Brand mascot exploration

Notes kept on forgejo.miguesync.es about using Raphael AI, a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.

Finding a mascot style takes many iterations. Raphael AI makes exploration cheap:

Tips

1. Narrow down to two or three directions and iterate on expressions.
2. Generate the mascot in different poses to test versatility.
3. Hand the chosen direction to an illustrator for a clean vector version.
4. Keep the prompt history as part of the brand guidelines.
5. Start broad: animal or object, personality, colour palette.

Why Raphael AI

• Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
• Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
• Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.

Responsible use

Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
