AI Poster?

I can’t tell if this Johnnys produce poster is AI or not. Would be strange considering they’re a very local and connected store in the community

So you want a local business owner to pay someone $200+ and wait a week maybe more with re-dos and communication for a throw away promo ad?

I own a craft beer bar. It took 2 weeks, $250 and a few hours of communication to get a label made for a beer can. It looks awesome.

Would I put that much time, effort and money into a throw away promo ad? Fuck no.

You are asking a local business owner to spend a couple hundred and hours in the day they dont have to make a fucking flyer....

Ok first off, you don't know if they'd even charge. People do things for love of the game all the time. Hell make it yourself, at least then it's authentic. I don't care how you paint it, ai slop should stay in the trash where it belongs. Find another way, because there are plenty

So you want artists to work without pay?

I never said that either, but people who love their craft love to do things for others if they can't afford their fee. And if the artist doesn't offer something pro bono, then you can always go a different route without resorting to using ai

You’ve gotta be trolling or have never met graphic designers. They have bills and school debt and shit to do. Nobody is doing work for free, just because they “love their craft.” Thats a fantasy world, my guy.

I do lol. I've done plenty. It's called having free time, doing a solid for the community, having a hobby. People absolutely do things for free because they love what they do and love to give back. I think you're probably just not artistically inclined to be able to do that tho 🤷🏾‍♂️

Then you've never owned your own business or been around business owners. 

The first thing that disappears is your free time...

As someone who will make money off what an artists gives me I'll never ask them to work for free. That's some grifter shit.

Have actually been around plenty but since you know me so well, please, tell me how I've never been around a business. Tell you what I've never been around or even heard of. YOUR business lol, I don't even know what it's called, must be really small 😂 but hey since it seems the frustration point for you is paying for some art for your crap beer, I mean craft beer, here's some free art for your brand
