Nice one, Dave. I definitely get the sense the robot is disintegrating, or melting into another dimension.

AlanGilbertson

Care to share your process and the tools you used?

AlanGilbertson

I love the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Skillfully done!

If you're compositing in Photoshop, the new Substance Viewer will in combination with Photoshop beta will do what you need.

That's certainly on-topic. I can't tell how you built the scene. Can you share the process, and which products you used besides Firefly?

AlanGilbertson · Jun 11, 2025

Nice work, Olga! The well-chosen type and color harmonies pull it all together beautifully.

AlanGilbertson · Jun 11, 2025

That's superb, Kathrin, and the typography is perfection! Can you share some details about your workflow and process to build the image?

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 10, 2025

That is such a wonderful Minion vibe! Perfect expression, perfect pose. Superb.

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 10, 2025

Zebedee! I can hear the "boing" now!

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 10, 2025

That's awesome! The worm is a brilliant little detail that makes the whole thing extra special.

Imagine a mega-corporation of the future, where all the boring work is done by robots. HR is now RR: “Robotic Resources.” Humans have flipped the script, and now the bots must apply for jobs, like our robot friend here. Use your imagination. What does the robot hiring process look like? Build out your scene using at least Firefly and Photoshop or Photoshop for Web. Remember: This is the Cross-Product Challenge. One app is not enough, and one image from a prompt is definitely not enough! You don’t have to be an expert! This is for anyone at any skill level. The main thing is to have fun and let your imagination run free.

Or more people would wear hoodies. The proliferation of cameras was the genesis of the hoodie fashion, according to persons of that generation.

Based on the exceptionally skinny "landing gear," it's either an RC plane in not-very-good shape or it's genAI. EIther way, it's loosely based on a Cessna 152.

Haven't seen Titan in a long time. I love what you've done with the place! (And, yeah, I'm looking forward to Dragonfly, too!)

Lady of the forest passes the tiny village in the evening light. (Style and Composition references.)

A clever designer named Mo, Thought he'd give the new challenge a go. He typed in some lines He was sure would be fine, And produced an old wizard who glowed!

I have all sorts of old stock photos on one of my drives. Every so often, like in this case, I find a use for one! London is famously awash in surveillance cameras, so this seemed like a natural combination.

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 07, 2025

"Eye eye eye," part 2. (In which a flipped AI image gives a convincing illusion of a London street.) It turns out that Firefly is so convinced about how traffic goes that it will take a London street scene as a composition reference and flip all the traffic so that it's driving on the right-hand side of the road. So I flipped the image. ¯\(°_o)/¯

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 07, 2025

"Eye eye eye... What have we here?" (In which a photograph of London public transport gives a convincing illusion of AI.)

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 07, 2025

Great stuff! Firefly clearly didn't do physics in school, but the luxury resort vibe is great and that's great typography for the theme.

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 06, 2025

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the "Auto-add Adobe fonts" preference (under "File Handling," for some reason. A number of problems surfaced, starting around mid-2023, that traced to this preference being turned on, as it is by default. Turning it off made the problem go away. I'd strongly recommend trying this, especially if you have fully licensed and installed fonts that are also available as Adobe Fonts download.

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 06, 2025

Welcome, Rodrigo! That's beautiful, simple, and tells the story perfectly. Upload it again using the "Insert Photo" icon so it shows for everyone.

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 04, 2025

I like that: a genuine vacation cruise to gnarly, vaguely Middle-Earth tourist spots!

AlanGilbertson · ‎Jun 02, 2025

Welcome, Sarah. If you download the PDF and export it as a jpeg or png, you can upload that to your post. It's a good-looking poster, and it deserves to be seen.

AlanGilbertson · ‎May 31, 2025

Hi Ayesha. Thanks for sharing your thought process. Nice work!

AlanGilbertson · ‎May 30, 2025

I have this radical notion that a brief is something you're supposed to follow. 🙄 Decades of client work will do that to a guy. Besides, it gave me a chance to use my favorite Mars panorama again, a stock photo I've not had a use for, and some tiny seagulls from an old beach photo.

AlanGilbertson · ‎May 30, 2025

When I was at Glasgow University I lived in Maryhill. Apparently it's gotten a lot muddier than when I was there.

AlanGilbertson · ‎May 30, 2025

Take it the rest of the way, Ali. Show us your poster design chops!

AlanGilbertson · ‎May 30, 2025

Terrific demonstration of where you can take a design when you enhance Firefly with some imagination and creativity! Wonderful!

AlanGilbertson · ‎May 30, 2025

Hi Colby. That is a superb take on the theme, and beautifully done. Excellent choice of fonts, and I love the playful way the alligator masks the slogan. Great job!
