My first portfolio, aged 19
Then & now
Until then here's something from my AI playground:
There was a time when all you needed was a marker, a pad and an idea. Now all you need is AI, apparently. Which got me thinking: what would 19-year-old me have done with tools like these?
This is a series from my first ever portfolio, next to their AI-generated cousins. I’ve tried to be faithful to the originals and not let my inner Creative Director ‘improve’ them. Not every ad was a masterpiece, but they did land me my first job. The AI versions aren’t perfect either. Some gems, some glitches, but most of all they’re a fun way to poke the beast.'
What do you think? Better? Worse? Does it boost creativity or distract from it?
