šŸŽØ Speak or Type, Let Illustrator Do the Design

Adobe Illustrator just got a major upgrade — and it's now powered by the latest Adobe Firefly Vector Model.
With this update, you can now create and edit vector graphics using natural language prompts — no need to draw from scratch.

šŸ” What’s New in Illustrator

  • Generative Shape Fill
    Fill any shape with rich, AI-generated vector graphics.
    āž¤Customize shape strength, style, and colors
    āž¤ Reference styles from existing artwork
    āž¤ Outputs remain fully editable and scalable

  • Text-to-Pattern
    Describe a pattern (e.g., ā€œfloral geometric gridā€) and Illustrator will generate multiple variations.
    āž¤ Adjust color palettes, density, and effects
    āž¤ Save generated patterns as reusable swatches
    āž¤ Explore sample prompts for inspiration

  • Text-to-Vector Graphic
    Type in ideas like ā€œfuturistic cityscapeā€ or ā€œflat-style avocado iconā€ to generate detailed, editable vector art.
    āž¤ Pick from multiple AI-generated variations
    āž¤ Fine-tune graphics via the Properties panel
    āž¤ Great for icons, characters, and full scenes

šŸ’” Quick Tip: Vectors are built from mathematical paths (points, lines, curves), not pixels — so they scale up or down without losing clarity.

In the battle of content marketing vs. email marketing, the real winners are those who combine both.

Content marketing helps you get discovered—through blogs, videos, SEO, and social media. It builds trust, boosts visibility, and turns curious clicks into loyal followers.

Email marketing gives you ownership. No algorithms. No guesswork. Just direct access to your audience—where you can personalize messages, nurture leads, and drive conversions.

When used together:

  • Content draws people in.

  • Email keeps them engaged.

  • Both work hand-in-hand to grow your audience and revenue.

Instead of choosing one over the other, the smartest brands leverage both to build a sustainable growth engine.

šŸš€ Levanta Shows What Ads Won’t Tell You

Tired of wasting money on ads that don’t convert?
In today’s performance-driven landscape, smart growth means more than just spending more—it means spending better. Whether you're scaling a brand, building a business, or running high-stakes campaigns, the real edge lies in strategic allocation.

That’s where AI and affiliate intelligence come in.

Grow smarter: Reallocate ad spend, boost ROAS with affiliates

Ad costs are rising. Clicks aren’t converting like they used to. And ROAS? It’s all over the place.

Here’s the thing: ad spend will always be part of your mix. But it doesn’t have to be your only lever.

Levanta’s Affiliate Shift Calculator helps you model what could happen if you reallocated a portion of your ad budget into affiliate marketing—a channel that only charges when it drives actual results.

It’s not a generic tool. Your scenario is reviewed by an affiliate expert and built around your real inputs.

You’ll get a custom forecast with projected ROAS, revenue lift, and estimated efficiency—delivered

straight to your inbox, fast.

It’s free to try, takes just two minutes to get started, and could shift the way you grow.

šŸŽØ Prompt of the Day: Design with Flow, Not Friction

You know that feeling when you're staring at a blank canvas, knowing what you want to create—but not how to begin?

That’s when design becomes more than aesthetics—it becomes about unlocking momentum.

The deadline was tight. The brief was vague.
But instead of diving into Dribbble for inspiration or second-guessing every layout…

The prompt went into ChatGPT:

ā€œAct as a senior UI/UX designer. I’m starting a new design project and feeling creatively blocked. Suggest a design workflow, inspiration sources, wireframe structure, and tips for building momentum fast.ā€

The results delivered instant traction:

šŸ›  Workflow: Research → Sketch → Wireframe → Iterate → Polish
šŸ“Œ Inspo Sources: Awwwards, Landbook, Mobbin, and real user interviews
šŸ—‚ Wireframe Tips: Start with mobile-first, use 12-column grids, prioritize CTAs
šŸš€ Momentum Hack: Set 30-minute design sprints with 1 goal per sprint

From there, the creative block cracked open.
The UI started taking shape, the UX made sense, and the confidence came back.

Design isn’t just about tools—it’s about starting right.

Try this exact prompt the next time you feel stuck.
Let AI help you get into flow before you open Figma.

šŸ–¼ļø Image Prompt of The Day

Create image A post-human Earth where rising sea levels have submerged coastal cities. Only the top floors of skyscrapers protrude from the water, covered in moss and nesting seabirds. Boats left adrift are half-sunken and overgrown. Jellyfish drift through sunken subways. Muted light filters through waterlogged windows. Photorealistic, serene yet eerie.
