Fake it till you make it. Graphic design, part seven. Use a content aware scale to warp and distort your objects in a delightfully humorous manner. This is probably my favorite feature in Photoshop. Use people in a context that they don't belong. Like old people looking like absolute gangsters. Use annotations, lines, and hand drawings to make your project feel like it's part of something real. And quite often makes it feel like you're glimpsing into the mind of a genius. Mix your media and paste it onto your design. Even better, create your design completely free free from a computer. Print things out, cut things up, and rip them. This adds depth and character to whatever you're working on and tells everyone that you didn't use AI to create this.
