How is Human Photo Editing Better Than AI Editing?

The world of photo editing is changing incredibly fast. New AI tools are arriving with the ability to instantly remove skin blemishes or change the backgrounds of photos. However, as for perfect photo editing, manual work is still considered to be one of the best options. 

There are many Online Photo Enhancer Company such as Global Photo Edit, where professional photo editors play the key role having professional skill with artistic sense. They work on all the aspects of brightness, contrast, and angles, and could turn an ugly duckling into a swan. As more and more AI image tools and apps are flooding the market, it's time to decode how human editors are better than AI. 

Professionals at Online Photo Enhancer Company vs AI Image Editing 

Creativity and Vision

Digital media editing tools powered by AI are trained on large datasets of image files and hence it mimics certain styles and effects. However, they do not possess the creativity and vision as a human editor. An experienced editor should be able to understand your requirements and provide the particular edit required for the picture. 

For instance, if you have a product photo for your online selling store. An AI tool might enhance the image and perhaps eliminate small defects. A human editor, however, can do much more than just that. 

It can construct an interesting image, draw attention to the particular merits of the product, and generate a certain emotional response from the audience. This is where Invisible Mannequin Photo Retouching Services will be of so much help. These services outset the mannequin reducing the product and its details into the background leaving the product alone and looking professional.

Attention to Detail

Though, AI can work very quickly to make basic edits but here it lacks the elements of critical perception in a picture. We believe that a human editor is far more capable of eradicating disturbances in the video, regulating light or shading in certain territories, and providing the outcome authentic and genuine looking. 

For example, imagine that you and your family are in a favourite picture; nevertheless, there is something in the background which is rather unpermitted. An AI tool might face some issues using them and might fail to remove it completely, perhaps even leaving behind traces or making the objects look quite unnatural. While a human editor at Online Photo Enhancer Company can go through the design, notice the offending object and delicately remove it without damaging the other parts of the design. 

Advanced Techniques and Expertise

The image editing professionals have considerable knowledge of sophisticated editing tools like dodging and burning, frequency separation, selective color adjustment features, etc. These techniques give one sort of control over one area of an image, and as such yields a neater and more professional look. 

For instance, you have a portrait photo that has been done on different lighting and has uneven skin tones. An AI tool might provide the option to select ‘skin-smoothing’ by default which can make the skin look very fake most of the time. 

A human editor can apply frequency separation to skin tones, and then retain the natural look by preserving the skin’s tones and details. Having such expertise ensures that the project is edited flawlessly and makes the work look more realistic. 

Understanding Your Vision

It is not just about having the proper tools and getting the skills to use them; it also involves the ability to convey what you want. A human editor will be in a position to possibly consult on what you would want to see and the overall aim could be either an aesthetic one, emotional one or a technical one. 

For instance, you may have a travel photo as the background image, with perfect scenery but little, or no liveliness. An Online Photo Enhancer Company such as the Global Photo Edit can sit down with you and help improve on colors and even add contrast to the scene making it more real but not so much as it appears photoshopped. This way of working together makes sure that the final result is a perfect match with your idea. 

Flexibility and Customization

AI photo editors use those tools that have a narrow set of predefined filters and other enhancements available. Smart and sensible human editors can approach each of the images uniquely and this means that real custom editing can be made. 

Suppose you had a series of old family photos that need to be restored. An AI tool may be unable to adapt to the particularities of aged photographs, namely, low contrast or scratched images. Such a photo can be restored by a hired human editor without losing its face value and historical reality. 

Conclusion

Despite such technological advancements that will aid human editors through AI editing tools, there is no way artificial intelligence will completely substitute human editors. 

As many clients have testified, for exceptional results, superior quality, and a personal touch, the human touch cannot be beaten when it comes to photos. We have seen how companies, such as Global Photo Edit develop an extensive list of services available, including Invisible Mannequin Photo Retouching Services, to online product photo editing and more with a team of experts.

-

Last week a man who lived down the street was taken and disappeared. People are talking about it. It was the employees of the Space Pet Home Company who caught him. Those disrespectful aliens roam the galaxies, capturing random species to sell. This is contemptible. Still, there's nothing anyone can do about it. Under the gaze of a powerful space civilization, the planet you live in is trampled like ants.

