AI slop design is everywhere. Good design is still rare. The problem isn't the AI tool. It's expecting creativity from a single prompt. 📝Here's how I combine human taste, design references, and AI to create better visuals: 1. I don't start by asking AI to create a design from scratch. 2. First, I visit platforms like Pinterest or Behance to explore designs created by others. 3. I search for what I need using simple keywords like "X banner", "X cover photo", or "LinkedIn poster". 4. I go through different designs and find one that closely matches what I have in mind. 5. I don't plan to copy the entire design. I use it as a reference and starting point. 6. Then I think about what I can improve, remove, replace, or add to make it better. 7. Sometimes, I explore more designs to find other elements, backgrounds, typography , colors, or styles that could work well together. 8. I think about how these different elements can be combined naturally into one design. 9. Once I have a clear idea, I upload the reference image to an AI image generation tool. 10. I explain exactly what I want, step by step, including what should stay the same and what needs to change. 11. If my requirements are complicated, I first ask AI to organize my ideas into a clear, detailed image generation prompt. 12. I read the generated prompt carefully instead of using it immediately. 13. I check whether the prompt correctly explains the reference image, my intended changes, and how everything should fit together. 14. If something is missing or unclear, I ask AI to improve the prompt. 15. Once I'm satisfied with the instructions, I use the final prompt and reference images to generate the design. 16. I review the output, identify anything that looks wrong, and make further adjustments if needed. 17. I repeat this process until the design looks close to what I originally imagined. 🔑 The idea is simple: Don't let AI do all the thinking. 🔑 Use your own creativity to explore, select, combine, and improve ideas. 🔑 Let AI help you turn those ideas into a finished design. 💌 And finally, huge respect to the original designers and creators whose work inspires us. 💌 Their creativity, attention to detail, and countless hours of hard work are what make these designs possible in the first place. 💌 AI may help us create faster, but the creative minds behind the original work deserve the real credit.

PHOTOSHOP - FREE LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION !!! Yes, you heard that right. Well, a small correction: not from Adobe, but from another living legend, @echelon He vibecoded some of the most popular Adobe alternatives and made them completely free for a lifetime. And the interesting part? They're available on Linux too. Download them here: getartcraft.com/apps Here's the lineup: Adobe Photoshop ==> PhotoCraft Adobe Illustrator ==> VectorCraft Adobe Premiere Pro ==> FilmCraft Adobe Lightroom ==> LightCraft Adobe Acrobat ==> PdfCraft Adobe After Effects ==> EffectCraft Adobe InDesign ==> DesignCraft One more thing I really liked: all of these are built using Rust @playrust , one of the fastest and most powerful modern programming language. Rust gives you native performance, memory safety, and cross-platform support without relying on a garbage collector. If the project keeps expanding, it'll be interesting to see how far a Rust-based open-source ecosystem can go against traditional proprietary desktop software. And yes, they're all open source. But thats not all. If you check out the GitHub profile: github.com/storytold You'll find even more open-source tools that you can use in your daily life. No more Excel subscription!😁 Also if you are interested checkout their cloud subscription part as well. Open source is getting seriously interesting. Thanks @get_artcraft .
