Create A Virtual Product Shoot In Weavy & Nano Banana (fashion editorial)

Anyone who's produced a commercial fashion shoot knows the logistics are a nightmare. You’re juggling models, location permits, lighting rentals, weather, and expenses that eat your budget before you’ve even snapped the first frame. But now, that equation is different thanks to AI. Until recently, AI wasn't a viable alternative because it couldn't handle the most important thing: Product consistency. You could get a cool image, but the shoes would look wrong, or the logo... read more ›

How To Use Meta AI “Style Reference Seed” (vs Midjourney)

If you've started using Meta's new AI image generator confusingly called Meta AI, you’ve probably noticed it's fast, free, and surprisingly powerful. But if you’re like me, you immediately clicked the "Aesthetics" panel and saw a blank text box: "Style Reference Seed." And as you may have noticed, there's no official documentation for this. No tooltip. No guide. This is, essentially, an undocumented feature. This is not an official, exhaustive guide. It's just my personal... read more ›

How To Use Weavy’s “Prompt Concatenator” To Hack Your Creativity

Creative work is about exploration. It requires the freedom to try new ideas, make mistakes, and iterate until you find the perfect expression of your vision. When you work with standard text prompts, that process often feels rigid. You type a paragraph, wait for a result, and then have to rewrite the entire block of text just to change the lighting. It kills the flow. Weavy (aka Figma Weave) offers a different approach that brings... read more ›

Weavy vs Flora: Which is better for creative pros?

The first wave of AI image generation relied on simple text prompts—a linear process with unpredictable results. This was sufficient for experimentation, but professional workflows require repeatability, control, and scalability. The industry is now moving toward node-based "intelligent canvases." These platforms replace the black-box nature of simple prompting with visual programming. Instead of hoping for a lucky result, you build a visible pipeline where every step—from the initial model to the final color grade—is editable.... read more ›

Webflow vs Framer: Which is better for creative pros?

Choosing the right tool to build your online presence is one of the most critical decisions a creative professional can make, much like the Affinity Studio vs Adobe Creative Cloud debate for design software. Your website isn't just a digital business card; it's your gallery, your storefront, and your primary point of contact with clients and collaborators. The platform you build it on dictates what you can create, how fast you can ship, and how... read more ›

Gemini 3 is here: And HOLY CRAP it’s good…

Yesterday, Google released Gemini 3. You've probably seen people highlighting benchmark scores, Elo ratings, technical comparisons to OpenAI, etc. If you're a developer or a data scientist, those numbers matter. But if you are a photographer, a designer, a filmmaker, or an entrepreneur, you likely have a different question: Does this actually change how I work? I've spent quite a bit of time with the Gemini 2.5 Pro and after experimenting a bit with Gemini... read more ›

What the heck is ComfyUI? And is it right for creative pros?

The creative landscape is flooded with AI tools that promise instant art at the push of a button. You type a sentence, you get an image. It's a neat trick, but for a working professional, it's often an incomplete solution. The lack of fine-grained control, the inability to replicate a style consistently, and the "black box" nature of these simple generators make them novelties, not reliable production tools. The real potential of generative AI isn't... read more ›

What the heck is “Vibe Coding,” and why should you care?

You've probably seen people talk about "vibe coding." It was original coined by Andrej Karpathy as a tongue-in-cheek term, but it's caught on as a way to refer to the new style of software development where you let AI take the wheel. Essentially, you tell the AI what you want ("an app where I can upload a photo, it adds my watermark, and emails it to my client") and it will do the rest -... read more ›

Meta AI: Is it the “free Midjourney”? My in-depth review for creative pros.

You’ve probably seen a million headlines about "Meta AI."  But what may have gotten lost in the shuffle is that there’s an actual app called Meta AI - and that it’s essentially a free version of Midjourney, the incredibly powerful image generation app. And when I say that it's a version of MidJourney, I don't mean Meta knocked it off. I mean it's literally built on MidJourney's technology: they announced a formal partnership between the... read more ›

Affinity Studio vs Adobe Creative Cloud for creative pros: It just got real

For years, the battle for your creative desktop wasn't much of a battle at all. For professionals, Adobe was the only real choice—the industry standard. It was the Coke, the Nintendo. Any alternative, including Affinity, was often dismissed as the "cheap" option, the Pepsi or the Sega: a clunky substitute for those who couldn't afford the real thing. But over the past few years, something shifted. Affinity patiently built a powerful, fast, and streamlined suite... read more ›
