Did Not Make This

    A fun part of preparing for product demos is coming up with fanciful names for organisations. Today it was a video production house that specialises in “content”. I gave it the name “Content Mill Productions”. I even gave it a logo, using DALL-E.

    Generated DALL-E image of a logo for a fake organisation. Prompt: A corporate logo for 'Content Mill Productions'. The logo features an old-fashioned windmill, representing tradition and history, as the central element. Surrounding the windmill is a prominent banner with the studio's name 'Content Mill Productions' in a clear, professional font. The design is modern yet classic, combining elements of both to create a unique and memorable logo. The color palette is sophisticated, with a blend of navy blue, white, and a touch of gold to add a hint of elegance.

    Not that clever, but good enough for a demo.

    Another, slightly modified, DALL-E image. This one’s based on real events (i.e. what happened today during my walk).

    A slightly modified DALL-E image. Prompt: an old industrial sign, like one seen in a factory. The sign should have an icon of a person with a hard hat on in silhouette. To the right should be black text days since I hit my head on a log. Below that is a metal card with the number zero. The zero be made to look like it's removable, like it's on metal pegs.

    Trying out the image generator in ChatGPT (which I think is just DALL-E). A few friends of mine will get this reference.

    DALL-E image generated using ChatGPT. Prompt: an image of a griffin playing bocce in the park with two other people.

    More Logic Pro this evening. Here’s a recording of the main theme from Tubular Bells 2. Love how the Steinway Grand Piano sounds.
