I’m running a short survey on how African creativity and culture show up in modern product design, and I’d love to hear your perspective.
It’s quick, thoughtful, and your input will help shape something meaningful.
Take the survey here: https://t.co/PeMEGrcz0T
built an MDM playbook. wrote it up. thought it was done. then had to explain it 15 different ways to 15 different people. the writing was never the hard part. translation is.
Over the last 7 years, I’ve focused a lot of my attention on getting more people into tech in Africa.
And for the past 4 years and 7 months, @AltSchoolAfrica has been providing technical and non-technical courses, and now it’s time for the next phase of AltSchool.
The next phase that’ll make proper education accessible to all Africans.
It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it.
Follow me as we step into the new phase of education in Africa. When I say education, I mean yes. EDUCATION.
So I tried reworking the prompt. Just for a little more depth:
Generate exactly 12 avatars in a 3-column, 4-row grid. Each avatar must sit in its own clearly defined square cell with consistent padding on all sides. Maintain generous, equal whitespace between every avatar. Each avatar is a stylized 3D bust (head and shoulders), rendered with a modern, polished aesthetic. Skin tones should span the full spectrum of African complexions. No two avatars should look alike. Vary gender expression, facial structure, age (young adult to middle-aged), and hairstyle across all 12. Include a rich mix of locs, braids, afros, twists, fades, cornrows, natural coils, and headwraps. Incorporate subtle cultural accessories where appropriate, e.g., earrings, beaded jewelry, kente-pattern clothing, or ankara-print collars. High-resolution 3D render. Faces must be large enough that eyes, nose, and lip details remain sharp. Soft studio lighting with slight depth of field. Backgrounds per cell should be clean, minimal, and color-coordinated: muted tones or soft gradients that complement each avatar's palette without competing. Overall Mood: Confident, vibrant, modern. I have attached a reference image style.