On the way home, you browsed the news with your mobile phone, and found that some people searched for the man's photo and selling price on the official website, and posted it on the discussion forum. They offer to raise funds to buy him back to the planet. This is already the most likely way to redeem them to their original planet. You clicked on a link to the pet company's website. Ironically, that's a cute design with clouds and a rainbow, and a little animation that brings the pet home. The website loaded for a while, and a picture of the man was displayed. He looked at the camera with a calm expression on his face. You have no idea what they did to him.

Name: ▄▆▄▂▅▅▄▃

Price: 200000

Below is a description of the pet. You read a few words and feel so sick and horrified. There is also "More Recommendations", which introduces pets of different species, from cats, tentacles, humans to supernatural creatures.

You close the page and want to donate some money. However, you feel a cold, prickly sensation in the back of your neck.

Half a second later, as if stepping on air in the sky, you plummet.

-

Blade was more irritable than ever. This time, the target of the mission made a provocation, leaving some traces, deliberately mocking them. He then "solved" them, a little rougher than usual. The problem is, for the next three days, he was just as "rough". He even declined Silver Wolf's invitation to play a racing game together. Silver Wolf remained expressionless, indicating that she didn't care, but the atmosphere became a little depressed.

"Bladie, did you know? Elio said you're getting a pet this month."

"I don't need a pet." No doubt, that's stupid.

Kafka's eyes narrow, and smiles. She said in a certain, seductive tone. "Are you sure? Imagine getting that little kiss after a mission…kneeling down to relieve you…"

"No," he snapped, getting up and walking into the darkness.

-

"Currently scanning for physical condition-"

"Number E92730012 is in good condition. Everything is fine."

"Suggestion: Transform the nipples into a breast-feeding state, and add drugs to enhance sensitivity."

You are in a coma, two robotic arms grab your hand and stretch out, and two needles are aimed at your nipples on both sides to inject medicine. Some subtle changes are transforming your boobs.

"Hmm…" Your head shook slightly, but your eyelids were so heavy that you couldn't open them, and you could only bear the sensitivity and a little pain on your chest. The machine continued to inject the medicine without mercy, and gradually, some white milk flowed out from the flower buds, dripping on the ground, exuding a sweet smell.

-

Not this… and not this.

None of them fit.

If the other Stellaron Hunters saw Blade now, they'd think he was nostalgic about something and wouldn't bother. No one knew he was looking at the official website of Space Pet House. He has searched with keywords, but the results are still not what he wants.

He decided to go to the store in person.

-

It's been three days, maybe… five days?

You can't believe that you've been captured and sold as a pet. The store was decorated like some kind of spider web, some kind of hideous lair. Placed across from you are about thirty transparent cages of various species, including six humans. Some people try to resist like you, slapping the cage and cursing at the clerk, only to get some accusing looks from them, like they are really looking at a naughty pet. Some had given up and stayed quietly in the cage, looking at the guests curiously.

Your neck is covered with a black lace choker and a heart bell. Clean water, food and toys are placed in the cage. You can't believe it and don't want to play with those toys for cats.

When those guests visit, they always whisper which pet is better and more suitable. Among all the customers, you are impressed by a certain man. His dark blue fringe draped over his forehead, and his waist was covered with long hair. His hair dangles along with certain bandages as he walks around the store. He's… charming, in every sense of the word, but creepy, with those red eyes that wander from cage to cage and finally stare at the cage you're in. This situation lasts for tens of minutes, scanning your information and prices.

You don't know if he wants to buy you, because when the clerk asks if he needs to go further and allow him to play with you for a while, he just walks away.

-

"It's been seven days… still no one wants to buy this pet. Why…"

"Maybe we can help."

-

"No…don't! Please! Please, I'll be good!"

You plead as you struggle. The clerk still pulls down your sheer clothes, exposing your breasts and locking your hands above your head. The tears in your eyes are swirling, whimpering, thick milk flowing down the swollen breasts.

The door bell rang and two guests came in. They looked around the store. When they caught a glimpse of you, their eyes visibly lit up and they walked in your direction.

