This work demonstrates how artificial intelligence can transform an existing design project by altering its identity and adding supplementary design assets and elements. The source material was a packaging design for the «Intro Ceramics» clay brand, which features abstract forms illustrating the pliability of the mass intended for sculpting within the packaging.

Rebranding Through the Lens of AI:
Leonardo Ai was utilized during the development of this project. The initial design was based on the aesthetic of abstract, spot-like forms from the source project. However, this rebranding has given rise to different visual imagery. The design is founded on a sense of spontaneity, chaos, plasticity, and impulsivity in the creative process—clay is pliable and soft, allowing it to adapt to various demands. The concept stems directly from the studio’s name («into"—from Latin, meaning «directed inward»), as well as from the studio’s process—each piece is created for a specific commission and is not produced in series. This is why every form here is unique. The project’s colors are natural and understated, intended to emphasize the material’s inherent quality and align with the feeling embedded in the «into» concept.
Logo
Create a logo that embodies the essence of an Intro Ceramics brand, where individuality and raw creativity shine. Imagine a serene yet inspiring workspace, focusing on abstract organic shapes and earthy tones. Highlight the tactile quality of clay, capturing its transformation through human touch. The environment should evoke a sense of freedom and intuition—no pre-made molds, only natural, flowing forms born from the artist’s inner impulse. Each ceramic piece is unique, featuring irregular lines, textured surfaces, and spontaneous artistry. Incorporate muted, natural colors like terracotta, off-white, and slate gray, maintaining a minimalist yet warm and inviting aesthetic.
Packaging
Design packaging for a clay product that embodies the brand’s philosophy of creativity and individuality. The packaging should feature a minimalist design, using natural, earthy tones such as terracotta, beige, and slate gray. The material could be textured kraft paper or matte-finish eco-friendly cardboard, emphasizing sustainability. Incorporate hand-drawn or organic shapes that echo the fluid and unique forms of handmade ceramics. The brand name, 'Intro Ceramics, ' should be displayed in a clean, modern font, with subtle imperfections to reflect the artisanal nature of the product. Include minimal text, perhaps a tagline like 'Raw Creativity, Infinite Possibilities, ' and a simple, elegant logo that symbolizes the transformation of clay into art.
Posters
Create a poster mockup for Intro Ceramics displayed on a weathered brick wall in a bustling urban alley. The alley features graffiti, layered posters, and signs, creating a textured, artistic environment. The poster should have an earthy, minimalist design with organic shapes and the tagline «Raw Creativity, Infinite Possibilities.» Natural light illuminates the poster, contrasting its clean design against the gritty background.




Visualize an Intro Ceramics poster mounted on the sleek glass wall of a modern café in a bustling city. The café interior is visible through the glass, where patrons are enjoying coffee and conversation. The poster design is minimalist and earthy, harmonizing with the setting’s warm, contemporary ambiance. Reflections of the urban street and passersby add dynamic layers to the scene.


Paper bag
Design a paper shopping bag for Intro Ceramics that reflects its artisanal and creative ethos. The bag should be made from eco-friendly kraft paper with a textured, natural finish. The design should feature minimalistic, organic patterns in earthy tones such as terracotta, beige, and slate gray, inspired by the shapes of handmade ceramics. The brand name, «Intro Ceramics, ” is printed in a modern, understated font, accompanied by a subtle logo that symbolizes the fluidity of clay. Include sturdy, natural rope or paper handles for a rustic yet refined touch. The overall aesthetic should evoke sustainability, individuality, and elegance.




Shopper
Design a shopper bag for Intro Ceramics that embodies the brand’s ethos of creativity and individuality. The bag should be crafted from eco-friendly, durable fabric like cotton or jute in a natural tone such as off-white, beige, or light terracotta. The design should feature organic, hand-drawn patterns or abstract shapes inspired by the flowing forms of handmade ceramics. The brand name, 'Intro Ceramics, ' is printed in a clean, modern font, subtly placed near the center or lower corner. The straps must be sturdy and comfortable, made of matching or contrasting material. The overall design should feel artisanal yet stylish, perfect for carrying ceramics or everyday items.
Apron
Create a mockup of a woman wearing a clay modeling apron from Intro Ceramics, framed from the shoulders down against a plain white background. The apron features an abstract design with flowing, irregular patterns in earthy tones like terracotta, beige, and slate gray, inspired by the textures and movement of clay. The branding is minimal, with the 'Intro Ceramics' logo subtly placed near the hem or pocket. The apron has a slightly worn, artisanal look with smudges and imperfections that reflect its use in creative work. The hands rest naturally at the sides, with no objects being held, keeping the focus entirely on the apron’s design.
