we used Parallel to build Parallel’s first brand campaign.
here's a look at the research, connections, and creative decisions behind the artwork.

(1/6) Glad you’re here @hassanrahim. Yes your reaction is correct. The reason people suddenly want to talk about this is that the cost of production is at the floor. Now that we can will anything into existence with the new tools, the people with the best “taste” are seen as more valuable to organizations than they have ever been. The fallacy is that “taste” is being treated as a credential you can sell. But the fallacy is that “taste” now means something that can be sold and not something that is unique.
ok genuine question and i’m not being obtuse — what is the whole discourse around “taste” right now?
i’ve only ever worked in the creative industry so taste is literally a prerequisite, never really discussed bc you would otherwise not be in the room
so is this “taste” conversation happening bc the world is now run by engineers who are trying to “solve” creativity?
also what the fuck is a moat?
i’m sorry

I've been building layout engines and grid systems my entire career, and the latest leap in model capabilities finally feels like it has set me free.
This prototype explores a thesis I wrote in 2019 on “structured randomization”: generating layouts within a strict set of rules, including a column grid, padding, safe space and an underlying pixel grid. The model can only play within those boundaries.
The result is 180+ variations I can quickly scan, compare, and use to make more deliberate design decisions myself.

Interesting AI analogy here where the means to produce are at the floor, and you might ask “if they can make such good fakes, why not just make their own shoes and charge more?” To which you then realize that original ideas, creativity, and design vision are the most valuable things in the production process now.

I am looking for examples of illustrators who have used Biro in interesting illustration or hand lettering examples. Anybody got any reference?

Since prompt-based imagery is here to stay, my best advice to artists who want to utilize it is to treat your outputs similar to how you'd treat any found imagery in your practice. For 99.9% of artists, the raw results shouldn't be the final results.

Christine Sun Kim, an artist who was born deaf, said she knew she was denied opportunities afforded to the hearing. Now, her work — which pushes viewers to consider the limits of communication — is sought out by collectors and museums around the world. nyti.ms/3ySperE
