 | I’ve been experimenting with a small creative project that uses AI (including midjourney) to generate fictional pop-star personas — complete with magazine covers, performance photos, album covers, short bios, and even tabloid-style articles. The idea is to simulate what it’s like to “be” a rising pop artist — without copying any real people. Each persona is unique, designed through free-written prompts and aesthetic cues users pick (genre, vibe, palette, etc.). Here’s an example from one test: Lina Vale, a fictional Gen-Z alt-pop artist the system generated using AI image and text tools. Her “press kit” includes a moody photoshoot, a conflicted Pitchfork-style review, and even a tabloid article about her melting down over a silver stage dress at a London boutique. The whole persona — from her fragile-ambitious sound to the PR scandal that reshapes her image — was built from a few creative prompts in the form. It’s part entertainment, part storytelling experiment — exploring how AI can build believable celebrity persona extensions of yourself and help with creative roadblocks. If anyone’s into celeb personas, AI creative direction, or pop culture aesthetics in general, I’d love feedback — what would you want your own “pop-star kit” to include? (If you want to try it, I made a quick Google Form where you can generate your own persona — link in the comments.) [link] [comments] |
