My last post was published on May 29, and we've been non-stop busy since then. I had just started experimenting with AI tools, and wrote a post about the experience. AI artwork generation has changed a lot in the past seven months, and I just designed my first "AI enhanced" ad this week.

I worked with New Orleans Steamboat Company this summer to develop a set of ads for the Steamboat NATCHEZ, Gray Line New Orleans and Café Beignet.

When a print design, or a even a web page or app page are crowded with elements, it looks crowded. It looks messy. It looks like something a used car salesman would do in a newspaper ad. Okay for showing lots of information about lots of cars, but not very elegant or professional looking.
I'm a former newspaper layout and design editor, so I can appreciate this super creative use of a typically boring space.

For an interesting twist on the U.S. propaganda poster, check out these Star Wars Propaganda Posters designed by illustrator Russell Walks.
I recently redesigned an outdoor advertising campaign for the Louisiana Credit Union league. Last year, they gave me strict instructions to adapt a design that was used in California to the Louisiana market.
