The two biggest names in the game are Squarespace and WordPress. They both offer paths to a professional-looking website, but they are fundamentally different tools designed for different types of users and goals. Making the wrong choice can lead to hours of frustration and a final product that doesn't truly represent the quality of your work. This isn't about which platform is "better" in a vacuum. It's about which platform is the right strategic asset...

The conversation around AI and creative work is deafening. It’s a mix of doomsday predictions and utopian fantasies, with most of it missing the point entirely. The real shift isn't about replacement; it's about a fundamental change in our role as creative professionals. Nowhere is this more apparent than inside Adobe Photoshop. For decades, it’s been the undisputed hub of our digital craft, a tool for meticulous, hands-on manipulation. But that's changing. Photoshop is evolving...

ChatGPT came out in November of 2022, but it didn’t really catch on until GPT 4 in 2024. But the viral “Studio Ghibli” moment in May of 2025 was when AI became truly mainstream, and creatives could no longer ignore it. We’re now on the heels of ChatGPT 5.1, and it’s more clear than ever: there are very real concerns about AI (replacing creatives, ethical issues, etc), but the fact of the matter is that...

If you saw the recent news about Figma acquiring Weavy (renamed Figma Weave) and thought, "OK but WTF is Weavy?" you're not alone! It's a relatively new, but incredible app. Weavy is a node-based platform engineered for creative teams and enterprises. Think of it less as a single AI model and more as a central hub or workbench that connects various AI models and editing tools into one unified workflow. Instead of jumping between Nano...

Should photographers, designers and other creative pros be on TikTok as a marketing platform? The answer is maybe - and it largely depends on your mindset. The biggest hurdle for experienced professionals on TikTok is their experience. The habits and best practices learned from years of building a presence on Instagram, Behance, or a personal website don't apply here. In fact, they are often a liability. You have to unlearn the "portfolio mindset" to win....

Midjourney is incredible, full stop. With its v7 model and a polished web interface, it’s a creative powerhouse that has set the bar for quality and aesthetic. For a long time, it’s been the undisputed king of AI image generation (and still is IMO). But if you’re on a budget, it may not be an option when the “Mega Plan” is $1,152 a year. That said, if you’re a pro, you’re not just looking for...

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...

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...

AI image generation tools have been bubbling for a while, but they truly exploded into the mainstream when the "Studio Ghibli" filter trend went viral, powered by the release of ChatGPT-4. Since then, it’s been impossible to ignore the flood of new apps like Midjourney, ComfyUI, Higgsfield, etc - all capable of creating stunning, surreal, and sometimes bizarre images from a simple text prompt. The latest name in this conversation is Nano Banana Pro (Google's...
