    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

    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.

    *So many Supermans

        If it was real. There would be overweight Deadpools, methed out Harley Quinns, various Plague doctors, obligatory furries, a sea of weebs, and the random spin off comic character no one remembers but the dude wearing it is dying to tell you about it.

        I did see a 7ft tall drag queen Beetlejuice once in fishnets with platform heels waiting at the snack station with me. That was actually awesome, wish I got a picture.

        Comic cons are just excuses to dress up outside Halloween.

    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).

    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.

    My last job was small, like 4 people small. The owner loved Ai. She would use it for everything. One day i decided to redo one of her menus. Im not a graphic artist. I have no training in it at all, but i jumped on Gimp and made a prototype. She loved it and raved at how much better it was than hers. Imagine if i was an actual graphic designer…

    Dude. Or when an actual musician advertises with ai art? Like, bro, you could have just used sharpie on lined paper and it would have been better. There’s one like that that has signs up near where I live and every time I see it I’m just like BRUH. And then a few weeks ago at a public event I SAW THE MUSICIAN PLAYING, NEXT TO THEIR SIGN! I felt so bad for how stupid they were. Everybody avoided them like they were covered in shit. It was bad.
