Exploring AI Text Effects with Adobe Firefly

Today, I'm excited to share my experience with the Adobe Firefly text effect tool, I had the opportunity to test-drive it as part of my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. 

First and foremost, let's address the logistics. As a part of the Adobe CC ecosystem, Firefly comes bundled with your subscription. However, it operates on a token system, where one token is expended per image created. With an allocation of approximately 1,000 tokens per month across all CC programs, I definitely had enough to experiment with.

When it comes to generating text effects, simplicity is key. Complex prompts tend to result in all sorts of odd outcomes. Simple and straightforward led to much more cohesive results. To enhance the depth and intricacy of the letters I found a trick – just hit that prompt button with an empty message box. It's like adding layers to your design, one prompt at a time.

This creative is tailored for a very specific design, and the tool has a small font selection and color backdrop options. As for image resolution, well, let's just say it's digital-focused if at best.

Overall, my time with Adobe Firefly was a perfect blend of innovation and simplicity and a fun addition to my designer's toolkit.

Until next time, keep creating and innovating!

I need to clean up the paths and positioning but wanted you to get a first peek while I’m finessing!
