Ohh wow this gonna be a long reply 😂 because I do a lot: digital (site, app, design systems, ui but that’s been mostly games), branding, print (small to large outdoor installations), event design, photo illustration & compositing, traditional illustrations, storyboarding (film & tv), digital illustrations (vector illustrations and painting), iconography and art directing. Just wrapped a big project art directing a photo shoot of 27 real people (as opposed to models/actors), choose selects (out of 4000) to send to color retouchers and art directed them. All that being said not sure I have one speciality. It’s more like a passion for all things creative and learning new ways. Also believe in creative cross training for myself. But I have total respect for others that master one skill tho! Most people I admire concentrate and become true masters of one thing. I just want to try everything. What about u?

Hahah and here I thought I was the only one struggling with too much of a passion for everything 😂

I’m currently working on my Final Project (B.A) where I designed a propose a new and beginner friendly Interface for 3D. I used the Project as an opportunity to find out what I would choose if could only do one thing for the rest of my life. So I kinda do everything in that Project. (Webbased Working Prototype, Editorial for final Presentation in a Magazine, UI-Design for the Application, 3D-Art as examples, Motiongraphics and so on …)

So even though I’m no expert at all I’m in the process of deciding to become a UX-Specialist and to do all the other creative stuff as a hobby/art.

At moment all of the AI emergence is making me question what my future as a designer will look like. Because I feel like it’s eventually going to evolve into a „Just Think it, I’ll do it“ Product. So like you I’m really interested in connecting with creatives worldwide to get inspired and exchange Ideas and Thoughts on „Creativity“

Ahh your project sounds cool!

I forgot I animate and do motion gfx too! 😂 I think it’s great to do as much as you can. Equally great to work in a team or collab. But sometimes you have to wear many hats.

As far as AI goes, I think use it as a tool and learn from it. I’ve been so overwhelmed with work I haven’t had much of a chance to play with it. But when I did I immediately wanted to take AI imagery and fuck with it/composite it as you might with any photo. Could also be useful to see it’s take on a project for inspiration/motivation. Also good to be aware of how it will evolve.

I have mixed feelings about it in general. I like that has made non creative ppl so fascinated with the art (even if AI created). But I have seen the same people selling that art on Open Sea and find that odd.

Sometimes I think things are cyclical. So in this case I can see a backlash to more sentient human made creativity/art/design.

This is a really good AI documentary you might like (AlphaGo): https://youtu.be/WXuK6gekU1Y

You should definitely put your Name hast n the Waitinglist for Adobe Firefly!

I am feeling the same about AI because it’s enabling so many people but ironically it just create a new creative elite instead of democratizing. But it’s definitely here to stay so we better adjust to it and develop strategies to implement it in our lives.

So since you just finished the big project, is the next one already waiting for you or are you in idle-mode now?

Ohhh I will sign up for firefly! Thanks for the heads up on that!

🙏🏼 I just found out about Abobe Photogrammetry. I might check out the webinar for that on April 13.

Excellent point about AI and it birthing a new creative elite.. so interesting. I’m gonna be thinking about that for awhile! And definitely agree about strategies too.

I wish I had a break tbh. I’m too much in my head. But I’m working on an extensive library of icons for a company. It’s a fun project. I did some animated svgs which was cute. I have around 114 more icons to do. I’ve already done about that amount. It’s really really cool to see these simple vector illustrations bring joy to people in the company. Makes me happy too!

How’s your project going?
