Ever wonder what happens in the three minutes after you pour your tea?
For this Challenge, I created Botanical Spirits, a tea brand where every cup wakes a small wool spirit that lives exactly as long as your tea stays hot. Six flavours, six species, one hushed nature documentary.
Built with Envato's ImageGen, VoiceGen, VideoGen, and stock photos, graphics and fonts. Edited in CapCut.
AI generated a lot of output for this one but human judgment picked the six that became a species, and made the call to burn the photoreal version and rebuild the whole world in wool!

Human by Design: La Mie Bakery Identity
Although we missed the official Contra x @envato challenge deadline, the workflow behind this project is worth sharing.
It's a complete brand identity and packaging system for La Mie, an artisan bakery.
While exploring the Envato library for inspiration, we noticed how generic concepts easily fall into template traps. Anyone can pull assets or generate a quick layout, but a distinct human perspective is required to create a cohesive, soulful brand ecosystem.
The workflow:
- custom character design: we moved away from sterile AI concepts and sketched a bespoke French poodle mascot from scratch.
- bespoke typography: we hand-lettered the primary logo text to establish an authentic, homey brand voice.
- production & curation: developed the packaging system in Figma using curated Envato mockups and design assets to enhance the final presentation.
While AI is an efficient tool for rapid brainstorming, true storytelling and emotional connection still require a designer’s touch.

Totally 3D
This looks almost like topographic contour lines warping around a center point, really hypnotic. Is this heading toward a pattern system for packaging or more of a digital brand asset?
