AI-Generated content should be in the public domain
There is no stopping the Ai; questions about the ownership and copyright of AI-generated content are something we all talk about. I support the argument that such content should belong to the public domain and it cannot be copyright restrictions.
Most of us embrace the new tech (as a useful coworker) in our daily workload. But we do know that the content is not really ours. Of course, it feels great when you explore AI content and it fits your idea, but has it created something that feels original? It did, but it was trained on copyrighted material. Those artists will never be paid, they don’t even know it was taken from them—we know how the world turns. Copyright laws are made to protect creative work, but currently, our work is a mix of everything.
AI-generated content in the public domain feels like the only option. If AI-created works were freely available, we could all use them, and we could all benefit from them, as they should be easily accessible.
As AI continues to evolve, establishing clear policies on content ownership is crucial, so it will benefit society as a whole.

Brand self-reflection starts with an uncomfortable truth—we see ourselves differently than others do. Just as we imagine ourselves as rock stars in the shower, businesses often have distorted perceptions of their brand identity. Brand self-reflection requires the courage to look honestly at how your audience truly experiences your company.
The Gap
Midva represents the critical middle layer that's vanishing from design studios across Slovenia and beyond. The gap between junior and senior designers has become a chasm, leaving no space for proper mentorship and craft development. This midva phenomenon threatens the very foundation of how design knowledge transfers between generations.
Definition of a brand
Most agencies think brands are logos and colors. But what if a brand is actually the meaning that forms in your audience's mind?
Both love and design require deep engagement
Design requires experience to be truly understood, not just theoretical knowledge. Both design and meaningful relationships demand deep engagement, intuition, and personal interaction to reveal their full impact.
Have you ever tipped a designer?
Artists & designers create value that often goes unrecognized in professional relationships. Unlike service workers who regularly receive tips for good work, artists & designers rarely experience such appreciation despite consistently delivering beyond expectations.