"Today's special offer, milk production anytime...?" One of the guests read out the information under your cage in a low voice - that's the first time you know what's written there. The way they look at your naked breasts seems to be on fire in you. "sounds good."

"Didn't know you were interested in that." Another guest snickered.

"Such a beautiful little thing can change my mind. I hope this time the pet will not be destroyed so quickly…"

You shudder at the implications of his words - this is a lunatic who isn't taking care of pets. what should you do? What if you were bought by this person? You may be facing a more dire situation than you are now…

There is a raging and dangerous atmosphere wandering in the store. You see that familiar face from behind the two customers. He stood behind them, but didn't seem to see them at all. He feels his crotch tighten when he notices your breasts dripping with milk.

-

He licks away any sweet milk that pervades your swollen buds, sweet, rich, and creamy. His hand is rubbing your other breast and pinching your nipple. It doesn't take much force, the milk is already squirting. Your bewildered moan turns into a scream as your lower body bounces, the fluid squirting against his cock.

In the orgasm, you stick out your tongue, address him unconsciously, and touch his palm. It's cold.

"Blade." He said his name.

“…?”

You touch his chest, where the heart is beating and echoing. A warm feeling sinks in.

Ten Million Downloads for the Photo App 'SODA'… Criticism Over AI Being Out of Control Subsidiary of Naver, Snow, Responds Mechanically to AI-Generated Inappropriate Content

Snow, a subsidiary of Naver and the creator of the camera application 'SODA', has come under fire for generating sexually inappropriate images using its AI editing function. The company has stated that it "cannot 100% control AI-generated content," sparking criticism from experts who argue that commercializing an uncontrollable AI service is irresponsible. SODA is a popular camera app with over 10 million downloads on the Google Play Store.

Ms. G, an office worker, complained in an online messenger conversation with Hankyoreh on the 9th, “I didn't expect to feel shame while using the app. It's so unpleasant and traumatizing.” On the 4th, she applied the 'AI background expansion' feature, a paid service of the Soda app, to her photo. The intention was to correct the photo, which was cropped in the middle of her shoulders, to show her entire upper body, but the AI generated a result that made her appear to be clutching her chest with both hands. The rest of the results were normal, but Ms. G said it was hard to get over the shock of the image she suddenly received while using the app.

In response, Snow explained, “Due to the nature of the service that applied A.I. technology, the result was unexpected.” Snow explained that the AI-generated images are filtered to remove offensive or sexualized images as much as possible before they are finally displayed to the user, but this feature did not work perfectly in G's case.

However, experts argue that the issue is more complex. The core problem lies in the AI image generation engine applied to the SODA app, called 'Stable Diffusion'. Developed primarily by the UK startup Stability AI, it was revealed that this model had included explicit content in its training data. Professor Kim Myung-joo of Seoul Women’s University (Information Security) explained, “Unlike other AI models, Stable Diffusion was designed to generate graphic images and included pornographic content in its training data, which has raised concerns since its release.”

Experts are calling for measures like age restrictions on the app to prevent irresponsible commercialization. At the moment, SODA is rated for use by individuals aged 3 and older. Jang Yeo-gyeong, the director of the Information Rights Research Institute, stated, "Even if it doesn't lead to sexual exploitation, consumers who suffer mental harm from AI tools should be able to hold the companies that release these services accountable. Snow's response that 'current technology can't prevent this' is irresponsible."

In response to The Hankyoreh, a Snow representative said, "All companies utilizing AI are struggling to address issues like this. We are working to enhance the service by strengthening filters to prevent similar cases in the future."

카메라 애플리케이션(앱) ‘소다’(SODA)의 인공지능(AI) 편집 기능이 성적 불쾌감을 일으키는 사진을 생성한 사례가 발생한 것에 대해 이 앱을 만든 네이버의 자회사 스노우가 ‘인공지능 생성물을 100% 통제할 수 없다’는 입장을 내놨다. 통제할 수 없는 인공지능 서비스를 상업화한 것에 대해 무책임한 행태라는 전문가들의 지적이 나온다. 소다는 스마트폰 앱 장터인 ‘구글 플레이 스토어’에서 1000만회 이상 다운로드된 인기 카메라 앱이다.

