Improve by taking something away
Choose a small thing you made before: a layout, object, paragraph, melody or routine. Remove one element and make the remaining parts work harder. Explore the trade-off instead of assuming that simpler is always better.
One brief.
Your perspective.
Any experience level. Work created without generative AI.
Make a start ↗What you need
Your own earlier work, permission to share any contributors’ material, and the same tools for both versions.
A path to try
Describe the purpose of the original and choose one element to remove. Predict what will improve and what might be lost.
Create a revised version without generative AI. Adjust the remaining parts only as much as necessary.
Share before and after, compare them against the same goal, and describe a case where you would keep the original.
Help the next attempt.
What became clearer, and what was lost? Judge both versions against the stated purpose. Recommend one test that could help decide.
What to share
Your result, the tools you used, a decision you changed and a question for the community. Upload a cover image or include a public HTTPS link for audio, video, code or a full document. Use your own materials or clearly credit and obtain permission for contributions.
