Very interesting theme.

is the banderole actually going to look like that? 

[Druah]

claude, generate me a banderole design with the ghibli filter along with a logo for a gmk keycap set - make no mistakes

[Faraday]

generic novelties ripped from the noun project, ai generated art and logo, what a winner this set is.

AI is fine for memes and stuff, but real work requires real artists.

i love the current state of this hobby where you can only either:

- create a set that's too premium with extraordinary art 99% interest checks can't match in quality exclusively ran on one of two large NA vendors that doesn't take community feedback

Or

- "create" a set that uses maximum two colors that hasn't been seen or asked for in over a decade in a niche profile with no unique artwork and doesn't take community feedback

Oh sorry, failure and ridicule is the other option

I wanna be more moderate than the previous people that reacted to the IC.

I like the idea of the set even if I would prefer classic Hiragana sublegend (more classy).

On the other hand, it's not very clever to use a banner 100% made with IA (at least make it less obvious).

I am very proud with the amount of the attention the intentional poster taking half of an IC in size actually got.
I was really missing the old geekhack days when people like pikku allu actually responded to an IC yk guys that times. That being said, the poster presented and the small sticker details were purposely put in order to cause a highlight and create this comment section (blacksimon I really wanted you to also be here)

With that in mind, I acknowledge that the use of this generative stuff is prohibited, never used it in any of my projects. Now you can all see the final version of the interest check as intended. Tried my best in creating the design and the renders.

Thanks a lot for bringing back old memories.

Actually, I thought that you would be the one who will understand the use of the poster. You forgot the option which brought back old geekhack threads which were without mercy as this one.

Actually, you'll see the reason in my recent replies. However, I would suggest you change the prompt a little bit, not original. Use OpenAI's model as claude is good at vibe coding and working in different repositories while the other is better at image generation.

I guess it is clear now the intent of the art, however what is the point with the noun project? These are posted publicly and people can acquire the right to use them commercially if they buy them and reference their work. Be honest with you, would you even recognize them as taken from the site if I didn't mention? Don't think so

is the banderole actually going to look like that? 

Firstly, it was a poster. Secondly it is not at all related to the product which people are going to get, that being said you can check my latest comments on the reason of the usage which was to create an intrigue  on purpose, nothing more.