직장인 ㄱ씨는 9일 한겨레와 온라인 메신저 대화를 통해 “앱을 사용하다 수치심을 느낄 줄 몰랐다. 너무 불쾌하고 정신적 충격이 크다”고 호소했다. 그는 지난 4일 소다 앱의 유료 서비스인 ‘인공지능 배경 확장’ 기능을 자신의 증명사진에 적용했다. 어깨 부분 중간에 잘린 증명사진을 상반신 전체가 나오는 모습으로 보정하려는 의도였는데, 실제 인공지능이 생성한 결과물에선 자신이 가슴을 양손으로 움켜쥐고 있는 듯한 모습이 나왔다. 이 이미지를 제외한 다른 나머지 결과에선 정상적인 사진이 나왔지만, ㄱ씨는 앱을 사용하다 갑자기 받은 이미지의 충격에서 벗어나기 힘들었다고 했다.

이에 대해 스노우 쪽은 “인공지능 기술이 적용된 서비스의 특성상 결과물이 예상치 못한 형태로 구현된 것”이라고 설명했다. 인공지능이 생성한 이미지를 사용자에게 최종적으로 노출하기 전 필터 기술을 통해 모욕적이거나 선정적인 이미지를 최대한 제거하고 있지만, ㄱ씨의 사례에선 이 기능이 완벽하게 작동하지 않았다고도 설명했다.

하지만 문제가 간단치 않다는 게 전문가들의 지적이다. 소다 앱에 적용된 인공지능 이미지 생성 엔진인 ‘스테이블 디퓨전’ 자체에 문제가 있다는 이유에서다. 스테이블 디퓨전은 영국 스타트업 ‘스태빌리티 에이아이(AI)’가 개발을 주도한 모델인데, 개발 단계에서 음란물을 학습 데이터에 포함시킨 것으로 알려져 있다. 김명주 서울여대 교수(정보보호학)는 “다른 인공지능 모델과 달리 스테이블 디퓨전은 그래픽 이미지를 생성하기 위한 목적으로 포르노 영상물을 학습 데이터에 포함했기 때문에 공개될 때부터 많은 우려가 제기됐다”고 말했다.

전문가들은 소다 앱의 이용자 연령을 제한하는 등의 방식으로 기업의 무책임한 상업화를 막아야 한다고 지적했다. 현재 소다 앱은 3살 이상이면 누구나 사용할 수 있다. 장여경 정보인권연구소 상임이사는 “성착취물로 연결되지 않는다고 해도 인공지능 도구로 정신적 피해를 입은 소비자들이 서비스를 출시한 기업에 대해 최소한의 주의 의무를 요구할 수 있���야 한다”며 “‘현재 기술로는 막을 수 없다’는 스노우의 태도는 무책임하다”고 꼬집었다.

스노우 관계자는 한겨레에 “인공지능을 활용하는 모든 회사가 이번과 같은 이슈를 해결하기 위해 분투하고 있다. 유사한 사례가 발생하지 않도록 필터를 더욱 강화하는 등 서비스 고도화를 노력하겠다”고 했다.

Google Photos Introduces AI Labels: A Step Towards Transparency and Better Image Editing

In the era of advanced image manipulation, Google Photos, regarded by many as the best app to edit pictures, is rolling out a new feature that identifies when a photo has been edited using artificial intelligence (AI) tools. This update reflects Google’s commitment to AI transparency and is designed to help users distinguish between authentic images and those modified with AI. As AI tools become more accessible, these labels will play a crucial role in preventing misinformation and ensuring user trust.

AI Transparency in Google Photos

Google is integrating labels to clearly mark any image edited with  artificial intelligence. This will help users track the use of AI tools, ensuring they know when a picture has been altered. These labels aim to promote transparency, as photo edits—while creative and helpful—can sometimes be used to manipulate reality. Users will be able to access these details by simply swiping up on any image in Google Photos, which will display metadata such as the location, camera used, and AI-related information.

