Fun Things to Ask AI to Create — And Why a Designer Still Rules the Game

Fun Things to Ask AI to Create — And Why a Designer Still Rules the Game

by | Apr 17, 2025 | Design, Graphic Design, Social media, Web Design

Let’s be real –  AI is fun! Like, create-an-image-of-me-as-an-action-figure fun. It’s like having a digital genie at your fingertips, ready to turn your wildest ideas into something (usually) hilarious, sometimes stunning, and always unexpected. It’s always a blast playing around and asking for images of what AI thinks your life looks like—whether it’s transforming your workspace into a comic book scene, imagining your pet as a superhero, or turning you into a character straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon.

Here are a few fun questions and requests I’ve asked ChatGPT recently – and the results did not disappoint.

Check them out!

“Draw me as a character in a 90s cartoon.”

“Turn me into an action figure.”

“Make my business into a 1980s sci-fi movie poster”

“If i were doodles on a sketch pad?”

“What do you think my office looks like?”

It’s fun, surprising, and sometimes… hilariously wrong! 

Take this gem: I asked Adobe Firefly for an image of our family dog… a “German Shorthaired Pointer pointing at a bird” — and this is what I got…. A dog with 5 arms?? I even tried it twice with the same hilarious results.

That’s where a real designer makes all the difference! Sure, AI can be a creative playground. But when you need something custom, professional, and actually aligned with your brand’s vibe — that’s where the magic of a graphic designer shines.

We bring:

  • Creativity with a purpose
  • An eye for detail
  • Visual storytelling that makes sense
  • Experience that translates your ideas into real-world impact
  • Strategic thinking to elevate your brand identity
  • Collaboration to bring your vision to life, not just a guess from an algorithm

So yes, play around with AI-generated images (we love a weird dog drawing as much as anyone). But when it’s time to build your brand, launch a product, or share your story in style?

Leave it to the experts. We’ve got your back — and your brand. Need something that’s equal parts clever, captivating, and consistent? Let’s chat!

Why Formula One Car Livery is the Pinnacle of Design

Why Formula One Car Livery is the Pinnacle of Design

Last year, we had the incredible privilege of attending Formula 1 Miami and seeing these engineering masterpieces up close. The speed, precision, and aerodynamics of these cars is just amazing. But beyond their engineering prowess, F1 cars are also a canvas for artistic expression. The evolution of F1 liveries—from simple national colors to complex branding masterpieces—reflects both technological advancements and shifting design trends.

The Evolution of F1 Livery

In the early days of Formula 1, cars were painted in solid national colors. British teams raced in British racing green, Italian teams in red, and French teams in blue. This tradition persisted until the late 1960s when sponsorships revolutionized F1 aesthetics. A car’s livery refers to its unique color scheme and branding, serving as both a visual identity and a marketing tool. In 1968, Team Lotus broke new ground by introducing the first commercially sponsored livery with the Gold Leaf tobacco branding, marking the beginning of modern F1 livery design.

The Science of Speed and Style

F1 car design isn’t just about performance—it’s about visibility, branding, and identity. The sleek paintwork and decals must balance aerodynamics with eye-catching aesthetics. Today’s teams use lightweight vinyl wraps instead of heavy paint to maintain the car’s optimal weight and aerodynamics. Matte finishes, pioneered by Red Bull Racing, have become popular for their ability to reduce glare and improve photography.

Iconic Liveries Through the Decades

Over the years, certain liveries have become legendary. McLaren’s red and white Marlboro scheme from the Ayrton Senna era remains one of the most recognizable in motorsport history. Ferrari’s signature Rosso Corsa red has been a staple of the grid, while Williams‘ iconic blue and white Rothmans livery of the ‘90s brought a classic elegance to the sport.

More recently, teams have embraced bold designs. Red Bull Racing consistently delivers striking matte blue and red designs, while McLaren has experimented with retro Gulf liveries and sleek chrome finishes. In 2024, special edition liveries—such as Red Bull’s tribute designs—continue to captivate fans and push creative boundaries.

Innovation Beyond the Track

Formula 1 car livery design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a powerful marketing tool. Sponsors pay millions for prime real estate on F1 cars, knowing the global audience will see their logos at every race. The fusion of art, branding, and technology in F1 liveries sets a benchmark for how design can enhance visibility and impact.

If you’re fascinated by high-performance design and want to see how attention to detail can elevate your own brand, check out our branding and website design services. Just like F1 cars, a well-crafted brand combines aesthetics and functionality for maximum impact!

