For the #envatochallenge, I created AMARÉLLA using Envato Elements as my master toolkit. Here is how my human choices elevated the AI:
- The Logo: I used Envato Fonts for inspiration, then customized the letters with organic, leaf-like curves over a raw circular stamp to give it a human touch.
- The Packaging: The first flat box dieline had messy, clashing text. I redesigned it by adding clean panel lines, turning the product name sideways, and adding pretty plant drawings at the base for perfect balance.
- The Bottles: I rejected plastic and designed a heavy, custom stone-and-clay flask.
- The Videos: I used our Envato model photo as a reference and directed the AI to generate raw, slow-motion, black-and-white clips. Keeping the bottle quietly in the background allowed us to capture real, honest human emotion without issues.
- The Sound: I tied it all together with a warm, minimalist acoustic track from Envato Music.
- Toolkit: @envato Elements (Fonts, Stock Images, Music, Image Gen, Image Edit, and VideoGen)
That side with all the competitor logos in one grid is the slide I'd steal for a client presentation. Nothing explains "why this direction" faster than showing the sea of sameness first. The navy seal wins easily after that.
Just wrapped a brand identity concept for Haven Ridge Properties, a real estate developer selling to first-time buyers and investors.
The challenge: feel premium without feeling cold.
The answer was two ideas shelter and growth.
The mark is a roofline that doubles as an upward arrow: home and long term value in one symbol.
