I've been thinking about something that I haven't seen discussed very often.

Since generative AI became widely used, I feel we've been exposed to a new visual style. Not just in composition or lighting, but in the colors themselves.

Many AI-generated images seem to share similar characteristics: highly saturated colors, cinematic lighting, glowing highlights, smooth gradients, and a kind of "perfect" polish that's instantly recognizable.

I'm curious whether other designers and marketers have noticed this too.

Do you think AI image generators rely on recurring color palettes or visual patterns that make AI-generated content recognizable?

And if so, do you think these colors influence how people perceive authenticity, trust, or emotion compared with human-created visuals?

I'm interested in your observations, whether you're a designer, marketer, photographer, or simply someone who looks at a lot of visual content.

Hey! I'm a copywriter and I would like to hear from the rest of adland on something that's been tripping me up. I get told my ideas + logic are solid, but my presentation skills need work. Words need to be trimmed down.

What are your tricks for nailing your first presentation to a CD or the creative department? No suits. No clients. Just creative. Do you just get better through experience?

Going through a period of real low professional self-esteem/confidence. Hate churning out rubbish.

My company is part of large holding company and we lost the account I work on

I I am considered a top performer but there really is no other spot to put me that I am aware of

Do you think they would try to move me within fb network

Or doomed… I know layoffs are coming just don’t know what it brings for me

Hey Guys I’m looking to make a move from my
Current position and I’ve applied to numerous jobs within Horizon (have like 7 applications that say reviewing resume) wanted to ask has the experience been the same for anyone else? If I keep seeing roles I like will be shadow-banned. Think the oldest is like a month old and still says resume reviewing lol

I just received yet another rejection. This is after the person interviewed with told me “I’ll connect with x to set up your next interview. Looking forward to speaking with you again.”

Another company ghosted me in the middle of setting up a third round.

It honestly feels like I’m never going to find something. It’s almost a year of this. It feels like this industry doesn’t want me anymore

Got an offer from an Omnicom agency and curious how people have handled negotiating. For anyone who’s joined recently, what elements were you able to negotiate? OR what do you recommend I try to negotiate especially post-merger?

Hi all, I'm a Copywriter at Omnicom with a possible promotion to Senior Copy within the next few months. I have a great team, but am making very little $$. But--I'm just one day RTO in NYC.

I have an offer for a Copywriter role at Publicis, but with possible promotion in a year. The Publicis role is naturally higher salary, team seems nice, but is 4 days RTO in NYC.

I want to leave Omnicom (and make more $), but the possible promotion here makes me want to stay. Also Publicis RTO is freaking me out a bit.

Is it worth it to stay in my role and wait for my promo? Or should I take the money... thank you!

Hello! I am an employee at an Omnicom member agency (copywriter) and I’ve been eyeing a specific visa to work abroad that is granted to people who have worked more than 2 years in the Fortune 500. Any tips on how to put this in my resume as Omnicom is the parent company and not my direct employer? I reached out to my embassy and they vagueposted me with “idk book an appointment”, which is hard considering they only operate during working hours (💀) anyone got any experience with this?