Transparency is becoming increasingly essential as companies integrate AI into their platforms. For example, Instagram, owned by Meta, has also introduced AI labels to address the rise of deep fakes and manipulated content. In a world where manipulated media is prevalent, these steps are critical to maintain trust and credibility across platforms.

Google’s AI Tools: Powerful Yet Responsible

Google has been a leader in AI innovation, offering tools like the Magic Editor within Google Photos, which many users consider the best app to edit pictures. These tools allow users to make advanced edits with ease, but Google understands that with great power comes responsibility. By adding AI labels, the company aims to prevent misuse and educate users about the impact of AI on photo editing.

AI can enhance creativity by offering suggestions, removing distractions from photos, and improving the overall aesthetic. However, it is equally important to use these tools responsibly. If you’re seeking image editing tips, Google encourages users to explore these features while also being mindful of how such edits affect the authenticity of images.

Why AI Transparency Matters

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, companies need to ensure that users can trust the content they see online. AI-generated or modified content can blur the line between reality and fiction, leading to potential misuse. Google’s decision to label AI-edited images ensures that people can differentiate between real and altered visuals, which is especially important in today’s digital landscape.

These labels also play a crucial role in educating users. As people explore the best app to edit pictures with advanced AI tools, they gain awareness of how artificial intelligence  can both enhance and alter imagery. For instance, the Magic Editor allows users to change elements in a photo with just a few clicks, but the AI label will ensure transparency. For those interested in image editing tips, knowing what tools were used on a photo offers valuable insights into editing techniques.

Other Platforms Following Suit

Google is not the only company moving towards greater transparency with artificial intelligence tools. Meta has introduced similar labels on Instagram to address the growing concerns about manipulated media. As these tools become more accessible, ensuring transparency becomes critical to maintaining trust. AI has the potential to reshape digital content, but without clear communication, it can also mislead viewers.

Conclusion

The introduction of AI labels in Google Photos is a thoughtful move that reflects Google’s focus on responsibility and transparency. As AI becomes more integrated into photo editing, these labels ensure that users remain informed about the origin of modified content. Whether you’re using Google Photos to enhance your memories or seeking image editing tips, understanding how artificial intelligence tools shape your images is essential. AI is changing the world we should take appropriate & true steps to learn it by reading AI related blogs & news articles.

By providing clear AI labels, Google Photos not only strengthens user trust but also solidifies its reputation as the best app to edit pictures. This change empowers users with transparency and encourages the responsible use of AI tools, helping them create stunning images while staying informed.

* ◟ : 〔 ANYA TAYLOR-JOY, NONBINARY + SHE / THEY 〕 OPAL FONTAINE , some say you’re a TWENTY SEVEN YEAR OLD lost soul among the neon lights. known for being both DRIVEN and CONFRONTATIONAL, one can’t help but think of MERMAIDS by FLORENCE + THE MACHINE when you walk by. are you still an ASSOCIATE / HEADLINE PERFORMER for THE BURNING GODS / OLD WORLD CASINO, even with your reputation as THE STAR? i think we’ll be seeing more of you and LIMBS THAT APPEAR TRANSLUCENT IN CERTAIN LIGHTING, A FAMILIAR FACE HIDDEN BEHIND A MASK, DRESSES MADE FROM BLOOD DIAMONDS, although we can’t help but think of OPHELIA (HAMLET) + AVA (EX-MACHINA) + LIZZY WIZZY (CYBERPUNK 2077) whenever we see you down these rainy streets.

FULL NAME: Opal Anette Fontaine NICKNAME(S): Opie, Anette AGE: Twenty-Seven GENDER: Nonbinary PRONOUNS: She/They BIRTHPLACE: Paris, France OCCUPATION: Headline Performer & Model GANG AFFILIATION: Associate of Burning Gods FC: Anya Taylor Joy

APPEARANCE

HAIR COLOUR: Dyed platinum blonde, originally dark brown. EYE COLOUR: Brown HEIGHT: 5”7 PIERCINGS?:Both ears. TATTOOS: None.