Formula 1 car livery design is a perfect example of how art and engineering come together to create something truly extraordinary. From bold colors to intricate details, each team’s livery tells a unique story. My personal favorite is the Red Bull Racing car—their striking matte finish and dynamic graphics make their cars stand out on the track. Whether on the circuit or in the digital world, great design makes all the difference!

How Often Should You Update or Change Your Logo?

How Often Should You Update or Change Your Logo?

How Often Should You Update or Change Your Logo?

Your logo is the face of your brand—it’s the first impression customers get and a key part of your business identity. But as design trends, customer expectations, and your business evolve, you may start wondering: How often should I update or change my logo?

Signs It’s Time for a Logo Refresh

You don’t need to overhaul your logo every year, but there are certain signs that indicate it’s time for an update:

✅ Your Business Has Grown or Changed – If you’ve expanded your services, changed your target audience, or shifted your brand’s focus, your logo should reflect those updates.

✅ It Looks Outdated – Design trends change, and an outdated logo can make your brand feel stuck in the past. A refresh can modernize your look while maintaining brand recognition.

✅ It’s Not Versatile – If your logo doesn’t work well on social media, mobile screens, or printed materials, it may be time for a redesign that’s more adaptable.

✅ It Doesn’t Reflect Your Brand Identity – If your logo no longer aligns with your business’s mission, values, or aesthetics, a rebrand can help bring everything back into alignment.

How Often Should You Refresh Your Logo?

A minor refresh (small tweaks to fonts, colors, or layout) is recommended every 5-7 years, while a full rebrand (a completely new logo) may be necessary every 10-15 years depending on industry trends and business growth.

Some of the world’s biggest brands, like Starbucks and Apple, have refreshed their logos over time while keeping their core identity intact. The key is to evolve without losing brand recognition.

Many of the world’s most recognizable brands have successfully updated their logos over time, proving that evolution is key to staying relevant. Apple transitioned from a detailed illustration to the sleek, minimalist apple we know today, reflecting its shift toward modern innovation (Apple Logo Evolution). Starbucks has gradually simplified its mermaid logo while maintaining its brand identity, ensuring it remains timeless and iconic (Starbucks Logo History). Pepsi, on the other hand, has undergone multiple redesigns to keep up with changing consumer preferences and trends (Pepsi Logo Evolution). These brands showcase the importance of refining a logo to align with modern aesthetics while preserving brand recognition.

Need a Logo Refresh? Let’s Talk!

If you think your logo might be due for an update, I can help! Whether it’s a subtle refresh or a full rebrand, I’ll create a design that reflects your business and makes a lasting impression. Let’s chat about your brand’s next evolution!

Branding Spotlight: VertX Manufacturing’s Bold New Identity

Branding Spotlight: VertX Manufacturing’s Bold New Identity

 

A strong brand is the foundation of any successful business, and I had the incredible opportunity to craft a complete brand identity for VertX Manufacturing—a cutting-edge company specializing in precision manufacturing. This project included a logo design, business cards, website, and social media branding, all designed to position VertX as a leader in its industry.

Building a Brand That Stands Out

From the start, the goal was to create a brand that reflected innovation, strength, and precision. I worked closely with the team at VertX Manufacturing to develop a cohesive identity that sets them apart from competitors.

1. Logo Design: A Bold Statement
The VertX logo needed to be modern, sleek, and versatile. I crafted a design that symbolizes precision engineering with strong typography and clean lines. The result? A bold, memorable logo that embodies their brand’s identity.

2. Business Cards: First Impressions Matter
To maintain a professional and polished look, I designed custom business cards that seamlessly integrate the new branding. The design features the VertX logo, bold colors, and a clean layout, ensuring a strong first impression at every networking opportunity.

3. Website: A Digital Home for VertX
A brand’s website is often the first touchpoint for potential clients. I developed a mobile-friendly, SEO-optimized website that showcases VertX Manufacturing’s expertise and services. The site is designed for easy navigation, fast load times, and a seamless user experience. You can check it out here.

4. Social Media Branding: Consistency Across Platforms
A strong online presence requires consistent branding across social media. I designed custom profile images, banners, and post templates to help VertX maintain a cohesive look on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram, ensuring brand recognition across all channels.

Why Strong Branding Matters

Your brand is more than just a logo—it’s the visual identity and voice of your business. A well-designed brand builds trust, attracts customers, and sets you apart from the competition. If you’re looking for a branding refresh or a completely new identity, I’d love to help.
