixel art is supposed to be the ONE style where everything sits on a grid lol
Stacked shapes instead of real cutouts is exactly the kind of flaw that only shows up when you open the file. AI gets the vibe fast, but the file-level check before handoff is still on us.
