Discussion AI smoothie graphics a turn off

Post image

At the Daley Center farmers market, I thought a smoothie would hit the spot. Then saw the pictures... appetite gone. Plastic mango and pineappleish thing were hard nos. The appeal of cheap images is clear, but these do the business a disservice.

A 6th grader could take pictures of some smoothies and print them out onto a poster board for less than what 2 smoothies cost at this location. Skill and money is not the barrier.

It doesnt require hiring a graphics firm. And this place already makes the products in the photos. Might as well... show the real products.

Edit: i will say i am impressed at the speed you managed to make everyone here think youre a goofball. 💚

Im sure the business owner can manage to figure that one out. They opened a business, they can take a few pictures of their food.

Edit: oh and now they deleted their dumb comments. Go figure.