TRAITS

POSITIVE: Driven, Honest, Independent NEGATIVE: Confrontational, Secretive, Spoiled

BACKGROUND

TW gore, body mutilation, body issues,underage drinking, drugs, 

She remembers very little of her past, only what they’ve been re-taught by others. Opal has been in the spotlight since childhood - there are magazines and ads that show them as a child, be it for clothing or toys or jewelry, an accessory for their mother, the actress Brigette Fontaine. That is obvious, something that can be physically seen and understood, and with it comes very vague memories; Opal can remember being painted for pageants, can remember their mother smacking her chubby baby thighs and encouraging them to spit-take the sweets they chewed. Who’s papa? There are photos around their grand parisian home, a stern looking man with a cold gaze, a man who prioritizes work over family and is disappointed that Opal is not a man. When he has a son with another woman, there is a complete disappearance of him from her life.

They didn’t stay in Paris because now she’s in New York, a singer in a casino. America held better studios, better make-up and record companies that Opal could be thrown at. A few minor roles, nothing serious, teenage years spent on sitcoms as the ditzy french best friend, accent thick and played for laughs in front of a live studio audience. There is always a sense of discomfort for Opal when they watch these, as if it wasn’t a happy time, makes her skin crawl. Something bad happened, she cannot recall what. Parties came next, underaged in nightclubs and bars just barely 18 when pictures started showing up in papers of her in various states. Boyfriends twice her age, men with children younger than her taking her out to dinner. There are articles online Opal has read, comments still available after all these years. 

The accident was terrible. Still, nobody knows how it came about - did Brigette owe money? The former actress had been taking out loans to fuel an addiction to surgery and opioids. Or was it the absent father? Involved with arms dealings with Chinese triads and Saudi prince’s that had gone horribly wrong? Or was it Opal themselves? Drunk behind the wheel? Nobody knows, only the outcome is fact; that legally, Opal Fontaine should be dead. Two limbs crushed to a bloody pulp, spine cracked, blood spilling from her ears. And yet - she isn’t. Half of their body has become meshed with robotics, Opal a picture of modern cybernetic enhancements and what they can do. There was a price to it all, for stuff like that doesn’t come for free.

Brigette Fontaine dead, aged 58, overdose. All that debt is piled onto Opal who learns that their life was paid for with dirty money, an arrangement with a local gang Burning Gods. It was transferred to her, now a headline singer at Old World Casino, a shadow of who they were prior to the accident.

OTHER

Got a job at Old World Casino due to nepotism but is actually a good singer.

Hasn’t seen her younger half-brother before.

They have cybernetic enhancements, as their right leg and arm had to be completely replaced following the accident. Part of the spinal cord is also synthetic. These enhancements, particularly the one of their right hand, have allowed her to become oddly good with computers. 

Though in debt to the Burning Gods, she also works off some of that via doing a little hacking which is why her associate status isn’t chosen but almost contractual.

Still models occasionally for magazines. Their most recent one is becoming the face of Hi-Chew in America.

Speaks French, English and Korean.

Legally dead for 30 minutes.

Sells feet pics online.

Kind of a huge bitch actually.

The accident was about 5 years ago.

How Interesting Custom Illustrations Strengthen Your Brand

If you’ve looked deeply at any of the top brands, their images and designs, you’ve likely noticed that they’re customized to exemplify who they are as a company, and custom illustrations are probably a big part of that.

 In this blog, we’ll explain:

Why stock imagery isn’t the standard anymore

What custom brand illustrations are

Why illustrations are important

How it can benefit your organization

And where you can go for high-quality illustrations of your own

Why Don’t We Use Stock Imagery Anymore?

In print, custom illustration has always played a significant role. Still, in digital media, popularity is just now starting to match that demand. However, cheap stock photography became the norm in digital media, and the accessibility of stock imagery undercut custom illustrations in digital products.

Stock photography is typically forgettable and generic. You need to go through thousands of stock photos before finding the perfect image that precisely conveys your goals. 

Hiring a photographer for your brand can be expensive, and most newer companies and startups don’t have it in the budget to have one on retainer. Some photos can be great but not unique enough or evoke the wrong feelings. Web products and solutions are also challenging to find images for because they aren’t concrete items.

Custom brand illustration services can truly step and shine in this arena. Illustration in branding doesn’t have those same limitations because something can literally be created from scratch that suits your specific needs.

