Router designed this mural as part of Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artist series. The campaign won a 2023 Design Week Award as well as two OBIE Awards, the OBIE Craft Award for Best Illustration and a Silver OBIE Award in the Billboards category.Long before today’s image generation models, our concept here involved an AI model called a generative adversarial network (GAN) to create elements of the mural’s background scene.Sam trained the model until convergence on impressionist landscapes, then hijacked the learning process by swapping the dataset with ~15,000 images of urban scenes and skylines. This process took about a week, before Nicholas I collaged the results into the final design.
