    The Project

    Anexo A is a brazilian company focused on industrial automotive metallic parts and their key product are towing coupling for Stellantis, owner of such brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, Peugeot, CitrΓΆen, Maseratti and many more.

    The company’s pain was their overall poor web presence and product catalog. Our project is based on a multi-checkpoint strategy, starting with their key product: tow coupling. After discussing the options I presented and what the company needed as priority, I advocated for an online catalog such as a webpage where it would be easier to update content, pictures and technical data, better to control access, and we can make use of multimedia elements. After getting the OK for this asset to be created, I decided to use AI-generated content to squeeze the maximum of our allowed budget and deliver a cinematic hero splash screen.

    For the product catalog images, I had access to all the product CAD files and then I rendered everything using Luxion’s Keyshot, so we had acurate and beautiful shot of each product, perfectly aligned to camera angles favouring its intricate structure, over a plain neutral background to be used alongside the webpage.

    3d rendered assets

    All the products were treated in a 3D environment in order to be textured with the right materials parameters and scale.

    I crafted render shots in neutral background color and studio lighting setup to highlight the maximum of each and every detail, giving a premium feel and aesthetics to the product.

    The cinematic video

    The most impactful section of this online catalog is the cinematic video on the hero section.

    Were not for the licensing fees from the 3D software used to render, this could have been the most expensive portion of the project.

    In order to get the artistic direction I was seeking, I had to experiment and combine many AI agents together, from scripting the scene direction and photography, to fine tuning the end prompt.

    It took weeks between finding the prompt recipe combining real world cameras models and brands, lens types and brands, post-production and in-capture glare effects, plus the training sessions of each vehicle to render and behave accordingly each make and model.

    The end result is a stunning cinematic shot compilation with aesthetically light leaks, subtle chromatic aberration and real world dynamics, all later on edited, color corrected and stitched together using Adobe Premiere.

    Each vehicle model was curated and trained as a separate LORA or character, then inserted in a meticulously crafted prompt. Not only this steps were necessary to achieve a realistic cinematic video, but I had to experiment with so many different AI models ranging from WAN (all of their available versions), LTX, Higgsfield native, Seedance (both models), Kling 3.0, Minimax Hailuo, the most expensive of all agents SORA and I even experimented with Grok.

    All in all, it was a fun process, although a bit costly, certainly cheaper than having it recorded in real life with real vehicles, cameras and personel. Having to wait long minutes between each generation ended up costing myself long nights awake just to change a coma or a word to get better results.

    Kreiselfest 2026 – Zollikofen

    Kreiselfest 2026 – Zollikofen

    Joyful Brand Identity for the city’s mega-fest

    Branding

    Graphic Design

    WebDesign

    The Project

    The Kreiselfest (or Roundabout Festival) in the city of Zollikofen, Switzerland, is a large community festival taking place on the main avenue closing the traffic to host the mega-party for two consecutive days, to happen on 4th and 5th September this year, 2026.

    The project is lead by a committee of 40 decision-makers executives that plays a significant role in the city economy. After presenting my brand project’s entry for the event, it was finally awarded as winner and the committee officially adopted this Brand Identity System.

    the Kreiselfest Design System

    The briefing was clear:

    • Logo must have circular or radial elements to remind the two roundabouts where the festival takes place.
    • Logo must be joyful.
    • Logo must depict some kind of movement.
    • Logo must depict music.
      Β 

    Based on that I designed the main core logo elements and presented five versions with various elements to choose from, including: dog, cat, hot-dog, barbecue on a stick and number pairing variations.

    The chosen version is the one with a dancing couple, a cute dog looking to the huge number pairing 2026 hat houses comfortably the city’s name and the provided slogan.

    The inspiration

    As to the aesthetic, I took inspiration on the Romero Britto’s artwork, a renowned Brazilian abstract painter, now living in Florida, USA.

    He defines his own artwork as happiness, has an extensive gallery of random subject paints and prices from his canvas can reach up to US$ 2 million for a single painting.

