For the challenge, we conceived a fictitious malt brand, a nutritious and sweet beverage with no added sugars. Cristian had the idea of creating a malt commercial, so we decided to embark on a design from scratch.

I believe human guidance is present in every single step of the process, right from the first prompt, starting with the need to showcase something we identify with. How to execute it is part of the sequence of decisions we made along the way.

We began with a generic prompt to see what would happen. We analyzed the initial label layout proposed by the model and guided it through modifications that led to a final result very far removed from those early versions. There was a clear need for less artwork on the label to keep the focus on what truly mattered, ensuring the label design wasn't strictly straight. We also guided the model to move the bottle away from the standard beer bottle design it initially proposed, softening straight lines to bring a sense of warmth and approachability to the design, and ensuring the cap was rendered as a screw-cap. There was also human guidance involved in the final shot of the video where we present the brand, explaining to the AI how to achieve the specific effect we imagined with the soil.

This is, therefore, our submission for the Envato challenge.
