Alt Planets

Studio Blackthorns imagines Alt Planets, a concept project completely designed thanks to AI

At the dawn of an increasingly transhumanized generation, Studio Blackthorns wondered if packaging design could one day be completely generated through artificial intelligence.

Present since 2010 in the visual and digital communication, Studio Blackthorns has seen countless trends in all spheres of graphic design, whether in web design, graphic design, product design, photography and videography. At the time, it was easier to stand out on the Internet because everything was still being created. Then, over the years, we saw all kinds of graphic resources appearing to simplify this creative work: ready-made mockups for our portfolio presentations, templates for our PowerPoint presentations, free images on Unsplash or even WordPress or Shopify themes for less than 50 € on many marketplaces.

In short, in a decade, we noticed that design has simply become a commodity and that it was now difficult to make a living out of it for many agencies and freelancers. On top of that, it’s also becoming difficult to charge our clients a premium price for our graphic work. Is it essential for the new generations to benefit from such technologies to respond to a very hectic life and a world that is too complex?

Today, other technologies are added and tend to make our jobs more and more secondary: generative design, code art and artificial intelligence. Just as a machine is gradually replacing supermarket cashiers, will computers soon replace designers and marketers? Will all beverage packaging become NFTs created BY computers FOR computers?

We don’t have the answer, but it’s to these deep questions that Studio Blackthorns tried to think by imagining a concept project called “Alt Planets” and realized at 80% thanks to the artificial intelligence available online today. The challenge could seem complex, but the realization was finally much simpler than expected (to our great surprise)!

The idea was to create a non alcoholic RTD brand in cans. To do so, we used only 2 websites: hypnogram.xyz for the illustrations and rytr.me for the texts and the product description. You will find the complete result below. And for the record, we only put 20% of our creative work in the process (including typeface selection, minimal rewriting of generated texts and 3D rendering).

Welcome to a 3.0 universe with Alt Planets by Studio Blackthorns…