    The vector-like strokes and precise bold lines filled with colorful patterns looks great on digital and printed media, thus, being my first choice to elaborate on the subject.

    Although this being a starting point, our Kreiselfest Brand came out with my own point of view, with quite different line design, weight, clear boundaries, cleaner pattern and a technically controlled color palette.

    The Design Process

    It started with many pencil sketches in my notebook until I found the circle formation with elements inside and typography outside.

    Once found the core composition, I designed the shapes in vector software and fine-tune all the measurements and adjustments to balance and fit all the elements.

    After that I refined the colors to a limited palette and applied many combination until the most balanced and harmonic was found.

    Kreiselfest behind the scenes
    Behind the scenes: ongoing process with multiple versions

    The final approved version later on included a second logo and a website. The project counts many dedicated worked hours, and it is still ongoing as website evolves. Don’t miss to visit the official Kreiselfest website as well.

    Technically, the logo was a complex puzzle of shapes and patterns, but aesthetically it looked smooth and easy on the eyes.

    Shortly after the logo was done, I got a request to expand the project to a second logo, this time for the side event, the music festival.

    Before diving into the complimentary logo, the next step of the process was to elaborate the brand guidelines and usage, as well as some mock ups with practical examples.

    The logo was also built to be modular and ready to be update next and upcoming years. The way I built it, it is quite easy to change 26 to 27 or whatever the year number that the next festival will be held.

    But I must admit, if I am to be honored again to manage the brand next festival edition, I would change the main character elements as well, so as the years and festivals goes by, we end up having a collection of logos with diverse characters, creating a world of its own.

    developing brand collateral based on the brand guidelines

    The circular logo could face complex fitting into the square world of monitors and framing for printed media. The richness of this logo allows us to truly play around and find joyful compositions.

    This was done by isolating the logo in a radial neutral border and filling the background with a mixture of its elements, drawing the eye always to the main element and filling with uplifting vibe all around the composition in a less word and more color approach.

    zolli on stage logo

    The Music Event named Zolli on Stage was later added to the project and asked to be designed as a “twin” logo approach.

    For that I used the existing design system and tweaked the characters to a more explicit sign ( music player, singer, dancer ) and used a rather analog color palette with blue and purple being the main mood contributors as the music event usually tends to happen at night.Β 

    For me, personally, the great addition is the red and white striped pattern added to one character element, clearly honoring the Swiss flag colors and pattern seen in many historical buildings.

    In the end, the main Kreiselfest logo and the Zolli On Stage logo are a great pair that not only look alike, but complements each other to a greater feeling of the event.

    The Kreiselfest Website

    Since the website would have diverse content contributors, I designed the website using Elementor and WordPress for the ease of use and access. The web project started on the brand guidelines and quickly evolved to a website with many pages.

    The key design characteristic is the absence of angular and sharp edges, as the entire project relies on rounded and radial shapes, that also applies to boxes, buttons and sections dividers.

    For the front page I applied a hero banner with a drone-video footage running on the background, showing the overview on where the event will take place. The huge logo is the center piece accompanied by it’s “twin” Music Event logo. Then we have a feature that has a practical role: the live countdown timer, marking the exact time the event will start. Below the fold, we have updated information from the blog.

    My final thoughts on the project

    The project delivers vital information to the public, sells the event to sponsors and will be used as a memory multimedia album after the event. Driving a traffic of thousands of accesses daily, it grew organically with the help of the communication team through an open WhatsApp channel and social media like Instagram.

    This was a rather “different” project, far away from what I am really used to, corporate and serious toned businesses, and I must admit I had fun creating it. To use a more playful color palette and to design characters for a logo, was something I enjoyed and tested my skills at the same time.

    I’d like to thank very much the sponsoring and trust from Intelliworld that not only made it easy for me to understand the project’s needs as well defended the project to the committee board. Huge thanks Scott!

