Taste Test
Which illustration works better? It's supposed to look like a magnet.
Context: This is the empty state for Homiii, a roommate coordination app. That's why I went for real looking magnets (what some roommies use to pin notes on the fridge) instead of the typical flat vector.

I will go with "PUFFY PVC STYLE".
enamel style is looking great.
Puffy PVC style feels more alive and tactile — really fits the roommate vibe!
Enamel style looks better!
At the moment, Option B looks a more interesting, since it’s better developed.
As for the first option, I think the layout needs some work. There are too many shadows; it looks more like crumpled cardboard or something like that.

I'll prefer photos, specially talking about organizations in your page, human faces and real scenarios can have a better effect in this case.
Bakery of Tomorrow — Old Craft, New Machines
What would tomorrow’s bakery look like through the eyes of a nineteenth-century illustrator? I used the kneading scene from “Het bakkersbedrijf” (1865–1875), an anonymous public-domain print in the Rijksmuseum collection, to create a custom V4 style in Recraft. My six-image series reimagines bakery work through robot bakers, drone deliveries, automated cake decorating, holographic ordering, autonomous bread carts, and a robotic collection hatch. I kept the muted colours and fine printed texture to connect familiar bakery traditions with unfamiliar technology.

The bakery of tomorrow — a robot serves fresh bread while an automated collection hatch helps customers. Created in Recraft using my custom style inspired by the historical bakery print.
