FICTIONAL AI BRAND

A fictional earplug brandfrom AI art direction

Hushly Oropax was a weekend experiment for a fictional brand of soft silicone earplugs. AI-generated characters, packaging and short clips grew into a bold branding with its own sense of humour.

The process
  1. 01STARTING POINT

    Earplugs are functional and easy to overlook. Hushly turns them into a small brand with a loud presence. Logo, typography and colour came from me; AI delivered variants for characters, motifs and motion.

  2. 02EXPLORATION

    Four hours of early exploration with OpenArt AI set the look. A custom model was trained to keep the characters consistent. Big ears, big lips and a reduced illustrative style became the visual base.

    From the character selection the branding grew. PP Fuji carries headlines and packaging, Hushly Green sets the base. Lemon, red, blue and black/white add contrast. My part was the selection, the system and the final art direction.

    Animated visuals run on the packshots, plus two short clips. One shows a neighbour knocking, comfortably tuned out with Hushly Oropax. Posters, social media and digital formats carry the same assets further.
