AI gave ideas. Human judgment

AI gave ideas. Human judgment built the brand.

For the Human by Design Challenge, I created Cronut Café; a conceptual bakery brand, to explore how AI can speed up ideation without replacing creative direction.

I used Envato's ImageGen to generate early logo concepts, then relied on my own judgment to refine the logo, typography, colour palette, and visual identity in Adobe Illustrator. Once the brand direction felt right, I returned to Envato to create mockups, also using VideoGen to bring the identity to life through motion.

The biggest decision was knowing what to keep, what to change, and what to throw away.

That's the part of design that will never change 🚀

Thanks @Envato and @Contra for the challenge! 💚
