What really makes a design good—or bad? That’s the big question behind our latest YouTube Live: Trash or Treasure: Rating AI Designs Live. In this session, Carina dives into the world of AI-generated artwork and puts designs to the test. Are they creative masterpieces… or total design flops? Joined by two of her amazing Design Suite coaches, Aja and Julie, this live discussion turned into a hilarious and insightful deep dive into design, creativity, and the growing influence of AI in the design world.