    The original Sativa Vet Pure Nature’s CDB Oil family was facing a strong sense of outdated design and part of the request was that the CDB percentage could be more easily read for pharmacists and clients.

    I presented a package design with a consistent green color palette keeping the brand’s original color intact and displaying large percentage numbers on the bottom half.

    The animals icons and the liquid drop were symbols and icons requested to be present on the redesign as well.

    I added a hint of metallic finish on the top lip, as a golden stripe, to call the attention and contribute for a more premium finish, borrowing a sense of higher quality to the product overall.

    Comparison

    This is a comparison benchmark running Z-Image Turbo model testing the various Genre options found in my latest toll Prompt Assistant v1.1, affectionately nicknamed PASS.

    For the sake of testing purposes, I am using exactly the same prompt, same seed, the same sampler, same scheduler and same resolution of 824 x 1328 ( 1536 x 2048 would have been ideal ). The only change will be on the initial aesthetic value that will be note on each image caption.

    I hope this comparision can be somewhat useful to understand what genre means in generative art. You are invited to play around with the PASS tool and use to guide your future generations with JSon and Long string text outputs ready to be copied and pasted nto your workflow.

    					Photorealistic, Bright / Airy aesthetic. Subject: A 40yr female Mixed Latino-European minimalist (wearing a matte grey suit without shirt underneath, long trousers and high-heels), pose: leaning on her car, intense gaze expression. Featuring: a Ferrari (yellow with pristine body conditions). Scene set in a skyscrapper rooftop in Dubai with soft diffused light. Technical: high angle, shot on Hasselblad medium format, 50mm lens.
    				
    			

    WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS BENCHMARK

    Z-Image Turbo excels in beautiful photorealistic images of daily subjects as long it stays within a cinematic / editorial portraiture realm.

    When experimenting with more artistic and edgy prompts pushing the aesthetics far away from the common reality, Z-Image Turbo starts to fail and ignores these prompt instructions, as if it is addicted or trained only to a certain aesthetic only.

    Z-Image can not follow specific Aesthetic/Genre prompts.

    Just aesthetics is not enough

    The benchmark proved that by changing just the aesthetics value will cause no identifiable changes to the output result. Z-Image can not understand the aesthetic value on it’s own, rather you have to change completely one portion of the prompt to ensure the aesthetic is described in more words.

    Take a closer look on the next examples with comparison on aesthetics word value and whole portion prompt rewriting.

    Important note: Styles like surreal, glitch, dystopian and others similar that pushes a very specific appeal to the end result will absolutely not be considered by Z-Image rendering this model useless if your intent is anything other than Editorial / Street / Cinematic or Photorealistic.

    Final veridict

    By no means I am assuming that Z-Image Turbo has severe flaws, rather pin-pointing that this model seems to be built to attend a specific use: realism for editorial, cinematic and street photography featuring humans.

    Rendering objects can be complex for Z-Image and logos and specific parts details on objects can not be handled properly. For example: the vehicle is identifiable as a Ferrari but the logo, emblem and details on the wheels, handles and front lights are completely mishandled.

    Some of the details flaws can be rebuilt with upscaling techniques or even inpainting, thus, requiring an extra process to fix it.

    Using AI to generate the perfect shot or product placement of your product

    Product visualization

    The goal for any local or small-scale retailer is to produce content that performs two distinct roles: it must stop the scroll on social media and answer technical questions on the product page.

    For many small business owners, the primary barrier to digital growth isn’t the quality of the productβ€”it’s the quality of the content. Capturing the rich texture of a fine leather purse or the subtle sheen of hardware requires a level of photographic skill, studio lighting, and post-production that is often financially out of reach for a lean operation. Without these professional visuals, even the most premium items can appear “homemade” on a storefront, which can inadvertently signal a lack of credibility and lead to lower conversion rates.

