04 — How it works04 — 怎么运作

Adopting it怎么上手

Use AI to explore widely, then take the direction into real tools and finish by hand. Keep a human in the loop on originality and rights, and treat anything generated as a sketch to build from, never the final artwork.用 AI 广撒网探索,再把方向拿进真正的工具手工收尾。原创性和版权上让人始终在环内,把任何生成的东西当草图来搭建,永远别当成品。

05 — Where to look05 — 去哪儿看

Sources, not screenshots是来源,不是截图

Curated links to where this actually lives and gets documented — live boards for reference, editorial for pitch language, galleries to gauge saturation. We link out and credit rather than re-host anyone’s work.精选链接,指向这个方向真正活着、被记录的地方——实时参考板、给提案话术的编辑内容、判断饱和度的画廊。我们只链接并署名,不搬运任何人的作品。

06 — How to build it06 — 怎么做出来

How to start怎么开始

  1. Use AI to find a direction, then refine by hand
  2. don’t ship it raw
  3. watch copyright and the “AI look”. A sketch tool, not the final.
  1. 用 AI 出方向再手工精修
  2. 别直接交付
  3. 注意版权与"AI 味"。当草图工具用,不当成品用。(无公开硬指标,此条为编辑判断+Are.na 关注度)
Tools —工具 — Midjourney / Firefly / etc. for exploration, then real design tools to finish.Midjourney / Firefly 等做探索,再用真正的设计工具收尾。
