looking at old yellow pages covers as design reference for something and i’m growing increasingly convinced graphic design peaked sometime in the late 70s/early 80s
Counter-prediction: we’re going to see a big Raygun / Emigre revival. Fits the surge of analog and it’s overdue on the 20 year trend cycle! Grit and humanity meets new technology!
0 VC funding. $500M(+) in revenue. Less than 200 employees. And now they're reinventing medical imaging.
@midjourney, you know, the AI image company.
Every founder hears the same thing: you can't build anything that matters without raising a mountain of venture capital $$$. But Midjourney never got the memo.
That structure buys the one thing money can't: nobody to ask for permission.
So last night, they finally pulled the cover off one of their secret hardware projects and the reveal was epic.
The world's first full-body ultrasound CT scanner. The goal: affordable full-body imaging for everyone on Earth.
How does it work?
You stand on a small platform and get lowered into a shallow pool of water. In under a minute, it builds a detailed 3D map of your body, capturing more than 25 organs and anatomical structures.
100x faster and 10x cheaper than an MRI. Oh, and zero radiation.
And if that wasn't enough, they're putting these in spas, not hospitals, with the first one set to open by the end of 2027.
I'm old enough to remember when people thought Midjourney was just an AI image model. But if you've followed along, they've said over and over again that they're a AI research and data company.
And now it's here.

. @midjourney Scanner interactive 3d model I made!
fun piece of trivia: I interned for @JMRothberg who created the ultrasound-on-chip tech behind the scanner
great work @DavidSHolz + team!
play with the model below (thx Devin for carrying)
this is actually incredible
a full body ultrasound scanner that takes 60 seconds instead of spending an hour in an MRI tube, without radiation, hospitals or a $2000 bill
soon you’ll just walk into a health spa, order a coffee, step into the pod, and walk out with a 3D map of your body
the future is finally starting to look like the future
I need more designer friends or people who appreciate beauty and interactions. I have been cooking a lot, but no one to show, I've become lonely just like Conquest
We created a unique Identity system for @DaltonMillsAI that was inspired by the history of blue collar & trades businesses in America.
We've been handling:
- Brand Identity Design
- Fundraising asset support.
- Website Design & Dev Support.
- Podcast Identity & Management.
To get good animations from an AI you need to get good at telling it what you want:
- "stagger this list of items"
- "make this animation direction-aware"
- "spacial consistency", "crossfade", "layout animation",
I made a motion vocabulary for this:
