Same Page on Insta

The following is from a recent post I made on Linkedin and wanted to copy it here.

The more I experiment with AI tools for visual communication, the more I recommit a personal pledge to put #humansfirst in my own creation and design projects. Balancing client needs with generative AI features alongside Procreate (my fav drawing app on the iPad) hand drawing has resulted in some great outcomes. Procreate’s recent decision not to incorporate AI features in its product is commendable, emphasizing that “CREATIVITY IS MADE, NOT GENERATED.” This aligns with my focus on human-generated verification in visual works. Excited to launch the new Instagram channel for Same Page Studio, where I’ll showcase my design projects, always keeping #humansfirst Check out an early sketch on my insta below. #VisualDesign #Creativity #AI #Procreate #SamePageStudio

Artistic Intelligence
ByJason Toal September 9, 2024September 20, 2024

This was sparked, as many ideas often are, from a random Instagram post, and the words have stuck. ‘Artistic Intelligence‘. Why is this even a new term to me? I suppose for the past year everyone has been focussed so much on the other ‘AI’, that any non-LLM-based tools are passé. But as someone actively…

The A.Icons of HibbittsDesign.org
ByJason Toal September 20, 2024April 2, 2025

I am calling my new design products “A.Icons”, a fun play on words that includes the acronym A.I., adding “-cons” at the end to make it one phrase. I stumbled upon the term’s usage in my recent work, HibbitsDesign – Project Visual ID which I have added to my portfolio and am describing in this…

How I used AI to assist art-making.
ByJason Toal June 16, 2024July 17, 2024

A while back (in 2017), I visited a good buddy, and as a memento, I drew this little image and used it as a thank you card. In this image, I wanted to capture many of the elements that I fondly remembered from my visit: seeing the full moon rising over the forest, inoculating logs…
