Everybody Meet AdgenZ
AdgenZ Meet Evrebody 🎉 Every AI ad in your feed looks the same.
Same lighting. Same plastic skin. Same weightless nothing.
I'm a graphic designer. I got sick of it.
So I built AdgenZ Labs — Meta creative with the speed of AI and none of the smell.
Here's what happened on the first account. 🧵

I redesigned the website for this project, keeping its core elements while making it more modern and techy with dark mode by default, eye-catching floating animations, and improved color contrast.
Do you think the redesign I made in Figma is better? Or is the original version better?

Both of them looks nice but I can clearly see a big mistake on the footer the orig light page footer should be white or blue in color. @Grecia Valero that's why everyone's voted on the dark mode
Aise is a conceptual skincare brand built around a simple premise: wellness should simplify your life, not add to it. Inspired by growing consumer overwhelm and decision fatigue, I developed a reduction-led brand strategy and visual identity that transforms minimalism into a functional system rather than a stylistic trend. Through restrained typography, intentional spacing, refined packaging, and clear product architecture, the brand is designed to reduce cognitive load and make skincare feel calm, intuitive, and effortless.
Love how restrained the packaging feels, that wordmark on the outer box doing double duty as texture is a nice touch. Did you test other color combos before landing on the pink and sage, or was that pairing there from the start?
Architect of Chaos: Branding Cobalt Analytics for the Envato Challenge
AI has completely changed the creative landscape, but it hasn’t changed what makes a digital product functional. For the Envato Challenge, I set out to design the brand identity and UI concept for a B2B SaaS platform, Cobalt Analytics. The goal was to show the crucial difference between machine generation and human curation.
The Insight: The Azulejo Metaphor
Data analytics is often visually represented by clichéd glowing nodes and neon webs. I wanted a metaphor with history. I turned to Azulejo — traditional Portuguese ceramic tiles. Historically, the art of Azulejo was about taking thousands of fragmented, independent tiles and assembling them into one grand, coherent narrative. This is exactly what a predictive data platform does: it turns chaotic metrics into a clear system.
The Process: AI as the Miner, Human as the Filter
I started by feeding AI historical references of Azulejo tiles. The result? Absolutely stunning, yet completely unusable visual noise. AI generated beautiful chaos, but as a designer, I know that algorithms don't understand scalability, negative space, or modular grids.
The Extraction: I rejected 95% of the AI generations, extracting just one perfect geometric silhouette hidden in the noise.
The Clean-Up: I moved to Envato Elements to source mathematically perfect vector shapes and rebuilt the AI's concept into a clean, scalable brand mark.
The System (Figma): I established a strict modular Bento-grid, paired the complex geometry with a brutalist sans-serif typography, and built out the core UI dashboard widgets in Figma.
The Execution (Zero Photoshop): To bring the brand into the real world, I utilized Envato’s native mockup generator. I applied my designs directly to premium physical and digital mockups right inside Envato's browser tool—no Photoshop required. A completely streamlined, modern workflow.
The Result: Cobalt Analytics.
A brand identity that is mathematically precise, highly scalable, and ready for development. AI generated the noise, but human judgment built the system.
And for the brave souls, here is the link to the full Figma file. Fair warning: it’s a typical creative mess inside, you know how it is 😅
