Density is all about making spaces work smarter. Whether it's improving office layouts, cleaning schedules, or staffing, their innovative sensors and software track real-time usage to help companies optimize their spaces—all while ensuring privacy. But to match their forward-thinking approach, Density needed visuals that could tell this story in a fresh, futuristic way.
Density wanted to move beyond overused stock photos and typical vectors. They needed visuals that felt as cutting-edge as their tech. The goal? To create space-themed illustrations that blended technology and human interaction, showing the contrast between crowded, busy spaces and open, productive environments. Most importantly, they wanted illustrations that were 100% unique—something you wouldn't find anywhere else online.
Density provided the following reference to guide the editorial illustration style:
Here's the moodboard we created to kick off the exploration phase by sourcing images online:
We dove into the project using Midjourney, an AI tool from our creative arsenal, to start building Density's vision. The focus was on showing how people use and move through workspaces—blending elements of technology and space.
The first round of AI-generated visuals explored both cramped and open environments, but something was off.
After reviewing the first batch, Density requested a more optimistic tone.
Love the visuals, but the colors make them look a bit dystopian. Can we make them more optimistic?
Bianca Takahashi, Creative Gen AI Specialist at Superside, had a quick and flexible solution that didn't involve starting from scratch.
Here's how she did it:
After feeding the edited images back into Midjourney, the rest of the images were much easier to generate because we had already established the style. We went from a dystopian, chaotic moodboard to a more organized, aligned, and consistent image batch.
This streamlined process allowed us to produce a cohesive set of custom illustrations that could be immediately used across Density's resource center—enhancing their reports, articles, and insights.
By blending the best of AI and Photoshop, we created over 70 custom illustrations that served as the foundation of Density's moodboard and were ready for production in their projects.
Here's what Density achieved:
Density crafted 70+ illustrations that couldn't be replicated with traditional methods or stock visuals.
Density saved 82.9% in design time, speeding up iterations and keeping the project within budget.
Density's new visual style perfectly captured their brand's futuristic and human-centered focus, balancing crowded and open workspaces.
The new illustration styles are really good!
