AI has eaten the bottom end of graphic design really fast. No one really talks about it, because who is talking about the design of local takeaway leaflets or whatever? But it's an unmistakable style and I'm seeing it more and more.

@tomw i have been a graphic designer / design leader for 15 years, and the consequences have been enough for me to start to wonder if i am going to have work in this field ever again.

between canva and genai, the value of art has sunk to basically nothing. now, there is no intellectual basis for average people to understand that logos, despite their simplicity, used to require a rare and unusual set of skills. i can make a logo with 6 words — why should I pay a designer?

@mitch I mean you/we do have the advantage that both Canva and AI suck really hard. Unfortunately most people don't notice
