PROCESS:
We took the flat 2D flame logo and brought it into Adobe Illustrator to create different perspectives, and shapes with lighting and shadows as a base reference. Then we used Google AI Studio and the Nano Banana model to create these scenes. Some of these scenes were then adjusted either in Adobe Photoshop and/or in Krea - leveraging the various models (Krea 1, Flux).

WHAT WE LEARNED:
Having a reference image helped create the look that we were aiming for - especially with the different angles, and lighting. Often times, a simple, clear prompt is all you need. Depending on one tool did not render the results we wanted. Understanding and knowing that there would be more noodling afterwards was important.
