Hello, creatives of Fishbowl! I wanted to vent/discuss the surge in AI-generated visuals lately. I'm feeling a mix of fascination and concern. These tools are impressive! This poster took me one prompt to generate. I can't help but wonder if a human touch will always be important or if graphic designers are soon going to be redundant. How are you all dealing with the dilemma?

I don't know if it's because of the clientele our agency has but we don't ever make light-hearted, intriguing creatives like this with minimal copy and design. It's almost always video content or posts meant for their social media pages. Might sound like a silly question but what does the process from receiving a brief to executing a creative like this look like?

If you feel dead inside, create. Make something—anything—that matters. Don’t wait for permission. Start now, and let your vision lead to something truly yours.

Am I the only one that thinks when an agency have more account peps than creatives it’s a major red flag? (Might have been blessed by working at some creatively lead shops in the past)
