    When going to work I pass two stores. One has an AI slop vomit of a poster, over fill with information and yet says nothing

    The other has a simple blackboard. It still looks way better than the other

    Ugh, I hate these. It makes me think: you cut corners on your flyer, something everyone sees, so what kinda corners do you cut where it’s hidden from your clients??

    Edit: Gross, this showed up on my news feed. A marathon event in Japan got caught using AI for their poster. They said “was made by an illustrator,” but later apologized saying it should have said, “made by a graphic designer.” Is this what graphic designers do now? I went to school for that and freelanced about 20 years ago, but I drew my own shit or manipulated actual photos and videos that my clients gave me.

      They’re all over Facebook. I don’t know why people do it, it makes them look like scam companies that don’t exist. All with that same horrific dead smiling AI face.

    A Comic con did this with comic artist appearing at the event. What a slap in the face.

    Also the MASSIVE theft of intellectual properties.

    Just go pay a few high school students to make your flyer.

    They’ll do it happily. I did stuff like this in school and I’d charge like $30/hr (15+ years ago) and everyone was very happy. Your offer should be even higher today.

    If you want to make a flyer, call your local high school, ask to talk to the art or communications technology teachers, and ask what they think. The kids would love stuff for their portfolios, and I’m pretty sure kids like money too.

    Or you can call your local art store, or find an artist to commission online. Or you could make a crappy flyer yourself without AI (please include date + location).

        Then don’t pay those kids.

        You meet them, walk through what you want, price, time estimate, write it down, then check back when they’re done.

        But I’m guessing that the teachers, if they’re okay with this, would point you towards the more interested kids.
