How It Started vs. How It’s Going: My 1-Year AI Design Evolution
Found some old Ideogram renders from a year ago when I first started experimenting with AI image generation.😂
Back then, I didn't just write prompts, I wrote whole movie scripts! 🎬 Look at this prompt :
"Black Grandmother giving advice to her engaged daughter-in-law about the BRAND NEW secret liquid soap in a 5-liter white jerrycan... whole family starts using it and every neighbor admires them..." 😂
Even with my wild storytelling prompts back then, Ideogram somehow pulled off incredible raw mockups.
Back then, my workflow was simple: generate the base render in Ideogram, head straight to Photoshop to design custom product labels, wrap them onto the container surfaces, and do a complete color grade.
Fast forward to today: I'm combining precise, structured prompt architecture with high-end Photoshop compositing to execute full commercial campaigns in under few hours.
The tools have evolved, but more importantly, the creative direction and workflow speed have completely leveled up.
Never be afraid to look back at where you started.