Why Are Custom Illustrations Important?

Thanks to social media, brands and consumers are more connected than ever. Content is created daily at lightning speeds, and businesses must find a way to stand out in that crowd of faced-paced advertising. By working with someone to create a custom illustration design that you can carry across all your assets, you’ll be able to:

Create a visual signature for your brand

Craft a brand story that’s consistent across platforms (social, print, web, etc.), and

Enhance connections with consumers by improving brand recognition

Let’s dive into the purpose of custom illustrations even more.

The Purpose Of Custom Illustration in Branding

Custom illustrations for your company are more than just decorative. They are amazing tools for communication with your target audience. In fact, it’s a significant part of modern UI thanks to its valuable ability to communicate concepts quickly and easily. They can show (or illustrate) your audience how your products or service work and enhance the written content.

Custom imagery can simplify complex ideas, which can be particularly important in tech products where it helps users understand the ins and outs of your service or software. As digital products and services become more abstract, illustrated metaphors become a more and more effective tool as they articulate what is happening in a simple way.

Illustration in business marketing enhances your brand identity, helping to create a unique, memorable style that your users can easily remember. Illustrations can capture and communicate feelings, foster strong emotional connections, and make online experiences feel more personal. They can humanize a brand and help it seem less cut off and distant.

The Mascot Effect

Nowadays, customers tend to stick with a brand once it's been drilled into their memory and they’ve had a chance to actually try it.

Brand mascots are an increasingly popular marketing strategy and help to personify your brand. A good mascot can help customers and clients strongly identify your brand with a certain product or service, creating a more memorable experience as the face of your business. 

These mascots can come in handy when you’re trying to communicate a product or service. It is especially crucial for web-based brands with no tangible product or service; here, a unique mascot gives viewers something to create that “relationship” when shopping. 

As with any other illustration, a great mascot enhances the user experience and acts as a friendly guide. It should never distract users.

How Can Custom Illustrations Help My Business?

Brand illustrations help companies stand out from the competition. They help a branding look to come together and create a seamless yet enjoyable user experience as they interact with your brand.

Instead of solely relying on a logo to do all your work, a logo/illustration combo allows your brand to create a host of assets that can work together across your marketing efforts. 

A strong, custom logo is extremely important. Still, you’ll truly kick things up a notch if you can expand on that icon with an illustration or set of illustrations.

Using custom illustrations for your website and print materials can also increase customer conversion rates. Whether selling a product or service or getting visitors to stop and read your articles or blog posts, you will likely retain more users if you use illustrative elements to break chunks of text.

What If I’m Not A Big Company? Can I Still Benefit From Custom Illustrations?

Not only do custom illustration designs benefit large companies, but they also work especially well for smaller brands and startups. Because logos, illustrations, and content can all work together to strengthen a brand, they’re valuable assets for any business. The graphics help strengthen the brand's values and connect the company to its target audience. The same thing goes for the character illustrations.

Building a strong brand foundation from the very beginning can be a huge benefit to companies just getting started and will save you the headache of trying to go back and connect everything when you’re already up and running. Add custom illustrations to your pre-launch marketing checklist.

What Is A Custom Illustration Service?

Custom brand illustration services can help you to create custom assets, from logos to mascots to illustrative umbrella designs. An important part of unlimited graphic design services, there are many companies online that offer monthly plans for a flat rate.

One of the top providers of custom illustrations is Flocksy.

Choosing the Right Printing Technology for Your Business Needs.

In today's dynamic business landscape, selecting the appropriate printing technology is crucial for ensuring efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness. With various printing options available, making an informed decision requires careful consideration of several factors.

Understanding Your Printing Requirements

Begin by comprehensively evaluating your business's printing needs. Consider the volume of printing required, the type of materials to be printed on, and the desired quality and speed. For instance, a small office with minimal printing needs might find a basic laser printer sufficient, while a printing company specializing in high-quality graphics will likely require advanced digital or offset printing solutions.

Types of Printing Technologies

Laser Printing: Ideal for high-speed printing of text documents and basic graphics. It's cost-effective for office settings with moderate printing demands.

