Starter Pack - but with substance, please!

The starter pack trend is omnipresent: everywhere you look, you see nicely arranged pictures of people as collectible figures, with pens, coffee cups and hobby accessories as accessories, shrink-wrapped in plastic - an AI trend, usually interchangeable, almost always meaningless. A visual toy that pretends to say something about the person, but rarely goes below the surface.

What hardly anyone questions: How much energy and resources go into the production of these AI-generated motifs? And what is actually left behind - apart from the information that someone likes to drink coffee and uses certain drawing programmes? As an agency that focuses on real illustration - by hand, by people, with attitude - we want to do things differently: We invited our illustrators to create their own personalised starter pack - not as an AI gimmick, but as a handmade, truly individual self-portrait. With tools that mean something and with motifs that show how someone thinks.

The result: illustrative snapshots that show attitude instead of just catering to the hype.
