Good work gets dismissed as AI-made for very specific, very fixable reasons. This checklist walks your own portfolio through the seven tells and shows you what to change first. It launches July 13.
AI tools reach for the average of everything they have seen. When your work leans on the same defaults, it reads as generated even when you sweated every pixel. That is unfair to your hours, and it is fixable.
What’s inside
The seven tells, before-and-after examples of each, a 10-minute audit you run on your own portfolio, and a ranked list of what to change first so you don’t redo everything at once.
Who it’s for
Designers whose work is better than it reads. If a client, a recruiter, or a stranger on the internet has ever shrugged at something you worked hard on, this audit tells you why.
I wrote about the founder-brand version of this problem on the blog. This checklist is the designer version, aimed at your own portfolio.
