For information I work with AI systems and am very familiar with MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Leonardo etc and I'm quite capable of generating good images using these tools. I've come to DesignCrowd because I want to tap into the great talent I see on here.

If you submit something to me that clearly looks like it was AI generated I will question this and most likely will steer away from those submissions and favour what I can tell is human creativity and effort.

Thanks

Hi Everyone - some tips based on the submissions I am seeing so far.

1. READ THE BRIEF .... please - a few of the submissions so far clearly have not done so.
2. "Fungi are the Future - let's bring to life their relationship with woodland ecosystems" is the title of the piece - it's not some wording to include on the design. I'm ok with including the words 'Fungi are the future', but the rest of the line is a request to you as a designer, to 'bring this to life', not part of the design.
3. try to think a bit outside the box - there are some quite cliched ideas appearing

I think you should be more specific what exactly is what you want? 'go wild - give me a truly breathtaking design' is quite generic and your logo is hard to work with, if it's not illustrative final product.

Can you upload visual inspirations?

Hi - Most designers have read the brief fully and understand what's required and are able to use their skills to come up with some great designs. Other folks do not like constructive feedback - and instead choose to express the view publically that I have not prvided enough inspiration. Others have just seen 'fungi' and sent me a design that's a picture of a mushroom, or stuck a basic prompt in midjourney to generate an AI image. My experience with DesignCrowd so far has been very mixed, hopefully will improve over coming days.