    Artificial Intelligence has fundamentally changed this dynamic, democratizing high-end production for local retailers. Instead of requiring a physical studio and a professional crew, business owners can now use AI as a digital art director and editor. By leveraging generative models, you can take a basic, well-lit photo from your smartphone and transform it into a sophisticated asset library. AI solves the perennial challenges of staging, lighting, and perspective, allowing small brands to present a visual identity that rivals global luxury houses at a fraction of the cost.

    From Smartphone to Storefront, build Brand Narrative and Lifestyle Context one Step at a time

    iPhone shot of the product taken by a person with no photography expertise

    1. Starting point

    For platforms like Instagram and TikTok, the goal is “aspirational storytelling.” The product needs to look like it belongs in the hands of your ideal customer.

    Using various AI models and workflows, we can take that basic iPhone photo and transplant the purse into a high-end, realistic setting without losing the integrity of the original leather texture, features, dimensions, details and other characteristics.

    β—„ Take the example here on the left: the purse was shot on iPhone using basic camera settings and natural lighting. The picture itself is not bad, would suffice for Marketplace or other online selling markets, but certainly is not good enough for a social media ad or e-commerce presentation.

    2. The German, the Chinese and the American Models

    The original image has to have some correction done. By adding some dynamic characteristics to the main element we can better grab the attention of the audience. But how/which AI Model to use?

    In order to accomplish that, we have to remove the background, change the camera lens length, maybe even change the angle a little bit. Adding more context to the image means choosing a scenario and a story to tell.

    As of January 2026 there are three main AI Edit Models competitors on the market:Β Flux Kontext is the German AI model, Qwen Edit is the Chinese AI model and Gemini Nano BananaΒ  is the popular American AI model. All of them have pros and cons which let us adjust through a prompt all the changes we need. Take a look at the comparison pictures below using the same edit requests.

    Edit generated using Gemini – American model

    Although all three results looks good, they are far beyond something professional. The dimension of the purse is affected and even the background looks distorted or way too much artificial. The overall mood, light technique and camera angle seems good, but placing the product requires more steps. For that, we are going to add extremely targeted details in the prompting.

    All of them need obvious adjusts, including the purse dimensions that are way too off.

Neon and artificial city lights streams through the side window, creating a bit of chromatic aberration and highlighting the rich textures of the bag and the modern car interior. The atmosphere is cyberpunk and cinematic. Sharp details, sharp textures.

    3. Reshooting the product for professional usage

    High-quality, professional images are rewarded by search engine algorithms. By using AI to generate clean, high-resolution catalog shots, you improve your chances of appearing in Google Image Search. When you name these files descriptively, you are actively building an SEO foundation that brings local customers directly to your door.

    Edit using DMPP_2M Sampler

    The “levitating” approach for this product goes hand in hand with its premise. This is why we are going to make further edits and use this idea as our main central point to promote this product.

    benchmark on model shift / steps / scheduler

    Just a few days after Flux 2 hiting the AI scene on end November 2025, the chinese came along and shove both feet at the door with this Qwen based fast model called Z-Image that excels in realistic portraits, celebrities and landmarks.

    This my personal comparison chart to benchmark its features and this is my attempt to understand what each node does and what each settings affects the generated result. Follow along to check it for yourself too.

    Seed = fixed
    Steps = see comparison below
    CFG = 1 (will adhere strictly to the prompt, without deviations)
    Sampler = res_multistep (suggested by the model’s author)
    Scheduler = simple (suggested by the model’s author)

    steps

    Steps means how many times the latent space will be calculated before delivering the final output. Z-Image is a fast model and was developed to use less steps. Here, I found the best results are between 8 and 12. Less steps generates too few details, more steps generates extra noise and some inconsistencies, mainly on the hair.

    Sampler means the agent technology that will interpret the latent space according to the scheduler model and convert to a visual output. Each agent has it’s own algorithm and will influence mainly the time it needs to generate the final output, with some minor subtle aspect changes.Β  The model’s author recommends using sampler = res_multistep. More noticeable are the light streaks on her arm and the out of focus leaves. All generations below were using 9 steps and shift 3.

