I was invited to give a conference about AI and content creation to an audience with very different backgrounds. The goal was to make the topic accessible and engaging for everyone, regardless of their level of experience. I wanted people to clearly see how AI could be used to improve the visual quality of their everyday work and make their ideas more compelling. The main challenge was simplifying complex AI concepts while keeping the audience engaged. Since the audience was diverse, I needed a visual approach that was both easy to understand and visually appealing. The presentation had to feel approachable, not technical, and at the same time demonstrate real creative potential.

Context
To support the presentation, I created a set of custom visuals based on a style I discovered by accident while experimenting with my own illustrations. I used that initial image as a foundation and expanded it into a full visual system. Using Krea Nodes and Nano Banana, I generated multiple illustrations of myself in a consistent 3D-style, maintaining textures, colors, and overall visual coherence. These visuals were then used throughout the presentation to explain different concepts, making the content more engaging and easier to follow. Instead of using generic slides, the visuals became a storytelling tool that helped people connect with the ideas in a more intuitive way. The response during the conference was very positive. People were highly engaged and curious, and several attendees specifically asked about the illustrations and how they were created. This showed that the visuals were not only supporting the presentation but also sparking interest in AI itself. The project successfully demonstrated how AI can be used in a practical and creative way to elevate everyday content.

Context
This project was developed as a visual system for a series of conferences I gave about AI. The goal was to create a set of consistent and engaging visuals that could support the narrative of the talk while showcasing the possibilities of AI in image creation. I started by generating a stylized, cartoon-like version of myself as the base character, and then used Krea Nodes and Nano Banana to create multiple variations while maintaining consistency in style, identity, and visual quality. To extend the impact of these visuals, I animated selected images using Krea in combination with Kling, bringing motion and dynamism to the presentation. The result was a cohesive set of 3D-style visuals that not only supported the content of the conference but also demonstrated, in a practical way, how AI can be used to build consistent and scalable visual systems.
