Solar Proposal Agent: AI That Never Invents a Number Technical Product Catalog for LED Lighting (InDesign) I found a postcard photograph titled "Tudia de Loja, Ecuador" (c. 1935ā1955, Fototecnia Stein, Quito) in the Rijksmuseum's public-domain collection. My grandparents are from Loja, so I imagined the life of this young woman and a "White Nights"-style love story set in an Andean plaza, where she falls for someone who is waiting for someone else. I built the "Warm Folk Realistic" Style from this reference, keeping its warm film tones, grain and documentary realism. Then I used it to tell her story across the series.
Placing hundreds of quotes inside a shape by hand takes days.
So I wrote a small tool: it reads a spreadsheet, measures the width of every band in an Illustrator file, and fits each quote inside its band. Font size follows the band, nothing crosses the edges, nothing overlaps.
The part I like most: when you re-run it, it only places new rows. Anything you moved by hand stays exactly where you left it.
Useful for signage, murals, or anything that needs lots of text on a shape.
