Designers! Are you making the creative decisions, or leaving them to AI?

AI can help us explore ideas and speed up parts of your workflow, however knowing what to keep, what to reject and what to improve still takes design thinking.⁠

On the blog, we’re sharing tips to help you use AI without losing your creative voice or letting your design skills take a back seat.⁠

Whether you use AI regularly or feel unsure about it, we’d love to hear your thoughts.⁠

✅ Does every element have a purpose?

Whether you're just starting out or already have experience, this challenge is a great way to improve your layout, typography and composition skills while building your portfolio.
