Join here → https://effekt.design/#community ------ I designed a complete brand identity from scratch using AI as a creative partner, not a replacement. In this video I walk through the full branding process for a real product called Foldpad, a minimalist markdown editor; covering logo design, typography, color systems, and brand mockups. If you're a designer wondering how AI tools actually fit into a professional design workflow in 2026, this is an honest, unfiltered look at where AI helps, where it falls short, and where your judgment as a designer still leads. No staged demos, just the real process from prompt to polished brand. The tool I used throughout is Lovart, an AI design agent that helped me explore directions faster than I could solo. Everything you see; the logo exploration, the visual system, the mockups; came from a real design direction with AI accelerating the work, not doing the thinking for me. ------ Chapters and full process below. 0:00 — AI as a Creative Partner 4:45 — Exploring Logo Concepts 8:30 — Refining Typography & Logomark 9:10 — Establishing the Color Palette 10:20 — Generating Mockups & Visual Assets 13:45 — Assembling Assets & Finalizing Deliverables 14:07 — The Future of AI in Design ------ Follow Lovart: X: https://x.com/lovart_ai Instagram:   / lovart.ai   TikTok:   / lovart_ai   YouTube:    / @lovart_ai   ------ #BuiltWithLovart #AiDesign #AIBranding
