I did it because AI is trendy. And ultimately, I did it because it’s easier to say than the truth, which is “ I work on a product with features that are powered by AI technology. ” It sounds like a technicality, but lately the distinction seems more important than ever.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real.
