The night before Sweet played on Top Of The Pops in the mid 70's, a girlfriend sewed patches on the back of their jumpsuits with banned symbols and swear words so they could suddenly swing round towards the camera and piss people off! It's absolutely brilliant they made sure the offending articles were on the back so that BBC producers couldn’t see or stop them. True Punk Rock trailblazers.

Punches For:
... embedded YT-Videos.
It's annoying how long the YouTube video details stay on the screen, even after you’ve started the video and moved the mouse away. Not on YouTube itself, but here on QBN for example, when the video is embedded. I haven't found a way to change this in my YT-Settings...

- so you saved some bucks vs hiring a photographer for a day, how many dozens or hundreds of repeat customers have you potentially turned away w/ such an easy fixprophetone
- it's like people have lost their minds, look at the photos, ask honestly does it look appealing to HUMAN customers lolprophetone
- i mean esp with food photos of ALL things to drop the ball on, just to save some bucks and one day of timeprophetone

Artificial Intelligence
Blown away this evening having had ai help me create a 12 page brochure in under 2 hours.
I was given a word file by client with all the text and data content.
Gave Claude the word file and told it to take design cues, palette etc from the company website. And said to add placeholders for images.
It gave me a load of SVG's back that I could paste into A4 illustrator pages.
I acted as a design director making some type and copy edits. Made some little tweaks to the header throughout.
Got ChatGPT to create studio style photography of the products from the company at the image size ratio used in the brochure designs. I then placed images throughout brochure.
With 10 of the pages being table and data heavy, this brochure would've taken me a good few nights to do all manually.
- yup. it's great if you can charge the same as you would for the old way otherwise the industry is going to just eat itself._niko
- except for the biggest onesneverscared
- Like wearing a mechsuit at the gym.zardoz
- i love the idea of this but in our org the concern is feeding AI a bunch of information we wouldn't want to get out. is that concern for you?scruffics
- It was for a brochure so all info in it would be in public domain anyway when published.microkorg
- It was AI that did the design here, but rather than directing it to the website for inspiration I could've designed some template pages so that the AI was...microkorg
- ..working more as an artworker rather than a designer. If im doing this again then thats the way id like to try it next. Would feel a lot less like cheating ;)microkorg
- There was no creativity involved, just copying visual rules already defined.dmay
- I've been blown away a few times recently. It's getting better. Design as a career is over.newcunt
- You still need to art direct it but even a halfwit can give it design references they likenewcunt
- so i guess as long as there is confidential information and mistrust of AI, designers will have work to do, right? RIGHT?scruffics
- What a fucking hackrobthelad
- Scruffics, yes, it's a tool that saves us time IMO, that's all. The same as computers saved time not having to typeset or mockup with Letraset.microkorg
- Dmay, Claude actually took influence from a detail within the logo to design pullout panels and image masks that reflected this detail that doesn't featuremicrokorg
- anywhere on the website, so that's a little bit of design thinking. Translating the brand/logo into a design language element.microkorg
- Cool, but are we okay with SVGs pasted into illustrator as design files now?monospaced
- Mono, the SVG is all editable vector and fonts. All good. It does break chunks of copy up, but if you are making edits then you can replace with new copy blocksmicrokorg
- I just had to do that earlier tonight.microkorg
- well shit ...monospaced

How many of you musical folk are using AI to create synths/new sounds/mastering/sample editing or whatever?
I'm looking for some inspo considering this week I made a simple webgame for a major client in Codex and it's made me think "what else can i do?"
- So far, I don't.ApeRobot
- i am writing my own instrument using teh Maschine + hardware as the controller. Combining a loop pedal + amiga tracker style sequencing working side by sidemantrakid
- Plus writing my own synths and audio effects to get close to the vibe of things like the Chase Bliss 'tape' and 'granular' style of effects. its fucking wild.mantrakid
- Nope.cruddlebub
- chopgrid.comautoflavour
- built a mac app, the ported it vst3 for mac/pc and ipad ios..autoflavour
- don't worry AF i'll get your chopgrid app. I love the idea of it. Did you build the whole thing using AI? Maybe you're my inspiration for this post :-)Ianbolton
- the coding is AI, the design/graphic/UI elements was all my own photoshop work.. and all the samples in the Drum machines are my own recordings of my studioautoflavour
- what i would suggest is if you are thinking about making something, do it properly the first time.. i messed around in SWIFT and then had to rebuild the entireautoflavour
- app using JUCE/C++ once i realised i couldnt use do things like use external audio interfaces etc.. so yep, use JUCE as your baseautoflavour

I've been working on some huge updates to the free form collage tool I've built over the past couple years. I didn't envision adding animation capability to it but one thing led to another. It almost reminds me of early days Flash in the ease of creating the animation. My next update will allow for .mp4 assets that can be resized, cropped, cut, etc. and animate in like everything else.

- URL or IG link to animation, mp4 won't play here. :(mg33
- Looks great. The only thing I'd suggest is making that animation happen faster. I think this would have some great energy if it all happened in about 1-2 sec.CyBrainX
- Thank you! I'd definitely speed it up if there are more elements. I can set it to BPM, which will make for a nice ability to add my own music in Logic Promg33
- I'll use this for an ambient music project / slower music, so the slower transitions bring smooth, ease in/out is the vibe I'm going for.mg33