    Comparison

    Since RES4LYF was released and gained popularity for having almost a hundred samplers using ClownSharkSampler, I decided to test each one of them to the same prompt and resolution in an attempt to find the most sharp and realistic generative render.

    Positive promtp used:

    				
    					In a futuristic world, there is this beautiful woman wearing heavy make-up in geometric shapes. She is standing in front of a neutral vibrant yellow background, while the dynamic city lights casts high contrasting light on her face and mechanical parts. This is a portrait shot on Leica M6 using 85 mm lens. The skin texture is very sharp to the pore-level and has some imperfections. Film grain. fluxlisimo_cinematic

    New Flux 1 Kontext Dev free to use workflow and examples

    New Flux 1 Kontext Dev free to use workflow and examples

    Flux Kontext was only available as a paid service through several online APIs but on June 2025 the free version was released under the name of FLUX 1 Kontext Dev and can be run locally, aka, using Comfy UI or Diffusers.

    What Kontext does is what most of us from the AI community were waiting for over the last years: generate changes to images while maintaining consistency. And that’s a game-changer in the history of generative AI.

    See below some practical examples where I noted the Sampler technology used as well.

    For a complete installation guide and basic workflows, refer to the official page here: https://docs.comfy.org/tutorials/flux/flux-1-kontext-dev

    Original image generated
    with Fluxmania

    Kontext “opened hazel eyes” generated
    with Deis sampler

    Kontext “opened hazel eyes” generated
    with DMPP 2M sampler

    Original image generated
    with Fluxmania and GrainScape LORA

    Kontext “tall grass field in Scottland” generated
    with IPNDM sampler

    Kontext “golden wheat crops” generated
    with IPNDM sampler

    Kontext “paradisiac beach in Philipines” generated
    with IPNDM sampler

    Original image generated
    with Fluxmania andΒ GrainScape LORA

    Kontext “social suit, white shirt and long pants” generated
    with IPNDM sampler

    Kontext “brazilian soccer uniform” generated
    with IPNDM sampler

    It is completely stunning how Kontext can handle the contextualization of its InPaint method and reading the whole image to a degree that can understand depth of field, noise, camera angle, character unique marks, posture, color grading and more.

    Important to note that the engine Flux Kontext Dev provided by Black Forest Labs, the original author, does not allow NSFW, nudity, erotic or pornographic generations.Β 

    The downside is that Kontext not yet can easily change facial expressions. When trying expressions such as angry, surprised or sensual, it does not comply. Changing the Sampler might fix that. See example below.

    Original image generated
    with Flux 1 Dev

    Kontext “surprised” or “angry” generated
    with any Sampler returns always with error

    Kontext “smile” generated
    with IPNDM sampler

    Kontext “looking in awe with mouth open” generated
    with Euler sampler

    Commercial application for real world use

    While playing around and messing with prompting is fun and leads to visually stunning results, there must have a more serious and commercial application point of view, otherwise, the technology would render useless for businesses.

    This is where the workflow of Kontext Dev lets us combine two images together and generates a single output with perfect matching colors and composition.

    See the examples below.

    Real photo of the product taken from Fashion Nova

    Fluxmania Checkpoint generated
    female feet with Feet Model LORA

    Kontext combined generated
    with Euler sampler

    Real photo of the product taken from Fashion Nova

    Fluxmania Checkpoint generated
    female feet with Feet Model LORA

    Kontext combined generated
    with DPMPP 2M sampler

    Real photo of the product taken from Fashion Nova

    Fluxmania Checkpoint generated
    female feet with Feet Model LORA

    Kontext combined generated
    with DPMPP 2M sampler

    The results are not yet optimal because the sandal is rendered twice with the same strap position, on the left and on the right feet. Plus, it still somehow has something way too artificial to be used commercially. Maybe with fine prompting or stacking some LORAs to the workflow could generate better results.

    As take more time to study I will publish my findings on this website and LinkedIn.
