In my view, 2023 marked the year AI-tech stepped boldly into the creative scene, with various campaigns and projects tapping into this fresh realm of image and video generation. I too dove headfirst into the world of artificial technology. Here's a peek at my explorations.

what if Boris was a...
Utilized midjourney's text prompt alongside a lone reference image of Boris Becker. My objective was to craft a trilogy of album covers, each richly infused with tennis terminology, but visually representing distinct music genres – so i asked myself: What if Boris was a gangster rapper, country singer or rock musician. My top pick? No doubt, the rap album takes the crown. But hey, what's your take on it?
Muppetized media.
I have one guilty pleasure when it comes to media—the Muppets. I don't know why or when it started, but I've always had a soft spot for the Muppet renditions of classic movies. So, naturally, I took it upon myself to create a series of my own "Muppetized media"
the /imagineers series.
In the middle of 2023, I had the chance to make Midjourney accessible to all S&F Commerce employees. As a senior art director, my aim is to boost the skills of those around me and provide guidance wherever needed. So, it was a no-brainer to extend this approach to the realm of AI. Starting in 2024, I want to host a monthly series of creative sessions and competitions, giving everyone the chance to learn how to apply these tools to their projects and tasks. Of course, i already created the titles for those sessions in Midjourney – inspired by pop-culture and different art styles.

daily dose of midjourney
I use Midjourney on an almost daily basis, delving into the different options the tool offers to further educate myself in the skills of prompt Engineering, stylizing and recreation. Most of the examples here are prompted with the V5 model of Mj –and different experimentations of prompt writing.