Inkjet Printing: Versatile and capable of producing high-resolution images, making it suitable for small-scale graphic printing and photo printing.

Digital Printing: Offers flexibility for short print runs, variable data printing, and on-demand printing. Well-suited for businesses requiring quick turnaround times and customization.

Offset Printing: Known for its superior quality in large-volume printing. It involves a more complex setup but delivers high-quality prints for brochures, magazines, and marketing materials.

Considerations for Selection

Print Volume: Assess the quantity of printing your business regularly requires. If it's high, offset printing might be more cost-effective despite the setup costs.

Quality Requirements: Determine the level of print quality needed for your materials. Inkjet and digital printing usually offer better color accuracy and resolution compared to laser printing.

Turnaround Time: If your business frequently needs quick prints, digital printing provides faster results as it doesn’t require the setup time that offset printing does.

Budgetary Constraints: Evaluate the initial investment cost, maintenance expenses, and overall operational costs of different printing technologies. Sometimes, a higher initial investment may result in long-term savings.

Consulting with Printing Experts

Engage with printing industry professionals or vendors to gain insights into the latest printing technologies and their suitability for your specific business needs. They can provide valuable guidance based on their expertise and experience.

Conclusion

Choosing the right printing technology involves a thoughtful analysis of your business requirements, considering factors such as print volume, quality, speed, and budget. By understanding these parameters and consulting with experts, businesses can make informed decisions that optimize their printing processes and enhance overall efficiency.

PLEASE just use the coordinating colors on the paint chips if you don’t know what you’re doing 😭

Going to rant a bit lol

I saw a house on the market today and it finally broke me.  The asking price?  Insultingly high, especially compared to last year’s publicly available tax assessment.  The surrounding area?  Disturbingly lacking in trees despite there being a long, long stretch of vacant tree lawns across the street with no electrical lines to explain the absence of trees in them.  The interior?  Lacking photos except for a halfway decent sitting room and a deeply unimpressive kitchen.  All rubbish tbh.  But my issue that I’ll talk about here?

The exterior paint job.

The people who currently own the house in question are wannabe flippers, and they had the opportunity to rescue this house from its original dated and sunfaded paint job (as seen in the original Google streetview).  They could have given it something nice and timeless and fitting of its architectural style, something that would enhance the value of the home for prospective buyers.  Something sophisticated but bright, something to help the house stand out as the historic treasure it is while not standing out for the wrong reasons.  It would have been so, so easy if they had EVER looked at a properly done-up historic house before or just.  You know.  Consulted with a designer and a painter.

Instead they chose to paint the door, the trim, AND the shutters black and the siding brown-grey.  And they wonder why their hideous grimdark houseflip isn’t selling for over four times what they originally paid for it.  💀💀💀

This is EXACTLY why most paint companies offer collections labeled “historic house colors that stand the test of time!” and conveniently include paint chips with coordinating paint colors for your trim and accents just in case you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing.  “Why not try our online virtual paint so you can see what your house looks like before you waste your money on all that paint?  And check out these other houses that have been painted for inspiration!”  Even without a professional designer and painter’s help it is SO easy nowadays to choose paint colors for a house’s exterior that at least aren’t outright horrible.  I’m not saying people who know what they’re doing shouldn’t stray a bit from the cards, but if you DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING and don’t follow these easy guides, you’ll be like these hapless houseflippers...likely tens of thousands of dollars invested just to hamstring themselves by choosing quite possibly the ugliest paint job a house could have.  If you’re going to spend thousands, you may as well also hire someone to have a look at the exterior and steer you AWAY from dumb decisions like this.

Plus there are about five other houses for sale in this town with this EXACT SAME color “scheme” (if you can even call it that), and not one of them fits in well with the houses around them.  And, I can’t help but notice, these houses are not moving.  No one wants to buy them, especially not for the outrageously inflated prices the sellers want.  And how can anyone be surprised?  Who wants to pay through the nose to live in a black-on-grey nightmare?

Just.  Fuck.  I could have done so much better.  Literally ANYONE could have done better with just a simple paint chip in their hand.  Did these people not even have that?

/end rant
