#mediapool

2 years ago during a motion design project I proposed to create a mascot for Bulgarian news outlet Mediapool.

While it didn't really fit in with their visual aesthetic, I'm pretty proud of the design of the character - a faceless investigator-journalist, with sherlockholmsian energy about him.

Here are a few color schemes for the character I put together to showcase the concept. If he had a face would he be easier to relate to?

#mediapool.bg want to illustrate an article on bread prices in Bulgaria. What I see is #GenAI overdoing the job.

After having studied how #midjuorney v4 could illustrate fairy tales (for anyone interested, https://qoto.org/@mapto/110111252142814403 ) I really want to research more about what stops GenAI from overdoing it with bread around a baker. The greatest obstacle I encounter is the obscurity of most models that engage with #neurosymbolic. It's practically useless, because the creators of such models prefer to be very secretive about what they do. The one exception reported results that do not seem to be reproducible (https://twitter.com/Birchlabs/status/1602105002448805891).

#mediapool.bg за съжаление показват, че и те самите не са на журналистическото ниво, което промотират.

Днес публикуват две статии в контекста на инвазията на Израел в Газа, които са меко казано безкритични, дори да приемем, че заглавията не са целенасочено манипулативни. Приравняването на антиционизма с антисемитизъм е отдавна оборена манипулация. А нахлуванията в и закриването на офисите на @AJEnglish е отразено просто като „спира да работи“.
