When opportunity starts to look like free labour… you know it’s time for a real conversation.
This week, Moses Bliss unintentionally lit a fire in Nigeria’s creative space and designers are finally saying what’s been overdue.
Is it exposure… or exploitation? 🤔
Tap in and decide for yourself.

This is not a real campaign.
But I wish it was.
I created this visual series together with ChatGPT, imagining how a city like mine (Elche, Spain) could promote local shopping — not with typical ads, but with fashion-like portraits of everyday people from the neighborhood.
The idea:
What if we treated local shops with the same visual care as global brands?
What if seniors, mothers, and neighbors became the face of a campaign with strong editorial aesthetics?
The badge you see is the real crest of Elche’s city hall — used here to frame a fictional concept that blends public service and visual storytelling.
Also testing Midjourney v7 to see if AI can now create people that feel natural… but with a commercial, stylized look.
🧓 Real people.
🛍️ Real shops.
💬 Not official, just speculative — but made with a lot of love.
Would you like to see campaigns like this in your city?

It’s not about wokeness lol. Spec work has always been unethical. The difference is that he makes money from cover artwork in the form of music streams. A commission for something like this is typically pricey, (because it’s commercial work!) I highly recommend lookingup specwork

People that do competitive specwork shit like this are cheap cowards. Sit down with a crayon and napkin and design it with your own idiot hands if you don't respect the time of designers, even if they're cloying servile little losers that don't respect their own time.

Curious if things folks would add/swap in their top 10 for a productive dev env
- 'boring code' architecture
- linted & typed codebase, with develop md etc
- local docker gpu env
- fast local live updates, lint/types/unittests, & containerized env
- fast remote ci/cd/observability
- vscode w/ copilot; gpt4
- responsive team for discussions PR reviews
- interviews & specwork ahead/during project, tracker support during iterations (breakdown, prioritization, ..)
- artifact repo for inspecting resuming any prev version
- production clone env for safe real-data testing

For example, this same organization previously advertised and quickly aborted a 'contest' offering winner chance to be used in a product...
Exercise caution around stuff like this.

Client: Converse AllStar
Campaign Title: “Offer Timeless”
#SpecWork
-The aim of this campaign is to position Converse AllStar as an easy gift, relying on its classic appeal and look that’s so familiar to us all. In doubt, gift them a Converse AllStar, it will alway look good.
ALT CAN’T CHOOSE ? We've all found ourselves in this position. Wanting to please a loved one but amidst the multitude of choice that today's market offers and the difference in taste, colors and shapes, we ask ourselves "would Sonia like this ? Is this Anthony's style ?" And who doesn't love a good surprise right ? so we don't wanna give up the ghost. Perhaps why not go for something that will FOREVER be in style ? The Chuck Taylor Converse "ALL STAR" is here to stay. So don't overthink it. This end of year, OFFER TIMELESS.
ALT It was relevant 30yrs ago, it still is today and chances are, it’ll be next year. Don’t Think Too much, this end of year, Offer Timeless

It still hasn't dawned on July that just because someone can do a pin-up, the winner of his 'fan art contest' might not be capable of doing sequential art seeing as how it's a completely different skill set.
