Midjourney 8.2  —  You taught it this.

01 / The rule

The number is the material.

Every image is built around 8.2, formed from whatever the picture is made of: glass, fur, ice, petals, metal, skin, crayon. Because the image carries the number, the typography can stay small and consistent across every piece.
The line, You taught it this, points to the ratings 8.2 learned from. All of the images were made in Midjourney.

02 / Posters

The posters.

Full-bleed posters, one image and one line each, running in two rows of six. The boat mark opens one row and closes the other, so a run reads as a sequence rather than a repeat.

03 / Out of home

Billboards and shelters.

The same system in landscape, with the image, the mark and one line, shown on the sites it would run. A rooftop, a digital board, a roadside board and a bus shelter.

05 / How it was made

How it was made.

Every image was generated in Midjourney from my own prompts, and the header clips are Midjourney video. The plates are untouched. The posters, boards and screens were laid out in code around them, and the street scenes and devices were generated with the finished artwork as the reference, so what sits on the walls is the real file.

06 / Work

Selected work.

Three longer pieces: a full identity, a rebrand I ran from the client side, and the studio reel.

About the role.

Shape
Two to three days a week. Happy to start on a paid pilot.
Where
Amsterdam. My afternoon overlaps with the US morning.
Who
Just me, no studio in between.
First
The next release, not a brand audit.
