What would happen?
What would happen if a modern skincare product had to communicate without the visual language we associate with beauty today?
Instead, I went back to Art Nouveau, where typography, illustration, architecture, and ornament were treated as one visual system.
The subject actually...
Treating type, illustration, architecture and ornament as one system is exactly what modern design keeps rediscovering and calling new. Art Nouveau nailed cohesion before we had the phrase design system. This dark ornate skincare direction genuinely feels like an artefact.
This concept is just wow

Can AI understand your rough sketches?
ChatGPT just added a new sketch feature to its new Images 2.5 model, so I tried it with extremely simple sketches and short prompts to see how well it could understand my intention.
And honestly, I actually like it!
This can be helpful especially when you already have a specific pose or composition in mind and want to quickly turn that rough idea into something more refined.
If you’re curious, I included a quick process video in the comments.
Do you think this new feature could be useful in your workflow?
So cool

How far can a 10-second doodle actually go?
I scribbled the simplest fish I could: an oval and a triangle tail, and let ChatGPT Images 2.5's Sketch tool run...
Love this kind of experiment. A fish doodle becoming a full visual story is actually impressive. Shows how much the tool can infer from minimal input.
What does sketch to shippable actually look like in real time? 🎥
Honestly, I went in doubting it, and came out convinced, for early concepting at least. 🤔 I recorded the whole process, doodle to final.
Calling all desginers to run it on your own idea and drop the result below. Here's the prompt I edited, templated so you can run it on your own campaign:
"Create an original artwork inspired by the attached sketch. [describe your product: material, finish, colors, depth]. Main focus on [your hero element]. Do not preserve exact strokes or shapes. Boldly reimagine its forms, proportions, colors, materials, and details. Never trace or retain the original lines, integrate their ideas naturally through texture, lighting, and color. For simple sketches, invent a richer interpretation. Ask me about preferred artistic style with a few options."
Where does it hold up, where does it break? 👀
omg ... you just gave me the BEST idea to play around with on my ipad mini with my apple pencil hehe, this is 🔥
