AI
AI speeds up the exploring, extending and resizing. Your UI/UX Designer owns the idea, the craft and the final file, and checks the rights.
Faster concepts
Early explorations in Adobe Firefly, Canva AI or Midjourney, then the real design built in Figma, Illustrator or Photoshop.
Image extension and clean-up
Photoshop Generative Fill and Expand for backgrounds, crops and clean-ups, with the product kept exactly as it is.
Sizes and variants
AI resizing for each channel, with every size checked by eye for cropping, text and logo placement.
Alt text and placeholder copy
AI drafts alt text and layout copy. Your UI/UX Designer checks it before hand-over.
Brand checks
An AI pre-check for spelling, colors and logo use before a person does the final review.
Our rule: business-grade AI only, never free or personal accounts.
